Yankee Stadium is all set to host the Florida outfit.

The Major League Soccer 2025 fixtures this time take us to the Yankee Stadium where New York City are set to host Orlando City FC.

New York City FC find themselves in 10th place in the Major League Soccer standings, still searching for their first win of the campaign. With one draw and one loss from their opening two fixtures, their most recent outing saw them suffer a narrow 1-0 defeat to Los Angeles FC, courtesy of Ryan Hollingshead’s late strike in the 86th minute. The team’s attacking struggles have been evident, and they will be desperate to turn their fortunes around.

As they prepare to host Orlando City FC in their upcoming home fixture, New York City FC will be aiming to capitalize on their home advantage and secure a much-needed victory. With the season still in its early stages, they will likely push to regroup, tighten their defense and sharpen their attacking play. A win could not only lift their position on the table but also reignite the confidence within the team as they push for a stronger run in the league.

Orlando City FC have had a mixed start to their Major League Soccer campaign, winning one and losing one in their two matches so far. Their season opened with a disappointing 4-2 defeat against Philadelphia, but they quickly bounced back by defeating Toronto FC with the same 4-2 scoreline in their most recent outing. The attacking prowess they showcased against Toronto will be something they hope to carry forward as they aim to build momentum.

As they prepare to face New York City FC, Orlando will be eager to secure back-to-back wins and climb higher in the standings. With their attack finding form, they will look to tighten the defensive gaps exposed in their opening match. A strong showing against NYCFC could solidify their push for early-season consistency and set the tone for the matches ahead.

Players to watch out for:

Alonso Martinez (New York City FC)

Alonso Martinez, the 26-year-old Costa Rican centre-forward from Puntarenas, has established himself as a key figure for New York City FC since joining in 2023. With 29 appearances and 16 goals to his name, Martinez has proven to be a clinical finisher and a vital attacking asset for the team. His sharp movement and goal-scoring instincts have often provided NYCFC with the edge in crucial moments.

Beyond club football, Martínez has also made a mark on the international stage, earning 17 caps for the Costa Rican national team. His ability to perform consistently for both club and country highlights his growing reputation as a dependable forward. As NYCFC prepare for their upcoming clash against Orlando City FC, much will rest on Martínez’s shoulders to inspire his side and potentially guide them to their first win of the season.

Ivan Angulo (Orlando)

Ivan Angulo, the 25-year-old Colombian winger from Tumaco, has steadily risen through the ranks, having previously played for Palmeiras and Orlando City’s reserve team before earning his place in the senior squad in 2024. Since his promotion, Angulo has made 36 appearances and netted five goals, showcasing his pace, flair and creativity on the flanks for Orlando City FC.

On the international front, Angulo has also left his mark, representing Colombia’s under-20 and under-23 teams with distinction. Notably, he was part of the Orlando City FC squad that clinched the US Open Cup in 2022. As Orlando City prepare to face New York City FC, Angulo’s dynamism could be pivotal in helping his team build on their recent victory and maintain their momentum.
