Hey now, we’re hosting the All-Stars, get your game on, go play. Austin’s own Q2 Stadium will host the 2025 MLS All-Star Game on Wednesday, July 23.

The game will pit a roster of 30 MLS players against 10 LIGA MX players in a battle of the leagues. Goalkeeper Brad Stuver will be the sole Austin FC All-Star and Vancouver Whitecaps FC will represent the highest headcount with four players. Notably, the roster also includes famed player Lionel Messi of Inter Miami CF.

To celebrate hosting the star-studded game for the first time in Austin, don your verde and black for a week of events hosted by El Tree.

A unique culinary creation with an artistic presentation. A small, round base, possibly a bread or pastry, is topped with a creamy, lightly toasted layer of sauce or cheese. Skewered on top are succulent, charred pieces of meat or mushroom, stacked and crowned with a tiny figurine of a skull in a top hat. The background is softly blurred, with hints of other elegantly plated dishes.
