The MLS is Back Tournament is set to kick off on Wednesday, July 8 in Orlando, Florida with a meeting between Orlando City and Inter Miami as the league returns from its temporary hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.

FC Dallas, however, withdrew from the tournament.
Group play will run through July 23.
The final match will be played on August 11 and the prize pool for the tournament is $1.1 million.
