The 2022 MLS SuperDraft was the 23rd edition of the SuperDraft conducted by Major League Soccer. The SuperDraft is held every January prior to the start of the MLS season and has been conducted via conference calls since 2020.[1] Previously, the SuperDraft had been held in conjunction with the annual January United Soccer Coaches convention.
Since 2021, the SuperDraft consists of three rounds. Teams that received fourth-round picks for this draft via past trades received compensatory picks instead.[2] Of the 75 players selected in the SuperDraft, 28 were signed by MLS teams—most of them from the first round picks.[3]
