This was OCB's final season in the second tier of American soccer as at the end of the year OCB's MLS parent club, Orlando City SC, announced that their USL affiliate would not participate in the 2018 USL season.[1] The team would later announce their intention to become a founding member of the new third-tier USL League One in 2019.[2]
