Orlando City has announced its full preseason schedule prior to the club’s 2024 campaign and only one match will be open to the general public, with one additional scrimmage open to Society XXI members and four completely closed. The Lions will face three MLS sides — the New England Revolution, the Houston Dynamo, and the Colorado Rapids — in addition to Brazilian Serie A side Flamengo FC, USL Championship expansion side Rhode Island FC, and Florida International University.

The Lions will open their preseason training at the club’s official training ground at Osceola Heritage Park on Jan. 15 and will head south to Port St. Lucie to train for a week from Jan. 29 to Feb. 4 after facing Flamengo on Saturday, Jan. 27. The week in Port St. Lucie will include a preseason scrimmage against FIU on Feb. 4, after which the Lions will head home.

The game against Flamengo is open to the general public and the match against the Revolution is open to Society XXI members only. Society XXI members will be contacted by their Member Service Representative with more information.

The preseason schedule is similar this year to what the club has had for the last several years under Oscar Pareja, with mostly closed scrimmages and a mixture of MLS and other assorted competition.

Orlando City will kick off its competitive play on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at Cavalry FC in Concacaf Champions Cup play. The Lions start the 2024 regular season at home in Exploria Stadium against CF Montreal on Saturday, Feb. 24 at 7:30 p.m.
