Stats & Storylines
- Orlando City has clinched a playoff berth for the seventh consecutive season, the longest active streak of any MLS club. The Lions can finish anywhere from seventh to ninth in the Eastern Conference depending on Decision Day results.Â
- In order to climb to seventh and avoid the Wild Card Match, Orlando City needs a win against New England, a Cincinnati loss to Nashville, and a Columbus loss or draw in Chicago.

Meet the opponent: New England Revolution
- Orlando City’s six-game unbeaten run against the Revs came to an end on September 19. The Lions fought back from a 2-0 deficit to level the game late, only to see New England score twice in second half stoppage time.
- The Revolution took a hard-luck 2-1 loss to Inter Miami last weekend, dropping a point behind the Herons to third in the Eastern Conference table. New England can still move up to the 2-seed if it betters Miami’s result on Decision Day. Miami is home to Charlotte.
- Carles Gil continues to be a thorn in Orlando’s side. The New England playmaker and former Landon Donovan MLS MVP had 2g/1a against the Lions in September, bringing him to 9g/9a in all competitions against Orlando City for his career. Gil was helped in the effort by teenage phenom Peyton Miller, who scored New England’s second and third goals on the night. Miller is up to 7g/9a in a breakout 2026 MLS campaign and just recently made his debut for the U.S. men’s national team.
- MartÃn Ojeda has enjoyed tons of success against New England over the years, racking up 6g/2a in just seven MLS matches against the Revs. Ojeda had a hat trick in Orlando’s most recent home game against New England last May.
