Major League Soccer (MLS) officially confirmed that the 2026 MLS All-Star Game will be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, the home of Charlotte FC. This will be the 30th edition of the All-Star Game, an event that unites spectacle, competitiveness and a celebration of the growth of soccer in the United States.
Although the exact date has not yet been announced, the match is expected to be played in August 2026, a few weeks after the World Cup final. Charlotte’s location is no coincidence: the city has gained prominence as a venue for international events, including the Copa America 2024, the 2025 Club World Cup, and will also host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
