The Audi 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs are, of course, still going on. But soon enough, the offseason will officially kick off with the MLS Expansion Draft.
Here’s a quick guide of what to expect:
What is it?
Similar to other North American professional leagues, MLS holds a draft for expansion teams to select certain players from existing teams to build their roster.
This year, the draft will be held for Minnesota United FC and Atlanta United FC — both of whom will join MLS in 2017.
When is it?
December 13, three days after MLS Cup.
