Orlando is no stranger to sports, being home to professional basketball, arena football, soccer, ice hockey, and college football teams. The Orlando Magic, Predators, Orlando City Soccer, UCF Knights, and Solar Bears all call Central Florida home, but there's more to do in the way of sports outside of Orlando's teams. Check out these events, things to do, and restaurants where sports reign supreme. Root for your alma mater at a college football bowl game at Citrus Bowl Stadium. Keep track of your fantasy football league from the comfort of a sports bar as you watch an NFL game with friends. In Orlando, you can participate in your favorite athletic games or watch from the sidelines at these sports events and attractions.
