The 2010 MLS SuperDraft was the eleventh annual SuperDraft presented by Major League Soccer. It was held on January 14, 2010 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the 2010 NSCAA Convention. The 2010 SuperDraft consisted of four rounds with sixteen selections each, for a total of 64 players selected during the draft. The draft preceded the 2010 MLS season.
Philadelphia served as host to the 2010 draft the same year the Philadelphia Union begin play in MLS. As an expansion team, Philadelphia received the rights to the first selection in each of the four rounds. As the champion from the 2009 MLS season, Real Salt Lake had the rights to the final selections in each round. As similar in other drafts, teams may trade these rights away to other teams for other rights such as players, special roster spots, or other rights of interest.
