Florida Sports Blog's Pro Sports hub covers the state's major professional franchises across the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS and NWSL. Use this section for breaking news, game coverage, roster movement, injuries, schedules, postseason races, prospect development and franchise features, with affiliate systems nested beneath their Florida parent clubs where appropriate. Florida's modern major-professional era began with the Miami Dolphins in 1966 and expanded rapidly from the late 1980s through the 1990s with the Heat, Magic, Lightning, Marlins, Panthers, Jaguars and Rays. Soccer added another major chapter with Orlando City entering MLS in 2015, the Orlando Pride beginning NWSL play in 2016 and Inter Miami CF starting MLS competition in 2020. Together, those franchises have produced championship runs across football, basketball, hockey, baseball and soccer and helped turn Florida into one of the country's deepest multi-sport markets.
