On Wednesday, the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) opened the Re-Entry Wire as part of the End of Season Process. There are 13 players across the league on this list. The complete list of players was given to all 10 teams in the NWSL ahead of Wednesday’s Re-Entry Wire Release at 1pm Eastern Time. All teams have until Thursday, October 20 at 1 pm Eastern Time to claim a player.
If a player is wanted by more than one team, said player will be awarded to the team at the top of the Waive Tie-Breaker Order. When a team claims a player through the tie-breaker, they move to the bottom of the list for the remaining waiver sessions for the rest of the offseason.
