The 2023 MLS SuperDraft took place on December 21, 2022, in a virtual format. The draft featured three rounds with 81 total picks available to the 28 MLS clubs at the time. FC Cincinnati held the first overall pick and selected defender Roman Celentano from Indiana University.
Notable first-round selections included midfielder Caden Clark going second overall to New York Red Bulls, forward Duncan McGuire selected third by Orlando City SC, and goalkeeper John Pulskamp chosen fourth by Sporting Kansas City. The draft class was considered particularly strong in goalkeeper talent.
The 2023 SuperDraft marked a continued evolution in MLS's approach to college soccer talent, with teams increasingly focusing on identifying players who could contribute immediately rather than long-term development prospects. Several picks from this draft went on to make significant contributions to their respective clubs during the 2023 MLS season.
