Where to stay near Exploria Stadium, now Inter&Co Stadium: downtown Orlando hotels within walking distance, SunRail and parking tips for Orlando City and Pride games.
Exploria Stadium is the soccer-specific stadium at 655 West Church Street, just west of downtown Orlando. It opened on February 24, 2017, holds 25,500 fans and is home to Orlando City SC of Major League Soccer and the Orlando Pride of the National Women's Soccer League. The stadium has since been renamed Inter&Co Stadium under a naming-rights deal with the Brazil-based financial company Inter&Co, but plenty of locals and search results still call it Exploria.
For a match, the best move is a downtown hotel you can walk from. Several are within about a mile of the gates, SunRail's Church Street Station is an 8-minute walk, and you skip the scramble for event parking. If your trip is mostly about the theme parks, you can still come in for a game from International Drive or Kissimmee, but plan for a 20 to 30 minute drive or rideshare each way.

Each area has trade-offs. Here is how they compare.
About a 10 to 25 minute walk to the stadium
Downtown's hotels sit east of the stadium around Church Street, Orange Avenue and Lake Eola. After the final whistle you walk back through the bars and restaurants on Church Street and Orange Avenue instead of sitting in garage traffic.
About 20 to 30 minutes by car
If the match is one night of a theme park vacation, stay near the parks and drive or rideshare in. Leave early; downtown traffic builds before kickoff.
Train to Church Street Station, then an 8-minute walk
SunRail runs north and south through Orlando with a stop at Church Street, about 700 meters from the stadium. A hotel near a SunRail station lets you skip driving downtown altogether, as long as the train schedule fits your match time.
Compare live rates for your dates on each hotel before you book.

Church Street Station is about 700 meters from the stadium, an 8-minute walk. It is also a short walk from the Kia Center, so the same stop works for Orlando Magic and Solar Bears games.
There is little on-site parking. Fans use paid downtown garages, such as the garages on Church Street and Pine Street, and team-run lots nearby. Staying downtown and walking avoids the whole problem.
Exploria Stadium, Orlando City Stadium and Inter&Co Stadium are all the same venue at 655 West Church Street. Your tickets may show the newer name.
Church Street and Orange Avenue are packed with bars and restaurants within walking distance of the stadium, and Lake Eola Park is a short walk east.
