The sophomore year of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League is going to look very different.

Following the announcement of two expansion teams, the AUSL had more than 100 players declare for the Allocation Draft, which is scheduled to take place on Monday, Dec. 1.

The four original teams – the Talons, the Bandits, the Volts, and the Blaze – each protected five players ahead of the expansion draft. The two new teams – the Oklahoma City Spark and the Cascade – will select five players each from the pool of unprotected players.

Players who aren't selected during the expansion draft will remain with their current team.

Immediately following the Expansion Draft, all six teams will participate in the Allocation Draft.

The AUSL draft will air live Monday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPNU and in the AUSL streaming hub.
