With no Orlando City SC fixture aired live on Sky Sports since the Lions’ 0-3 triumph at Montreal Impact on June 1, we finally have another.
Sky Sports Football will be televising Orlando City SC’s first ever home fixture against Los Angeles FC in the early hours of Sunday, 8 September (00:30 GMT).
The seventh Orlando City SC fixture shown live on Sky Sports so far this season, the Lions’ difficulty in breaching the red line may account for the drop off in televised fixtures on Sky.
Fortunately however, Premier Sports and FreeSports have picked up the slack since then with these channels airing nine live Orlando City SC fixtures of their own in the time elapsed.
Between Sky Sports and these two channels, the number of live Orlando City SC fixtures aired in Britain this year now tallies 16 – the best total yet since the Lions entered MLS in 2015.
Elsewhere, the 2019 MLS All Star Game was also aired live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Mix in the early hours of August 1.
With UK access to live Orlando City SC fixtures the best it’s ever been, we certainly have no complaints.
All we ask is that James O’Connor’s side now go one step beyond and reach the MLS Cup Playoffs for the very first time!
