The priority order for the Re-Entry Draft was reverse order of finish in 2014, taking into account playoff performance.[[http://pressbox.mlssoccer.com/content/roster-rules-and-regulations] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130823031630/http://pressbox.mlssoccer.com/content/roster-rules-and-regulations |date=2013-08-23 }} 2014 MLS Roster Rules and Regulations] Unlike other 2014-15 offseason drafts, the 2015 expansion sides [Orlando City SC](/source/Orlando_City_SC) and [New York City FC](/source/New_York_City_FC) were placed at the bottom of the selection order.
Available to all teams in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry draft were:
* Players who were at least 23 years old and had a minimum of three years experience in MLS whose options were not exercised by their clubs (available at option salary for 2015).
* Players who were at least 25 years old with a minimum of four years of MLS experience who were out of contract and whose club did not wish to re-sign them at their previous salary (available for at least their 2014 salary).
* Players who were at least 30 years old with a minimum of eight years of MLS experience who were out of contract and whose club did not wish to re-sign them (available for at least 105% of their 2014 salary).
Players who were not selected in Stage 1 of the Re-Entry Draft were made available in Stage 2. Clubs selecting players in Stage 2 were able to negotiate a new salary with the player. Players who remained unselected after Stage 2 were made available to any MLS club on a first-come, first-served basis.
Teams also had the option of passing on their selection.
==Available players==
Players were required to meet age and service requirements to participate as stipulated by the terms of the MLS Collective Bargaining Agreement. The league released a list of all players available for the Re-Entry Draft on December 11, 2014.
