Following years of discussion and debate, the best in MLS will finally get to take on Liga MX's elite in a new-look All-Star Game.
MLS announced on Wednesday that Los Angeles FC's Banc of California will host the first iteration of the league's new All-Star Game format on July 29. The format shift, which coincides with the league's 25th anniversary, will pit an MLS All-Star team against one from Liga MX.
The league has experimented with various in-house formats since the game's inception in 1996, including East Conference vs. Western Conference and domestic players against international players in the early years of MLS.
