MLS All-Star Team Featuring Messi, Lozano Faces Liga MX in Austin

The 2025 MLS All-Star Game, held on July 23 at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas, will showcase a star-studded roster featuring Lionel Messi and Hirving 'Chucky' Lozano, among other top talents from MLS and Liga MX. The 26-player MLS team was selected through a combination of fan, player, media voting, coach Nico Estévez's picks, and two commissioner selections by Don Garber, who chose Patrick Agyemang and Lozano. Vancouver Whitecaps lead MLS clubs with four players selected, while San Diego FC, an expansion team, contributed three players, including Lozano. The roster highlights a mix of experienced veterans and 15 first-time All-Stars, with notable U.S. national team members such as Patrick Agyemang, Max Arfsten, and Sebastian Berhalter included. The event will be broadcast live on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV in English, Spanish, and French and aims to renew the competitive rivalry between MLS and Liga MX after Liga MX's decisive 2024 victory. Additional events around the game include the MLS Skills Challenge, spotlighting the league's growing talent and star power.
