ORLANDO - Orlando City SC announced two July friendlies to sharpen the squad ahead of Major League Soccer’s return from its FIFA World Cup 2026 break, starting with a home match against USL Championship side Tampa Bay Rowdies on July 8 at Inter&Co Stadium.
The Rowdies match will be open exclusively to Season Ticket Members and registered members of the club’s official supporters groups. The club said members who need more information should reach out to their member experience specialist or email tickets@orlandocitysoccer.com.
Orlando City will then travel to Texas to face Western Conference side FC Dallas at Texas Health Mansfield Stadium on July 15, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. ET. The road trip gives the Lions a tune-up against MLS competition before the regular season resumes.
The club returns to league play on July 22 when the Lions visit the San Jose Earthquakes at PayPal Park at 10:30 p.m. ET. Orlando City’s first home match back in MLS action follows three days later on July 25, when Nashville SC visits Inter&Co Stadium at 7:30 p.m. ET. Both regular-season matches will air live on Apple TV.
