The 2023 CPL – U SPORTS Draft presented by Degree, hosted by OneSoccer’s Adam Jenkins, will include two rounds. Expansion side Vancouver FC has the first two picks in the first round of the draft. From there, selection order is based on the 2022 season standings, with the last-placed team selecting first. Reigning CPL champion Forge FC will select last in both rounds. Vancouver will not have a pick in the second round.
The annual CPL- U SPORTS Draft plays a key role in the player development pathway in Canada, serving as a critical link between the Canadian university and professional games since its inaugural iteration in 2018. The draft provides a unique opportunity for student athletes to earn professional experience while maintaining their eligibility to return to U SPORTS competition.
