ORLANDO, FL - Orlando City SC has announced its preseason schedule, presented by Orlando Health, ahead of the 2023 Major League Soccer (MLS) season. The slate is highlighted by an open-door contest at Exploria Stadium in Orlando on Saturday, Feb. 18, as the Lions take on the New England Revolution as part of the Club’s annual Kickoff to Soccer events. The scrimmage will run in conjunction with the reveal of the highly-anticipated 2023-24 primary jersey, presented by Orlando Health.

The event will be General Admission, with Season Ticket Members receiving complimentary tickets that will also grant access to the jersey launch ahead of the match. The General Public can claim complimentary tickets to both events by submitting their RSVP via the link here through Feb. 11.
