Orlando Pride News Release


ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Pride today announced the full lineup of its 2026 Kickoff to Soccer events, offering fans a variety of opportunities to engage with the team ahead of the Pride's home opener, presented by Orlando Health, on March 15 at 4 p.m. ET at Inter&Co Stadium.

This year's schedule features both returning traditions and new fan experiences, highlighted by player appearances, the unveiling of the Club's new secondary kit and the latest edition of Scarf the City, presented by Pepsi, the annual city-wide scavenger hunt that will place more than 3,000 Pride scarves across locations throughout Central Florida.

The festivities begin on Feb. 17 with Pour Overs With Pride at Qreate Coffee Creative Village, where Pride players will serve as baristas for the morning. The Club's newly launched pop-up bar, The Final Whistle at Thorton Park Pub, will then host the official jersey launch party and Pints With Pride, as part of the bar's rolling slate of Orlando Pride-themed events. Open exclusively throughout the months of February and March leading up to the Pride's home opener, the Final Whistle brings fans closer to the Club through an immersive experience featuring club memorabilia and team-inspired food and drinks.

"Kickoff to Soccer has always been about celebrating our connection with the community," said Jarrod Dillon, President of Business Operations for Orlando Pride. "These events give our fans meaningful opportunities to engage with our players and with each other, and they set the tone for what we expect to be an exciting season on and off the field."
