NYC2 is still No. 1 on the list. MLS Commissioner Garber has made no secret about that, and given the interest in the City – from fans and politicians alike – there's no solid reason to think that they won't be team No. 20.
But Orlando City aren't about to give up. And whether they're 20, 21 or something beyond that, they want to have their spot in MLS signed and sealed by the end of the year.
They aren't shy about saying so, either. Check out this tweet, which comes from OCSC's fan media day:

As always with expansion news, stay tuned.
