Orlando City Schedule Breakdown: September/October

9/14 vs. Atlanta United, 6 p.m. ESPN+

Final of two games against Atlanta United. I went to the Orlando City-Atlanta United Open Cup game back in 2019, and the atmosphere for that game, a cup match with a mostly empty stadium (sans the wall) was INTENSE. With how good both teams are now, I expect this game to reach similar levels of intensity. Hopefully Orlando supporters will pack the stadium and create a legendary atmosphere for this rivalry showdown. Atlanta brings in a whole host of stars, led by a now-healthy Josef Martinez and record-signing Thiago Almada.
