The MLS Next All-Star Game, formerly known as the MLS Homegrown Game, is an exhibition match between selected players in MLS Next Pro. Similar to events such as Major League Baseball's All-Star Futures Game, the National Hockey League's NHL All-Star Skills Competition and the National Basketball Association's Rising Stars Challenge, the event serves as a supporting event to the league's all-star game.[1]
The inaugural game, held on August 4, 2014 against the Portland Timbers U23s at Providence Park, ended in a scoreless draw.[2] The competition was held every season until 2020 when it was disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition resumed under its current name and format.
