The priority order for the Re-Entry Draft was reverse order of finish in 2014, taking into account playoff performance.[2] Unlike other 2014-15 offseason drafts, the 2015 expansion sides Orlando City SC and New York City FC were placed at the bottom of the selection order.
Available to all teams in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry draft were:
- Players who were at least 23 years old and had a minimum of three years experience in MLS whose options were not exercised by their clubs (available at option salary for 2015).
- Players who were at least 25 years old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience who were out of contract and whose club did not wish to re-sign them at their previous salary (available for at least their 2014 salary).
- Players who were at least 30 years old with a minimum of eight years of MLS experience who were out of contract and whose club did not wish to re-sign them (available for at least 105% of their 2014 salary).
Players who were not selected in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft were made available in Stage 2. Clubs selecting players in Stage 2 were able to negotiate a new salary with the player. Players who remained unselected after Stage 2 were made available to any MLS club on a first-come, first-served basis.
Teams also had the option of passing on their selection.
