Online voting for the 2021 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target opened Wednesday to fans, media and players. This is the first time in the public portion of the MLS All-Stars rosters will be determined by a combination of fans, media and players. Voting ends 11:59 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday, July 21.
New MLS All-Star ballot
League staff reviewed performance metrics from the current 2021 season to categorize players in the positions where they are most utilized. For the first time ever, fans, media and players will be asked to pick a lineup of players. All-Star nominees can be selected in seven specific positions: goalkeeper, right back, center back, left back, defensive midfielder, attacking midfielder, and forward/winger.
Over 400 players are on the ballot in 2021. In previous years, media selected the top eight nominees from each club. The voting in 2021 allows voters more options to pick the best lineup.
