The 2021 NWSL Draft was the ninth annual meeting of National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) franchises to select eligible college players. It was held on January 13, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was the first NWSL Draft to be held virtually via videoconferencing and web streaming.

Format

All 10 teams of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) take turns making their selections over four rounds, with 10 picks per round. Draft order in each round was determined by the reverse order of standings after the preliminary stage of the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup, with the exceptions being Racing Louisville FC taking the first selection as an expansion team and Orlando Pride slotting into the fourth spot as decided by the board of governors after the team was unable to participate in the Challenge Cup.{{cite news |title=NWSL Opens Player Registration and Announces Current Selection Order for the Renamed 2021 NWSL Draft |url=https://www.nwslsoccer.com/news/article/nwsl-opens-player-registration-and-announces-current-selection-order-for-the-renamed-2021-nwsl-draft |access-date=1 December 2020 |publisher=NWSL |date=1 December 2020}}

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NWSL made the following changes to the draft regulations that apply only to the 2021 NWSL Draft:

Due to the disruption of college soccer and resulting NCAA D-I spring season in 2021, the NWSL applied for and received a waiver from the NCAA so that D-I players who are drafted could choose to report immediately for the 2021 NWSL season and forfeit their remaining collegiate eligibility, or remain with their collegiate teams until the conclusion of the NCAA D-I spring season in May 2021.{{cite web |title=Player Registration Guidelines |url=https://prod-nwsl-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/wp/uploads/2020/12/Player-Registration-Guidelines-121620.pdf |publisher=NWSL |access-date=17 December 2020}}
The NWSL waived registration requirements so that all D-I players who had exhausted three years of collegiate soccer eligibility prior to the 2020–21 academic year were automatically eligible to be drafted.{{cite news |title=NWSL eliminates draft registration requirement, expands eligible athlete pool |url=https://www.nwslsoccer.com/news/article/nwsl-eliminates-draft-registration-requirement-expands-eligible-athlete-pool |access-date=January 6, 2021 |publisher=NWSL |date=January 6, 2021}}
The NWSL playing rights of drafted players will be held until the start of the 2022 preseason rather than the end of the 2021 season as was the case previously.{{cite news |last1=Hamlin |first1=Steve |title=2021 NWSL Draft Preview: All you need to know before the first pick |url=https://www.nwslsoccer.com/news/article/2021-nwsl-draft-preview-all-you-need-to-know-before-the-first-pick |access-date=11 January 2021 |publisher=NWSL |date=January 11, 2021}}
