You won’t miss a second of FIFA, MLS or NWSL games — including Orlando City Soccer Club and the Orlando Pride — when you visit Orlando.
Updated April 16, 2021
In Orlando, fans of FIFA, Major League Soccer (MLS) and European football never have to miss a second of the action. Many Orlando-area restaurants, bars, hotels and even shopping malls televise important matches, and most of them on giant HDTVs complemented by mouthwatering food and drink options. That’s on top of live games from MLS’ Orlando City Soccer Club and NWSL’s Orlando City Pride, plus special soccer events at their home field, Exploria Stadium in downtown Orlando. In other words: GOAL!

Not even the biggest HDTV screen can match the experience of watching soccer live and in person! When Orlando City Soccer Club and Orlando City Pride play home games, you can catch every second of the action at the rowdy Exploria Stadium (formerly Orlando City Stadium).
The state-of-the-art venue also hosts many other soccer events, including international friendlies, expositions and more. It’s in the heart of downtown Orlando’s stellar dining and nightlife scene.
