Orlando City’s schedule just got weird. Major League Soccer announced the league alignment and schedule structure for 2020 and the big news is that Inter Miami will join the Eastern Conference for 2020, with Nashville SC slotted into the Western Conference (yes, seriously). It’s likely a one-year shift for the Tennessee-based club with Austin entering in 2021, but it’ll be odd having the team in the West despite it being further east than Chicago.
And, as a result, the Lions might not even play Nashville in 2020. With the league keeping a 34-game schedule for next season, every team will play each conference opponent twice (home and away, making up 24 of the 34 matches on the schedule).
