Rosters selected for 4th Annual MLS NEXT All-Star Game in Austin

NEW YORK – MLS NEXT announced the player selections, details, and broadcast information for the fourth annual MLS NEXT All-Star Game.

The match will showcase the future soccer stars of North America in an East vs. West showdown at Parmer Field, home of Austin FC II, in Austin, Texas on Monday, July 21 at 7:30 p.m. CT, streaming live on MLS’ YouTube channel and MLSsoccer.com. With free admission to the game, fans in Austin can watch the standouts of MLS NEXT take center stage during MLS All-Star week.

Of the 44 players set to compete in Monday night’s match, almost half have progressed to sign Homegrown deals or appear in MLS NEXT Pro. Notable Homegrown players selected as 2025 MLS NEXT All-Stars include Orlando City SC’s Gustavo Caraballo, Robert Turdean of Chicago Fire FC, and the San Jose Earthquakes’ Kaedren Spivey. Approximately 65% of former MLS NEXT All-Stars have signed professional contracts, and more than 30 alumni have gone on to impress in MLS this season, including Cavan Sullivan (Philadelphia Union), Zavier Gozo (Real Salt Lake), Jonathan Shore (New York City FC), and Benjamin Cremaschi (Inter Miami CF).

“These 44 players represent the highest level of performance and future potential across our MLS NEXT Academies,” said MLS NEXT Technical Director Luis Robles. “It’s our privilege to honor the work that these players and their clubs have put in all season. We’re excited to see them compete on July 21st and experience MLS All-Star Week in Austin.”

MLS NEXT and Allstate will provide the players with unique opportunities during MLS All-Star Week, which will include a full slate of programming events. The players will be fully immersed in MLS All-Star Week festivities, including team training, the All-Star Skills Challenge on July 22, and the MLS All-Star Game on July 23.

“We’re committed to supporting young athletes and the communities that help them thrive,” said Dan Keats, director of Sponsorships, Allstate. “Sponsoring the MLS NEXT All-Star Game is about investing in the future of the sport and celebrating the hard work, character and potential of these standout players from across the U.S. and Canada.”

The 44 players were selected following the conclusion of the 2024-25 regular season and 2025 MLS NEXT Cup. To be eligible for selection, players must have been born between 2008-10 and have competed in either the MLS NEXT regular season or in at least one of MLS NEXT’s premier events – MLS NEXT Fest, MLS NEXT Flex, Generation adidas Cup, or MLS NEXT Cup Playoffs.

The East All-Stars will be led by Orlando City SC academy director and U18 head coach Javier Carrillo, who led the Lions to their first ever Generation adidas Cup title in April. Carrillo joined Orlando City SC in 2019 and has helped develop academy products like Alex Freeman and 2024 MLS NEXT All-Star Colin Guske. In 2022, Carrillo received the prestigious Elite Formation Coaching License from the French Football Federation. The West will be coached by Austin FC U16 head coach Jason Shackell , who helped the U16 side reach the quarterfinals of the 2025 Generation adidas Cup and the Round of 32 at MLS NEXT Cup in June. The U16 squad also topped their division in the 2024-25 regular season with a 9-2-3 record.
