Major League Soccer will be entering its 20th season of existence in 2015. During the upcoming season MLS will introduce two expansion teams, Orlando City Soccer Club and New York City FC. Those two clubs will play each other on the opening weekend. The meeting between the two expansion teams will be historic both on and off the field.
The game will be the first MLS game to be broadcast on Sky Sports in the UK. The game will kickoff the first of a four-year deal between the league and the network. This will be one of the biggest games of the MLS season with a crowd of 60,000 expected at the Citrus Bowl.
