Major League Soccer will open its World Cup-style return tournament in Florida on July 8 with a double header. Orlando City will play expansion Inter Miami in the first match, followed by a game between the Chicago Fire and Nashville SC.
The games will be the first time the league has been in action since play was shut down on March 12 because of the coronavirus.
The all-Florida opener is a nod to the tournament’s host state. All games will be played without fans in attendance at the sports complex at Walt Disney World.The league released the schedule Wednesday, the first day teams could arrive at the complex near Orlando for the tournament.
