Spectator Sports

From the pitch to the stands, soccer has a way of pulling you into the moment

Central Florida is a natural stop for soccer travelers, with a growing lineup of clubs and competitions to follow. See Orlando City Soccer Club and Orlando Pride take the pitch. If you simply love the atmosphere of a match, soccer gives you another way to experience the destination.

Florida sunshine by day. Football under the lights by night

here’s something wonderfully American about building a travel day around football: finding your colors, following the crowd and settling in as the stadium starts to fill. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars bring NFL action to Florida, while the Orlando Storm and Orlando Pirates add another chapter to the local football scene, giving visitors chances to experience the pageantry, rivalries, and traditions that make game day an attraction all its own.

Cold ice. Hot competition. Very Florida

Florida may be famous for sunshine, but there’s no shortage of cool when the Orlando Solar Bears take the ice. Expect fast breaks, big hits, flying pucks and an electric crowd as professional hockey brings a decidedly different kind of energy to a Florida night. Grab a seat, pick a side, and prepare to get invested.

High-flying action meets serious athleticism

Get ready for powerful serves, lightning-fast rallies and momentum that can turn on a single point. The Orlando Valkyries bring professional women’s volleyball to Central Florida, giving visitors a chance to see elite athletes compete at full force. It’s an energetic addition to any itinerary, especially when your travel crew likes its sports with a little extra adrenaline.

Fast breaks, big shots and plenty of reasons to get loud

Central Florida brings plenty of energy to the hardwood. Catch the Orlando Magic for NBA action or cheer on the Osceola Magic for high-level basketball closer to Kissimmee. From buzzer-beaters to full-volume crowds, basketball makes an easy addition to a night out when you’re ready to trade the theme parks for the court.
