The 2025 MLS All-Star Game once again will pit the league’s top players against a team of All-Stars from Mexico’s LIGA MX on July 23 in Austin, Texas.
It’s the fourth time using that format for the showcase, previously done in 2021, 2022 and 2024.
“We are thrilled to once again host LIGA MX at the 2025 MLS All-Star Game, showcasing the best talent from our leagues,” MLS executive vice president Camilo Durana said.
The match at Q2 Stadium will mark the first major professional All-Star Game played in the Texas capital.
“It is always a great honor for LIGA MX to participate in an event like the MLS All-Star Game. It fills us with excitement to return to this stage to showcase the quality of our players and continue to connect with our fans in the United States,” LIGA MX director of operations Francisco Iturbide said.
The MLS roster will consist of 26 players: 12 selected by fan vote, 12 selected by Austin FC and MLS All-Star coach Nico Estevez, and two selected by MLS Commissioner Don Garber.
MLS players won the first two All-Star contests against LIGA MX. LIGA MX won last year’s event 4-1 in Columbus, Ohio.
