The 2016 Orlando City SC season is the club's sixth season of existence in Orlando, and second season in Major League Soccer, the top-flight league in the United States soccer league system.

Background

On July 15, 2015, Orlando City opened an additional 4,000 seats for sale to potential season ticket holders, bringing the total available season tickets to 18,000.[1] The extra allotment sold out on August 18, 2015.[2] Season tickets are again sold out for the 2016 season.[3]

On October 15, 2015, Orlando City announced that they would field an owned-and-operated team in the United Soccer League, Orlando City B. The team will begin play in the 2016 season at Eastern Florida State College's Melbourne campus.[4]

On January 13, 2016, Orlando City accounced that they would play the entire 2016 season at Camping World Stadium. They had hoped to move into their new soccer-specific stadium in September, but construction delays made that impossible. The team will instead move in 2017.[5]

On May 21, 2016, Orlando City was drawn to face the winner of the third round match between Jacksonville Armada FC, and the winner of the second round match between The Villages SC and Charleston Battery.[27] Although The Villages SC won the match on penalty shootout, they were subsequently disqualified for fielding an ineligible player.[28] Jacksonville Armada ultimately won the third round matchup, setting up a match in Jacksonville against Orlando City, a rematch of their preseason match.[29]

Notable Events

On April 26th, 2016, Florida Citrus Sports announced that they had sold naming rights for the stadium to Camping World. Camping World would also be the presenting sponsor of the stadium's college football kickoff series for at least its first four years, through 2019.[30]

Adrian Heath was sacked by Orlando City on July 7th, 2016, following a 4–0 defeat against FC Dallas. Bobby Murphy was the interim head coach until the hiring of former NYCFC manager Jason Kreis on July 19th.[31]

On October 2nd, the Lions were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs with a 1-0 loss at Montreal.[32]

Media

Any matches that are not featured in the MLS national television package on either ESPN2, Fox Sports 1 or UniMás will air locally on WRDQ 27. Jeff Radcliffe will call play-by-play, with Lewis Neal providing color commentary. They will also air pregame and postgame shows for each match, and a weekly highlight show. They are working on affiliate agreements to air matches out-of-market.[33]

On the radio, matches will air on WTKS-FM "Real Radio 104.1" in English,[34] with Tom Traxler and Adam Schick providing the call. When City is on a nationally-televised match, Jeff Radcliffe will call the match on WTKS with Tom Traxler. Matches will also air on WONQ "La Grande 1030" in Spanish. The Spanish play-by-play announcer is Israel Herredia, with color commentary by Sergio Ruiz. The Spanish radio feed will be used as the SAP Spanish feed on Fox Sports Florida and Sun Sports.[35]

Orlando City will black out matches not on the MLS national television package on MLS Live this season. Local fans will be unable to watch locally televised matches via live stream during the matches, though they will become available immediately upon completion.[36]
