AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Austin FC’s Q2 Stadium will host the 2025 Major League Soccer All-Star match, Commissioner Don Garber announced Wednesday, putting the young club in line to stage one of the league’s premier annual events.
The state-of-the-art 20,738-seat stadium opened in 2021, the first year of play for the franchise. The club has hosted U.S. women’s and men’s national team matches for World Cup qualifying, pre-Olympic warmup matches, and Gold Cup matches. It will also host two group matches during the Copa America in July.
Austin FC has sold out 60 consecutive matches, the longest current streak in MLS.
“This city has embraced this team as we always hoped it would, and in many ways expected it would. This is a way to say ‘Thank you,’ to their fans,” Garber said at an event staged at Antone’s, a concert hall in the city’s live music entertainment district. “This city has shown the rest of the world that MLS can thrive and succeed in brand new markets that didn’t have soccer history.”
