The MLS SuperDraft may not be what it used to be, but for the young players vying for a spot on a Major League Soccer team, it matters all the same.
MLS announced Tuesday its list of 141 college players eligible for selection in the draft, which will take place over four rounds and see up to 104 players picked, though teams are expected to forgo their picks in the later rounds.
The 2020 MLS SuperDraft will be the first that will not be held as a live event, and instead it will be conducted via conference call. The first two rounds will be held Thursday at 12:30 p.m. ET and will be streamed online, while the remaining two rounds will be held Jan. 13.
