Competitions edit

MLS Next Pro edit

For the 2022 season, MLS Next Pro is split into four divisions across two conferences. Orlando were placed in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference. In total, eight teams will qualify for the playoffs: the four divisional winners plus the two teams with the next most points in each conference. In the event a match is tied after 90 minutes, each team will receive a single point with an additional bonus point awarded to the winner of a penalty shootout.[3]
