Opening Night and Home Schedule at Inter.co Stadium
The Lions open the 2027 campaign on Saturday, Feb. 20, hosting the New England Revolution at 7 p.m. ET.

Orlando Faces Seven Road Opponents on Apple TV
Away from home, Orlando faces seven conference opponents during the sprint campaign. The road itinerary sends the Lions to play Chicago Fire FC, FC Cincinnati, Red Bull New York, D.C. United, Atlanta United FC, CF Montréal, and Charlotte FC.
Every match of the 2027 MLS Sprint Season will be broadcast on Apple TV across more than 100 countries and regions. The streaming platform serves as a single destination for viewers with no regional blackouts.
Sprint Season Determines Qualification for International Competitions
The 2027 MLS Sprint Season introduces a modified structure where each club plays its 14 conference opponents exactly once—seven matches at home and seven on the road. The campaign kicks off the weekend of February 19–21.
Regular-season play culminates in the Audi 2027 MLS Cup Playoffs and the MLS Cup championship match over Memorial Day weekend in May. Beyond crowning a league champion, the results carry direct implications for international competition.
Final standings from the sprint season will determine qualification berths for the 2028 Concacaf Champions Cup and the 2028 Leagues Cup. Eighteen teams total will qualify for the Leagues Cup, split evenly with nine from each conference, while five berths are reserved for the Concacaf Champions Cup based on sprint season performance.
