Orlando City SC have clinched an Audi MLS Cup Playoffs berth for a sixth straight season, following New York City FC 's 3-2 win at the New York Red Bulls in Saturday's Hudson River Derby.
A year removed from reaching the Eastern Conference Final, the Lions are seeking their first-ever MLS Cup appearance during head coach Oscar Pareja's sixth season.
Orlando are in the mix for a top-four finish in the Eastern Conference, which would clinch home-field advantage in their Round One Best-of-3 Series. They're in seventh place with four games remaining (51 points; 14W-7L-9D).
