The 2013 NWSL College Draft took place on January 18th, 2013. It was the first college draft held by the National Women's Soccer League to assign the NWSL rights of college players to the eight NWSL teams.

Format

  • Draft order was determined by weighted draw based on an evaluation of current team strengths from the NWSL Player Allocation.
  • The order remains the same each round, as opposed to the originally announced snake format.
  • Teams will have three minutes to choose a player in each of the first two rounds and five minutes in each of the last two rounds.
