Atlanta United will face Orlando City SC in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs. The match is scheduled for Sunday, November 24, at Inter&Co Stadium with a kickoff time of 3:30 p.m.

Atlanta United has reached the semifinals following an unexpected journey that began in Orlando on Decision Day. On October 19, they secured their playoff spot by defeating Orlando City 2-1 at Inter&Co Stadium. Their playoff run continued with a penalty shootout victory over CF Montréal in the Wild Card game and an upset against top-seeded Inter Miami CF in the Round One Best-of-3 Series. This series of victories has been described as "the greatest upset in MLS history."

Orlando City finished fourth in the regular season standings of the MLS Eastern Conference, allowing them to skip one round and secure home-field advantage. In their Round One Best-of-3 Series against Charlotte FC, both teams won one game each, leading to a decisive Game 3 that was settled by penalties in favor of Orlando.

The gap between Game 3 of the Round One matches and the conference semifinals is due to the FIFA international break from November 11-19.

Match Details:

Date: Sunday, Nov. 24
