MLS Makes Format Changes To Annual SuperDraft Official

MLS officials formally announced the "public-facing format changes" for the '20 MLS SuperDraft on Jan. 9. The event will be a "jointly produced MLS and ESPN show that will stream live on Twitter, the ESPN App, YouTube and Facebook." The live stream "will feature cameras embedded with players and club decision-makers for real-time draftee reactions, live look-ins on club draft rooms, and instant engagement from fans on Twitter during the first round." The SuperDraft will be held in four rounds, with 26 players selected in each round. The MLS Combine of years past "will cease to exist" (CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, 12/13).
