Riis and Woodman head list of Preston departures
They join midfielder Ryan Ledson, whose departure from the Championship club was announced earlier this week.
Striker Riis, 26, has spent five seasons at Deepdale since moving from Denmark, while goalkeeper Woodman, 28, has played for North End for three seasons.
Also leaving this summer are defender Patrick Bauer and youngsters Kian Best and Kian Taylor.
Republic of Ireland midfielder Robbie Brady has been offered a new deal, while Ched Evans is in talks over carrying on as a coach at the club.
North End finished 20th in the Championship, avoiding relegation on the last day of the season.
Riis joined from Danish club Randers in October 2020, and over the course of five years he played 186 games for Preston, scoring 46 goals, including 20 in the 2021-22 season, his best at the club.
Woodman made 138 appearances, was the club's player of the year two seasons ago and kept 44 clean sheets.
German defender Bauer, who moved from Charlton Athletic in 2019, played 105 times for the club, although he only had one substitute appearance in the Championship this season.

Hannah Seabert makes five saves in Angel City's scoreless draw with Utah
The last place Utah Royals were held scoreless at home by 11th-place Angel City on Friday night. The game was a meeting between the NWSL's two least in-form teams. The Royals are winless in their last 11 and Angel City has not won in their last eight. The closest the visitors came to scoring was when Angel City midfielder Kennedy Fuller clipped the top of the crossbar from a long-range shot in the 54th minute. The Royals outshot Angel City 14-10 and had more shots on goal, 5-2. Utah's two best chances came from set pieces in the first half. Royals forward Mina Tanaka failed to score with a header from six yards out on both occasions. Angel City starting goalkeeper Angelina Anderson didn't play because of a lower leg injury. Danish goalkeeper Hannah Seabert made her NWSL debut in her place. She recorded five saves and a clean sheet. The tie keeps the Royals (1-11-4) in last place in the NWSL, now one point behind the Chicago Stars in 13th. Angel City (4-7-5) is still winless under Alex Straus, tying three and losing three since he took over as head coach in June.
