ORLANDO, Fla. (July 8, 2026) — Orlando City SC goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau has been named to the 2026 MLS All-Star roster presented by Chime, the league announced today.
Crépeau earned his spot through the league's coach selection process. Since joining the Lions as a free-agent signing ahead of the 2026 season, the goalkeeper has made 14 appearances, recording 63 saves and ranking fourth in MLS in saves per 90 minutes (4.78).
The Greenfield Park, Quebec, native joined Orlando City after spending two seasons with the Portland Timbers, following previous stints with LAFC and the Vancouver Whitecaps. The 32-year-old began his professional career with CF Montréal and made 234 appearances across all competitions, recording 58 clean sheets before arriving in Central Florida.
Over his 14-year professional career, Crépeau has earned numerous honors, including the 2022 MLS Cup and Supporters' Shield with LAFC, two Canadian Championships with CF Montréal (2013, 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. He made his senior debut on Feb. 5, 2015, in a friendly against the United States. Most recently, Crépeau started all five of Canada's FIFA World Cup 2026™ matches, helping Les Rouges earn the nation's first World Cup victories and advance to the Round of 16 for the first time.
With his selection, Crépeau becomes the first Lion named an MLS All-Star since Alex Freeman and Marco Pašalić in 2025 and marks the club's ninth All-Star selection overall.
The 2026 MLS All-Star Game presented by Chime in Charlotte, N.C., will see the MLS All-Stars take on a team of All-Stars from Mexico’s top soccer league, LIGA MX, on Wednesday, July 29 (8 p.m. ET) at Charlotte FC’s Bank of America Stadium.
