Stian Gregersen and Dax McCarty shared their thoughts on preparing for this crucial match, stating, “You just hope our young guys and the players that are a core part of this team, that are going to be here for years to come, realize how special moments like this can be.”

The game is scheduled for Sunday, November 24, 2024, at 3:30 p.m. Fans can watch the match on Apple TV's MLS Season Pass or listen via radio stations 92.9 The Game (English) and La Mejor (Spanish). For those traveling to Orlando or watching from home, additional coverage and updates will be available through real-time stats and play-by-play on the Matchday Hub Page.

The format for this round is a single-elimination match with Orlando City as the higher seed hosting.

The winner will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals to face either New York Red Bulls or New York City FC.
