Key players

The 2025 MLS All-Star Roster features 29 players representing 15 clubs.

• Denis Bouanga: A menace on the wings, Bouanga is looking for his third consecutive 20-goal season with LAFC. The Gabon international often delivers on the biggest stage, too.
• Anders Dreyer: Perhaps the MLS Newcomer of the Year frontrunner, Dreyer has a league-high 15 assists alongside 11 goals for San Diego. The Danish international has shown tremendous versatility and efficiency in the final third.
• Evander: With 15g/8a, Evander has hit the ground running at FC Cincinnati since arriving from the Portland Timbers. The Supporters' Shield leaders acquired him this winter for an MLS-record $12 million plus add-ons.
• Alex Freeman: The youngster player on this year's MLS All-Star Roster, Freeman's profile continues to ascend for club and country. The homegrown right back is enjoying a breakout season with Orlando.
• Chucky Lozano: The Mexican winger and former CF Pachuca star has been a resounding success as San Diego's first-ever DP signing, both on and off the field.
• Diego Luna: A rising USMNT star, Luna was named the 2024 MLS Young Player of the Year. Real Salt Lake's creative midfielder is chasing a World Cup roster spot next summer.
• Sam Surridge: Nashville's resurgence has featured Surridge in a central role; the English striker's 18 goals are tied with Lionel Messi for the league lead.

Head coach

Austin FC's Nico Estévez leads the MLS All-Stars as the host club's head coach. The Spaniard was hired last October and is the Verde & Black's second-ever manager.

The 2025 LIGA MX All-Star roster features 23 players from 11 clubs, led by four from Club América.

• Juan Brunetta: Tigres UANL's skillful midfielder is among LIGA MX's top stars, earning Balón de Oro honors in 2023-24 as the league's best overall player.
• Sergio Canales: The former Spanish international and Real Madrid midfielder is one of the cornerstones of an ambitious CF Monterrey side that reached the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup knockout stages over the summer.
• Willer Ditta: Named LIGA MX's Center Back of the Year for 2024-25, Ditta has also stood out for Cruz Azul on the international stage, helping La Máquina win the Concacaf Champions Cup in 2025.
• Luis Malagón: Arguably Club América's biggest star and a key piece behind their recent run to three straight LIGA MX titles, Malagón has parlayed his club success to the Mexico national team, replacing longtime incumbent Guillermo "Memo" Ochoa as El Tri's No. 1 goalkeeper.
• Gilberto Mora: Already a full-fledged Mexico international, the 16-year-old is LIGA MX's youngest representative in Austin. The Club Tijuana midfielder is also the youngest player overall at this year's MLS All-Star Game.
• Sergio Ramos: One of the greatest defenders of all time, the legendary former Real Madrid and Spain captain now wears the armband for CF Monterrey. Ramos, 39, made history with Rayados at the Club World Cup, becoming the oldest player to score at the tournament.

Club América's Andre Jardine earns his second consecutive All-Star coach selection after winning the 2025 LIGA MX Coach of the Year award. The Brazilian manager has won six titles with Las Águilas since 2023.

Austin FC play home matches at Q2 Stadium, a 100% privately financed, state-of-the-art stadium. The club has hosted 81 consecutive MLS home sellouts, marking the league’s longest active streak.
