The 2014 NWSL Expansion Draft was a special draft held on January 10 by the National Women's Soccer League to allow the expansion side Houston Dash to select players. The Dash were allowed to select ten players from the existing eight NWSL teams.
Format
- 2013 playoff teams may protect up to 9 players, and 2013 non-playoff teams up to 10.
- Clubs with more than two US allocated players must leave at least one unprotected.
- The Dash are allowed to pick up to two players from any existing team, though choosing a US allocated player is considered as using both picks.
- The Dash are allowed to pick no more than two US allocated players, one Canadian allocated player, and one Mexican allocated player.
- When an existing club loses a player, they may protect one of their remaining unprotected players.
- Existing clubs are required to protect players that are...
- On loan from another league
- A non-allocated international player
- Contractually limited against potential movement between teams
