This exciting match, scheduled for July 23 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and broadcast on Apple TV’s MLS Season Pass, promises a night of unparalleled soccer talent and rivalry.
The MLS All-Star Game and MLS All-Star Skills Challenge, presented by AT&T, mark the fourth time that the best players from MLS and Liga MX will face off in a clash filled with pride and passion.
