2024 Orlando City SC season

The 2024 Orlando City SC season is the club's 14th season of existence in Orlando and 10th season as a Major League Soccer franchise, the top-flight league in the United States soccer league system. Orlando will also play in two other competitions: the Leagues Cup and the CONCACAF Champions Cup. As a result of a decision by Major League Soccer, Orlando City did not contest the U.S. Open Cup for the first time in club history.

In December 2023, head coach Óscar Pareja signed a two-year contract extension through 2025.[1] Executives Luiz Muzzi and Ricardo Moreira also signed new two-year contracts in February 2024.[2]

After four-and-a-half seasons under the Exploria sponsorship name, Orlando City's home stadium was rebranded as Inter&Co Stadium ahead of the 2024 season.[3]

Orlando introduced a new road jersey called the "Legacy Kit" in celebration of the team's 10th year in MLS. It featured a commerative crest based on the previous USL franchise's three-lion design, as well as red accents in recognition of Orlando City's original red jersey. The words "honor thy history" are written on the inside of the neckline and a jock tag at the bottom of the shirt carries the Roman numeral X.[4]

U.S. Open Cup

edit

MLS announced the league's intention to remove all its teams from the U.S. Open Cup in 2024. The USSF rejected a request for them to be replaced by their MLS Next Pro reserve teams.[8] On March 1, MLS confirmed an agreement with USSF had been reached for 8 MLS teams and a further 11 MLS Next Pro teams to participate in the 2024 edition. Orlando City was not one of these teams, and neither was MLS Next Pro affiliate Orlando City B, due to their participation in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.[9]

CONCACAF Champions Cup

edit

Orlando qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup as one of the two best clubs in the 2023 Supporters' Shield standings not already qualified for the competition, entering in round one.
