Within the first full month of MLS action, Orlando City SC supporters can look forward to two home games at Exploria Stadium.
The Lions open against CF Montréal on February 27 while facing FC Cincinnati on March 12.
The first away assignment for Oscar Pareja‘s Lions is a trip to Illinois to face Chicago Fire at Soldier Field on March 5.
The regular season will come to a close with 2022 MLS Decision Day on October 9.
This sets the stage for the 2022 MLS Cup Playoffs, with MLS Cup itself to be held on November 5.
Inaugural fixtures against Austin FC and Charlotte FC
Back in 2020, MLS sides controversially didn’t face every other single opponent for the first time ever – and this theme continues.
This was, in part, due to Inter Miami, Nashville SC and Austin FC’s league entrances, plus COVID-19 travel restrictions.
In 2022, Orlando City SC will face all 14 of their Eastern Conference opponents twice (home and away) while facing just eight teams from the Western Conference once.
This forthcoming 2022 season, Nashville SC are now a Western Conference team after two seasons in the East.
With Charlotte FC entering Major League Soccer in 2022, the inaugural meeting of CLTFC and Orlando City SC will take place at Exploria Stadium on April 30.
With Austin FC entering MLS in 2021, Orlando City SC‘s inaugural meeting with Verdes will take place at Q2 Stadium on May 22.
As for the Lions’ cross conference affairs, these take place on these dates.
- @ LA Galaxy – March 19
- @ Portland Timbers – March 27
- vs. Los Angeles FC – April 2
- @ Austin FC – May 22
- vs. FC Dallas – May 28
- vs. Houston Dynamo – June 18
- @ Colorado Rapids – July 13
- vs. Seattle Sounders – August 31
Meeting in-state and out-of-state foes
As for other notable fixtures in today’s full release, all the anticipation of course surrounds Orlando City SC‘s next clashes with Florida rivals Inter Miami as well as Atlanta United.
Meeting seven times in MLS so far, Orlando City SC have defeated Inter Miami three times with the Fort Lauderdale-based side also earning two victories.
As Englishman Phil Neville attempts to right a poor eleventh-placed finish in 2021, the next chapters are set to be etched into Sunshine Clásico history.
Orlando City SC face The Herons two times this year, at Exploria Stadium on July 9 and at DRV PNK Stadium on September 4.
Orlando City SC‘s 2022 home meeting with fierce rivals Atlanta United is on September 14.
As for the away fixture, Oscar Pareja‘s Lions fly north above Interstate 75 to visit Mercedes-Benz Stadium on July 17.
