For the third-consecutive season, the Orlando Pride will open their National Women’s Soccer League campaign at home, the team announced on Feb. 19. Orlando will host Sky Blue FC on April 19 at Exploria Stadium.
Immediately after facing Sky Blue at home, Orlando will embark on its first road trip to face the Utah Royals in their home-opener on April 24.
Orlando previously hosted Utah to open the 2018 season, drawing 1-1. In 2019, Portland Thorns FC shut out Orlando 2-0 to open the season. This will be the first time the Pride open their season against Sky Blue. In total, Orlando holds a 3-1-1 record at home against the New Jersey side, winning 1-0 at home on July 20, 2019, and drawing 1-1 on Sept. 29, 2019 last season.
Times and a full schedule will be announced “at a later date,” per the team’s release.
