A Country Star’s Anthem at the MLS All-Star Game

I am certain of two things regarding the upcoming 2025 MLS All-Star Game. First, my spouse, a soccer enthusiast, will undoubtedly claim the television on Wednesday, July 23rd. Second, the national anthem performance promises to be exceptional, as Major League Soccer has confirmed that BRELAND will be the performer.

The multi-platinum recording artist, whose career launched with the 2019 viral hit “My Truck,” possesses a distinctive musical style that blends country, hip-hop, R&B, gospel, and pop influences. He is renowned for his songwriting and collaborations, which include notable country artists such as Keith Urban, Mickey Guyton, Shania Twain, and Thomas Rhett, to cite a few examples. However, at the MLS All-Star Game in Austin, Texas on July 23rd, his powerful vocals will take center stage as he performs “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

BRELAND has a history of performing the national anthem at various American sporting events; his performances have graced events ranging from the Daytona 500 to NFL and MLB games. In October of the previous year, he captivated audiences at the NFL London Games. His Instagram performance garnered widespread praise, with many commenting on his exceptional execution.

The 2025 MLS All-Star Game will feature a match between Major League Soccer’s top players and Liga MX’s best, in Austin’s Q2 Stadium. BRELAND, a dedicated fan of Nashville SC (specifically, players Hany Mukhtar and Walker Zimmerman), understands the importance of this event. He expressed his enthusiasm, stating that he appreciates soccer’s ability to unite people globally, making his participation in this prestigious event an honor. He further stated that he anticipates contributing to the excitement and setting the tone for a captivating match, highlighting the league’s most talented athletes.
