Charlotte FC vs. Orlando City SC

Charlotte FC hosts Orlando City SC in a Major League Soccer Eastern Conference clash at Bank of America Stadium. The match brings together two clubs with contrasting trajectories: Charlotte FC, the league's newest expansion side, and Orlando City, a club with deep roots in Florida soccer that joined MLS in 2015 after a successful run in the USL Pro.

Orlando City, founded in 2010 by Phil Rawlins, won two USL championships before making the jump to MLS. The club has since become a regular contender, qualifying for the CONCACAF Champions Cup twice and lifting the U.S. Open Cup in 2022. For fans, this fixture offers a chance to see a well-established MLS side take on a rising Charlotte team in a competitive Eastern Conference matchup.
