Within the first full month of MLS action, Orlando City SC supporters can look forward to three league games at Inter&Co Stadium.
The Lions open against CF Montréal on Saturday, February 24 while facing Minnesota United (Saturday, March 9), and Austin FC (Saturday, March 23).
Remarkably, Orlando City SC have hosted a home opener in every single one of their nine MLS campaigns so far – and do so again in 2024.
The first away assignment for Oscar Pareja‘s Lions is a mouthwatering one.
Indeed, on Saturday, March 2, the Lions visit Florida rivals Inter Miami and Lionel Messi at Chase Stadium.
The regular season will come to a close with 2024 MLS Decision Day on Saturday, October 19.
This sets the stage for the 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs and MLS Cup with details to be announced at a later date.
No first ever visit to St. Louis CITY SC
Since 2020, MLS sides have controversially not faced every other single opponent – and this theme continues.
This was, in part, due to Inter Miami, Nashville SC, Austin FC, Charlotte FC, and St Louis CITY SC’s league entrances, plus COVID-19 travel restrictions.
In 2024, Orlando City SC will face all 14 of their Eastern Conference opponents twice (home and away) while facing just six teams from the Western Conference once.
With St. Louis CITY SC entering Major League Soccer’s Western Conference in 2023, the Missouri side first visited Inter&Co Stadium back on August 26, going down 2-1 to our Lions.
However, Oscar Pareja‘s Lions will have to wait to visit St. Louis CITY SC for the first time in MLS.
With no CITYPARK meeting scheduled for this season, the Lions’ will contest these six 2024 cross-conference affairs, however.
- vs. Minnesota United – Saturday, March 9
- vs. Austin FC – Saturday, March 23
- @ San Jose Earthquakes – Saturday, May 18
- vs. Los Angeles FC – Saturday, June 15
- @ Sporting Kansas City – Saturday, August 24
- @ FC Dallas – Saturday, September 28
The March 23 fixture is Orlando City SC‘s first ever MLS home game against Austin FC.
Meeting in-state and out-of-state foes, including that man Lionel Messi
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 10 times in MLS so far, Orlando City SC have defeated Inter Miami five times with the Fort Lauderdale-based side also earning three victories.
Orlando City SC face The Herons two times this year, our aforementioned first away fixture at Chase Stadium on Saturday, March 2, and the reverse fixture at Inter&Co Stadium on Wednesday, May 15.
Pending injury or suspension, the latter fixture will be Lionel Messi’s first ever game at Inter&Co Stadium after fatigue ruled him out of this year’s Sunshine Clásico in the 407.
Orlando City SC‘s 2024 home meeting with fierce rivals Atlanta United is intriguingly set for 2024 MLS Decision Day on Saturday, October 19.
As for the away fixture, Oscar Pareja‘s Lions fly north above Interstate 75 to visit Mercedes-Benz Stadium early on this campaign on Sunday, March 17.
