The MLS All-Star Game is coming to Washington, D.C., after MLS awarded the 2023 summer showcase to D.C. United and Audi Field. The league made its announcement Thursday in the U.S. capital, which staged the event twice before, in 2002 and 2004. The match will take place on July 19, 2023.
The first time the game was held in D.C. featured a group of MLS All-Stars vs. members of the U.S. men’s national team at RFK Stadium on the heels of the U.S’s run to the 2002 World Cup quarterfinals, while the second was also at RFK in an East vs. West format. That was the last match before MLS went to a format in which it played against a European club. This one will be played at a four-year-old stadium against an opponent that is still to be determined.
