The MLS All-Star Game is the midseason event of Major League Soccer each year as the league and fans celebrate the best performing players.

Despite being a staple each summer, the MLS All-Star Game has undergone multiple changes throughout its history. What originally was booked as an East vs. West showdown, similar to the NBA, has undergone evolutions to feature a league squad taking on an outside opponent—and even that latter part has changed multiple times.

MLS All-Stars have played everyone from the U.S. men's national team to Premier League outfits like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and other major European sides like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Recently, though, the best of MLS face off with the Liga MX All-Stars in a continental rivalry match.

Here’s a complete history of the MLS All-Star Game winners.

Largest Margin of Victory in an MLS All-Star Game

The largest margin of victory in an MLS All-Star Game is five goals. The mark was hit twice, first in 2000 and later in 2023. The first time it happened MLS still featured the East vs. West format as 13 goals were scored between the two sides. The MLS East team defeated MLS West 9–4 in Columbus.

Fast-forward 23 years, the second time around was more embarrassing for the league. As part of Arsenal's pre-season tour, the Gunners dismantled the MLS All-Stars 5–0 at Audi Field in the nation’s capital.

The first game stands as the most goals scored in any All-Star Game, while Arsenal’s triumph represents just the third time in the game’s history that any MLS side was held scoreless.

Tijuana’s Gilberto Mora became the youngest scorer in All-Star Game history in the 64th minute of the 2025 edition. He was just the fourth teenager to score in the showcase game.

It’s no surprise Mora went on to represent Mexico at the 2026 World Cup, where his strong performances attracted even more interest from European giants this summer.
