ORLANDO — Orlando City SC goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau has been named to the 2026 MLS All-Star roster, earning his selection through the league’s coach selection process after a standout first season in Central Florida.
The 32-year-old from Greenfield Park, Quebec, has made 14 appearances for the Lions, recording 63 saves and ranking fourth in MLS in saves per 90 minutes at 4.78. Crépeau joined Orlando City as a free-agent signing ahead of the 2026 season after spending two seasons with the Portland Timbers, following previous stints with LAFC and the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Crépeau becomes the first Lion named an MLS All-Star since Alex Freeman and Marco Pašalić in 2025, marking the club’s ninth All-Star selection overall. His career résumé spans 234 appearances across all competitions with 58 clean sheets, along with a 2022 MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield with LAFC, two Canadian Championships with CF Montréal in 2013 and 2014, and the 2018 USL Goalkeeper of the Year award during a loan spell with Ottawa Fury FC. He was also a finalist for the 2021 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year award.
At the international level, Crépeau has earned 37 caps for Canada and recorded 14 clean sheets since making his senior debut on Feb. 5, 2015, in a friendly against the United States. He started all five of Canada’s FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, helping the nation earn its first World Cup victories and advance to the Round of 16 for the first time.
The All-Star roster features marquee names including Leo Messi and Rodrigo De Paul of Inter Miami CF, Son Heung-Min of LAFC, and Thomas Müller of the Vancouver Whitecaps. Crépeau is one of three goalkeepers selected alongside Matt Freese of New York City FC and Brian Schwake of Nashville SC.
The 2026 MLS All-Star Game will pit the MLS All-Stars against a squad of All-Stars from Mexico’s LIGA MX on July 29 at 8 p.m. ET at Charlotte FC’s Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.
