NBCUniversal Media, LLC
The 2024 MLS All-Star Game roster is capital-S stacked.
In terms of overall quality, it's likely the strongest ever. The quartet of ex-Barcelona players on Inter Miami all made the cut -- Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba -- while the reigning champions Columbus Crew boasted five selections.
Additionally, Crew head coach Wilfried Nancy will lead the MLS All-Stars, who will take on the best of Mexico's Liga MX on Wednesday, July 24 in Columbus.
It's a return to a previous format for MLS after the All-Stars lost 5-0 to English Premier League's Arsenal last year.
Here's a look at the roster by position:
