Orlando City Soccer Club kick off exciting 2026 preseason schedule

Preseason plans are set with preseason training underway at the Orlando Health Training Ground at Osceola Heritage Park.

Orlando City SC has announced its preseason schedule, presented by Orlando Health, ahead of the 2026 Major League Soccer season. The slate includes four preseason friendlies and scrimmages as the club prepares for its 12th MLS campaign. 

The Lions kick off preseason training Monday, Jan. 12, at the Orlando Health Training Ground at Osceola Heritage Park. Just over two weeks later, City will host USL Championship side Lexington Sporting Club in a closed-door friendly. 

Following that match, City will travel to Mexico for a one-week training camp from Sunday, Jan. 25, through Saturday, Jan. 31. This marks the club’s third consecutive preseason trip to Mexico before returning to Orlando. 

The Lions will then face Nashville SC on Saturday, Feb. 7, and FC Cincinnati on Wednesday, Feb. 11. Both matches will be away and closed to the public. 

Orlando City will conclude its preseason Saturday, Feb. 14, against the Colorado Rapids in a match open exclusively to Season Ticket Members. Members will receive an email to RSVP for the match from their Member Experience Specialist. 

For any questions, members can contact their representative or email tickets@orlandocitysoccer.com. 

For a 12th consecutive year, the Lions will kick off their MLS regular season campaign in Downtown Orlando, hosting Red Bull New York on Saturday, Feb. 21, at Inter&Co Stadium. The home opener, presented by Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute, will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET.

 Season Ticket Memberships, single-match tickets and three-match Hat Trick Packs for City’s 2026 campaign are on sale now.
