The 2016 Orlando City SC season was 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 began play in the 2016 season at Eastern Florida State College's Melbourne campus.[4]

On January 13, 2016, Orlando City announced that they would play the entire 2016 season at Camping World Stadium. They had hoped to move into Orlando City Stadium in September but construction delays made that impossible. The team instead moved in 2017.[5]

    CONCACAF Champions League
    Selection Procedure
    • Four US-based teams qualify for the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League:
      1. The winner of the MLS Cup 2016 (Seattle Sounders FC);
      2. The winner of the Supporters' Shield (FC Dallas);
      3. The regular season conference champion that did not win the Supporters Shield (New York Red Bulls);
      4. The winner of the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (FC Dallas; already qualified, so berth passes to Colorado Rapids)
      Should a team qualify through more than one method, or should a team from Canada occupy any MLS qualifying place, the next best US team in the overall table would take its place.
      One Canada-based team qualifies for the Champions League (NOTE: Canadian teams cannot qualify through MLS):
      1. The winner of the 2016 and 2017 Canadian Championship (Toronto FC)

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.[6] Although The Villages SC won the match on penalty shootout, they were subsequently disqualified for fielding an ineligible player.[7] Jacksonville Armada ultimately won the third round matchup, setting up a match in Jacksonville against Orlando City, a rematch of their preseason match.[8]

Notable Events

On April 26, 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.[29]

Adrian Heath was sacked by Orlando City on July 7, 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 19.[30]

On October 2, the Lions were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs with a 1–0 loss at Montreal.[31]

The season ended on October 23, in the final game at Camping World Stadium, with a 4–2 win against D.C. United.[31]

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.[32]

On the radio, matches will air on WTKS-FM "Real Radio 104.1" in English,[33] 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.[34]

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.[35]
