It's like having two MLS All-Star Games in one week.

Two days before the AT&T MLS All-Star Game between the best players in MLS and German champions Bayern Munich in Portland (August 6 on ESPN2, UniMas, TSN and RDS), the first-ever Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game will be played and the roster was officially unveiled on Wednesday.

The match, which will take place on August 4 at 10 pm ET and will be streamed live on WatchESPN and MLSsoccer.com, will feature a group of 20 of the top MLS Homegrown players facing the Portland Timbers U-23s at Providence Park. Fans can secure free tickets to the game by clicking here. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis and quantities are limited.

Players representing 12 MLS clubs will make up this year’s Homegrown team, including Seattle Sounders FC defender DeAndre Yedlin, who recently starred for the US national team at the World Cup in Brazil, and Chicago Fire midfielder Harry Shipp, who is currently a leading candidate for AT&T Rookie of the Year.

Other players selected who have established themselves as regulars with their teams include Colorado Rapids defender Shane O'Neill, Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Russell Teibert, Columbus Crew midfielder Wil Trapp, and LA Galaxy striker Gyasi Zardes.

All MLS clubs were asked to nominate eligible players for the game and based on availability, injuries and other criteria, the final 20 were selected in consultation with MLS director of player programs Alfonso Mondelo, who will coach the Homegrown squad on August 4.
