The 2023 MLS All-Star Game will be headed to the Nation’s Capital.
D.C. United’s Audi Field was chosen by MLS on Thursday to host the annual summer event on July 19, 2023. It will be the third-time ever that the All-Star Game will be held in Washington, D.C. and the first at Audi Field.
“We are thrilled to bring the MLS All-Star Game and festivities back to Washington, D.C., a city with a rich soccer history, as well as a diverse and vibrant soccer culture,” said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. “D.C. United and the community have always held a special place in the hearts of everyone who believed in the power and growth of soccer in the U.S., and Audi Field will provide an incredible backdrop for next summer’s game.”
Audi Field opened its doors in 2018 for D.C. United and since has hosted both MLS and U.S. men’s national team matches. The 2023 MLS All-Star Game will be the culmination of a week-long series of events throughout Washington including community initiatives, concerts, parties, the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge and more.
“When we made the decision to build a soccer-specific stadium in downtown Washington, D.C. it was our vision for it to become an iconic sports venue, one of the top stadiums in Major League Soccer, and have it create lifelong memories for the members of our community,” said Jason Levien and Stephen Kaplan, Co-Chairmen of D.C. United.
“To accomplish this, we knew we needed to host unique year-round events that would unite our wonderful city. Since our opening in 2018, we have hosted several different sports, including D.C. United matches, other men’s and women’s professional soccer matches, HBCU college football games with our partners at Howard University, lacrosse championships, as well as the upcoming match featuring FC Bayern Munich, one of the world’s most recognized soccer clubs.”
The 2022 MLS All-Star Game will take place at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota with a team made up of Liga MX’s top players opposing the MLS All-Stars.
