All-Stars

The LIGA MX All-Stars gather Mexico's top league talent for a single, high-profile night against their MLS counterparts. Rather than representing one club, the roster draws from across LIGA MX to field a team built purely on individual quality. The annual clash with the MLS All-Stars has become one of the most-watched exhibitions on the North American soccer calendar, carrying real cross-border bragging rights. Games have been staged at MLS venues including Q2 Stadium in Austin, drawing passionate, sold-out crowds from both fan bases.

LIGA MX was first slated to send an all-star team to face MLS in 2020, but that game was called off; the cross-league format actually debuted in 2021, when MLS won on penalties. The rivalry paused in 2023 when Arsenal stepped in as that year's opponent instead, before LIGA MX returned to the fixture in subsequent years. The series has produced some lopsided results in MLS's favor, but it has quickly established itself as a genuine measuring stick between the two leagues' player pools.
