NWSL Announces List of Players Registered for 2022 NWSL Draft Presented by Ally
Published on December 14, 2021 under National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) News Release
CHICAGO - The National Women's Soccer League today released the full list of players who have registered for the 2022 NWSL Draft presented by Ally. The draft will be hosted virtually on Saturday, December 18 at 2 p.m. ET.
As previously announced, the board of governors voted to increase the number of draft-eligible players ahead of the 2022 NWSL Draft.
Registration was not required for the 2021 NWSL Draft due to the pandemic-altered NCAA soccer schedule. Those players who were draft-eligible, but went undrafted, were therefore NWSL discovery-eligible in 2021, even if they retained NCAA eligibility. The updated rules for the NWSL 2022 Draft allow players who are otherwise eligible, but currently on a NWSL team's discovery list, the choice to either remain on that team's discovery list or be removed in order to register for 2022 NWSL Draft. Impacted players have been notified of this update.
The 2022 NWSL Draft presented by Ally will stream live on Paramount+, the CBS Sports HQ Twitch channel and on the CBS Sports HQ and NWSL YouTube channels. CBS Sports HQ will also stream the draft from 2-4 PM, ET. Both drafts will stream internationally outside the U.S. on the NWSL's Twitch channel.
The latest draft order and more event details can be viewed here. Final draft rules can be viewed here.
