Survive? Orlando City players do that idea one betterWith the win over Inter Miami at their recently opened Nu Stadium, Orlando City SC has become just the fourth MLS team to win after going down three goals in a match.

Orlando City SC overcomes deficits by New England in U.S. Open CupBefore the quarterfinals, Orlando City had to take on a motivated New England Revolution squad. The Lions had to face three deficits. They overcome them all to win the match starting with Iago's first goal as a Lion, assisted with a cross from Tiago.

Mental work wanes late for Orlando City at D.C. UnitedIt was a crowded penalty box. Murrell relayed the ball with another header. Working the left side of the net, Lions goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau picked up the ball, waving his arms. But Rowles had sent it toward the lower right. It was the 3-2 winning score.

Focus comes back as Orlando City goals rain on Charlotte FCBut all that history could be forgotten once time passed in the latest meeting on the pitch of Orlando City and Charlotte. This time, the Lions got Charlotte. All the goals that Orlando City players have been missing this MLS season won the match.

They were almost equal in shots, 12.2-12, and shots on goal, 4.5-4.7. They were superior in aerial duels won, 63-62. Then success falls off the table.

Orlando Pride keeps turning up their game in handing Angel City their first lossIf the Orlando Pride were an industrial motor, they'd be racing at over 100 mph without hitting high gear yet.

The records went against the Lions and fully favored LAFC. They won 6-0 only once before, against the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2020. They've scored six goals in MLS play.

Orlando City B turns on the tough against Inter Miami CF IIThe Lions of Orlando City B were riding on a high after their comeback 3-2 victory. But that was coming back from a two-goal deficit. Then they faced Inter Miami CF II. The Miami squad ran this match's deficit to four goals, scoring twice early.

All systems go as Orlando Pride take first win of season from Chicago StarsDefeating the Chicago Stars in an away match, the Orlando Pride now have the first of many wins in this 2026 NWSL season. It ends the Stars' nine-game unbeaten streak at home and marks the Pride's record at 1-1-1. But the match wasn't just about offense.

New player will spur Orlando City back to tough, winning executionIt's a critical time of lapsed focus and under-performance for Orlando City SC. As they prepare mental preparation drills and hone strategy, the club reached internationally for a key player who could spur the team to power up.

Griezmann MLS Move Official 🌟Orlando City confirms France star will arrive in summer 📸

Nashville shines bright after blanking Orlando CityOrlando City SC rested just three notches up from the bottom in the MLS Eastern Conference. Their opponent, Nashville SC, fortified their spot at the top of the same conference after dealing the Lions a 5-0 shutout. Orlando tried but could n't score.

Two opposing phenoms make for a dazzling draw for Orlando PrideThe 1-1 draw by the teams was actually a story of two peaking players in the NWSL. Orlando Pride winger Jacquie Ovalle appeared to put her team in the lead for good with a 12th-minute goal. It was called offside. Denver goalkeeper Abby Smith had 10 saves.

Orlando City SC snags their first 2026 win from CF MontrealIt took the first four MLS matches, but Orlando City SC finally snatched its first win and first three points from CF Montreal. It was a 2-1 victory. This was Head Coach Martin Perelman's debut at the helm after Oscar Pareja's departure.

The sacking has happened; now aim for the first Orlando City SC win of 2026Immediately following the New York City FC shutout of Orlando City SC, head coach Oscar Pareja knew what was coming. Orlando City SC has begun 2026 winless and without a draw after three matches. The team lies at the very bottom of MLS East.

Orlando City B put away Chicago Fire II in first of many 2026 winsA number of Orlando City B players made their debut against the Chicago Fire II. They also made an impression as the Lions left the Osceola County Stadium pitch with a 2-1 win. The team is 1-1-0 with this first of many wins in the 2026 season.

One short-term, one returning: Orlando Pride roster loaded for 2026One player entered the squad on a short-term contract. Another player returns from a loan. The Orlando Pride has a fully loaded roster ready to power up the pitch in 2026. Those are the qualities the Orlando Pride looks for, said Caitlin Carducci.

One name gives Orlando City B supporters hope even after a bad resultIn a span of only five minutes, Huntsville City FC went up 2-0 against Orlando City B. Those goals came from Shak Mohammed and Jordan Knight. They were the only ones the opponents would need to win. The name of goalkeeper Javier Otero spells hope.

Talent from near and far moves onto the Orlando City B pitchThe Orlando City B team stood up with the entire organization as signings and acquisitions come on board for development and competition in 2026.

Cyle Larin is leaving Feyenoord... We couldn't, could we?The 30-year-old is set to return to parent club RCD Mallorca before heading out on loan again, reports have indicated.

Answer for Orlando Pride not just about adding players anymoreCertainly, there are new players on the Orlando Pride squad this season. In mid-January, they picked up another goalkeeper, a defender, and two forwards. The NWSL promises tough competition. But everyone agrees - this squad has what it takes win it all.

Orlando Pride loads up for 2026 with young, edge competitorsA flurry of signings has powered up the depth on the Orlando Pride roster. They signed four young players to the goalkeeper, defender, and two forward positions. This instantly positions them for the 2026 season with incredible depth. The squad is ready.

Luis Muriel departs for Atlético JuniorThe 34-year-old has returned to his boyhood club on a two-year deal, bringing to a close an underwhelming stint in Central Florida.

Strong Orlando Pride GM selection comes with a bit of ironyCaitlin Carducci helmed the Kansas City Current as the squad opposed the Pride in their final match before advancing to the championship. She's now the new General Manager and plans to helm the club as they go all the way this season. It's almost ironic.

Surprise defender transactions leave Pride with positive fee balanceSending Emily Sams to Angel City FC yields $650,000 in intraleague transfer funds, which rang three signal bells across the NWSL. The first bell was because this is the second-highest amount in league history, as well as the highest paid for a defender.

It won't be long until Orlando City regret or revel in Kyle Smith's Cincinnati switchThe 33-year-old was free to leave the club upon the expiry of his contract last month, a decision that will soon be judged as either idiotic or inspired.

Nicolás Rodríguez departs for Atlético Nacional on year-long loanThe 21-year-old will spend a season back in his native Colombia after struggling for minutes in Central Florida last time out.

Former Orlando City full-back Kyle Smith joins FC CincinnatiThe 33-year-old returns to his hometown on an initial one-year deal after departing Central Florida in December.

Orlando City confirm acquisition of Maxime Crépeau from Portland TimbersThe 31-year-old arrives in Central Florida having spent two seasons at Providence Park.

These reactions to Carlos Coronel's São Paulo switch suggest Orlando City dodged a bulletThe 29-year-old recently snubbed a move to Central Florida in favour of a return to his native Brazil, but fans of his new club aren't having it.

Orlando City can't let Martín Ojeda leave under any circumstancesA handful of Argentine clubs have joined Palmeiras in the race for the 27-year-old's signature, reports have confirmed.

Rest assured, Maxime Crépeau is no panic buyOrlando City have ended their search for a new goalkeeper just days after Carlos Coronel pulled out of a deal at the eleventh hour, reports have indicated.
