The Major League Soccer Homegrown Game (known as the Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game due to sponsorship reasons) is an exhibition match between the best selected homegrown players in Major League Soccer and a selected opponent. Similar to events such as Major League Baseball's All-Star Futures Game and the National Basketball Association's Rising Stars Challenge, the event serves as a supporting event to the league's all-star game.
The inaugural game, held on August 4, 2014 against the Portland Timbers U23s at Providence Park, ended in a scoreless draw.
