All 23 Major League Soccer clubs were eligible to participate.[{{cite web|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/12/03/mls-re-entry-draft-101-your-guide-how-re-entry-works|title=MLS Re-Entry Draft 101: Your guide to how Re-Entry works|website=MLSsoccer.com|accessdate=2017-12-16}}] The priority order for the [MLS Re-Entry Draft](/source/MLS_Re-Entry_Draft) was reverse order of finish in 2017, taking into account playoff performance.
