The MLS All-Star Game is coming to Charlotte, N.C., for the first time in 2026, the league announced Wednesday.
'Charlotte has turned into a big-time soccer city, and we are pleased to bring the 2026 MLS All-Star Game to the Queen City,' MLS commissioner Don Garber said. 'The city and region keep showing up for the sport -- from packed Charlotte FC crowds to global events like the FIFA Club World Cup and Copa America the past two summers. We're excited to bring another marquee soccer event to Charlotte.'
The date and format of the game will be announced at later date.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be taking place in North America from June 11-July 19, although Charlotte was not selected as one of the 11 U.S. venues.
Charlotte FC have ranked among the league leaders in attendance since their 2022 MLS debut.
'The success of soccer matches at Bank of America Stadium has helped position Charlotte on the global stage as a premier destination for hosting some of the world's top players and teams,' said David Tepper, owner and chairman of Tepper Sports & Entertainment. 'With 2026 set to be a landmark year for soccer in the United States, we're honored to play a part by hosting the MLS All-Star Game.'
The 2025 All-Star Game, featuring MLS All-Stars facing their counterparts from Liga MX, will take place July 23 in Austin, Texas.
