Orlando City to Host Real Salt Lake in 2020 MLS Season Opener on February 29

ORLANDO, Fla. (Dec. 5, 2019) - Orlando City SC opens its 2020 Major League Soccer campaign presented by Orlando Health on Saturday, February 29, at Exploria Stadium. The Oscar Pareja era will begin with the Lions kicking off its sixth-consecutive season opener presented by Orlando Health by playing host to Western Conference opponent Real Salt Lake at 6 p.m. ET. 


An exclusive presale opportunity will begin for Season Ticket Members at 10 a.m. ET on Friday, December 6.

2020 will mark the second time in the Club’s short history that they begin a season against the Claret and Cobalt. In 2016, the two sides battled to a 2-2 draw at Camping World Stadium with the Lions scoring two goals in second-half stoppage time for a thrilling comeback in front of 60,147 fans. 


Under the new guidance of Pareja, Orlando will look to remain undefeated in season openers. The Club has compiled a 1-0-4 all-time record in debut games, most recently drawing NYCFC 2-2 on March 2, 2019. 


The Lions will begin the 2020 season with back-to-back matches against Western Conference foes, traveling to face the Colorado Rapids on Saturday, March 7 in the Rapids home opener. That match will kickoff at 9 p.m. ET. 


To celebrate and lead-up to the 2020 home opener, Orlando City will once again be hosting a series of fan-centric events in the annual Kickoff to Soccer. Details on those events will be announced at a future date.
