Orlando City SC will host the New England Revolution in its final 2026 Major League Soccer regular-season match, with playoff seeding in the final standings at stake. David Brekalo returns to Orlando City’s starting lineup after missing the previous match because of yellow-card accumulation. The match is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET and will be available on Apple TV.
Brekalo replaces Iago, who misses the match because of yellow-card accumulation. Eduard Atuesta also returns to the starting rotation in place of Luís Otávio, who is available on the bench. Those changes give Orlando City two adjustments from its previous starting group.
Orlando City’s starting lineup is Maxime Crépeau, Zakaria Taifi, David Brekalo, Wilder Cartagena, Vinicius Nogueira, Marco Pašalić, Eduard Atuesta, Braian Ojeda, Iván Angulo, Martín Ojeda and Antoine Griezmann. Martín Ojeda is listed as the captain. The group will face New England in Orlando, Fla., to close the regular season.
Griffin Dorsey returns to the bench after not playing since Sept. 9 because of an injury. Dorsey replaces Nolan Miller among the substitutes. The rest of Orlando City’s bench is Javier Otero, Daryl Dike, Justin Ellis, Joran Gerbet, Adrián Marín, Luís Otávio, Harvey Sarajian and Tiago.
FSB Take
Orlando City’s final regular-season lineup reflects both disciplinary absences and the return of players to the matchday group. Brekalo is back in the starting XI, while Atuesta replaces Luís Otávio and Dorsey provides another option from the bench. With playoff seeding on the line, those personnel changes will shape Orlando City’s available options against New England.
