Storm Move June 7 Playoff Game to Columbus — Soccer Game

The Orlando Storm’s June 7 soccer game will be played at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, after Inter&Co Stadium became unavailable because of prior commitments tied to an international soccer match. The move turns what would have been a home playoff date into a neutral-site game for Orlando.

Historic Crew Stadium

The Storm will play at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 7. The venue switch gives Orlando a postseason home game in name only, with the matchup shifted away from its usual stadium and into Columbus for the 4-team UFL Playoffs.

That decision came on May 29, when the league laid out both semifinal sites for June 7. The Battlehawks will host the other playoff game at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis at 5 p.m. CT, while the Storm’s game was moved after Inter&Co Stadium was ruled unavailable.

Battlehawks and Orlando

St. Louis enters the final week of the regular season with a 6-3 record and can earn the No. 1 seed with a win and an Orlando loss this weekend. The Battlehawks secured their playoff berth in Week 9 after a 21-15 victory over the Houston Gamblers.

Orlando earned its chance to host in Week 9 after beating the DC Defenders, putting the Storm in position to stage a postseason game before the venue change sent that date to Columbus. The league’s full playoff slate will be televised nationally on ABC at 2 p.m. CT and FOX at 5 p.m. CT.

United Bowl at Audi Field

The winners advance toward the 2026 United Bowl presented by Credit One, scheduled for Saturday, June 13 at Audi Field in Washington, D.C. For Orlando, the immediate shift is simpler: preparation stays on the same playoff week, but the setting changes from its own stadium to Historic Crew Stadium.
