On Friday, the Florida Department of Transportation and the Orlando Magic announced a new partnership that will add extended service on SunRail on weeknights that the Magic have home games.

Magic ticket holders can ride the southbound “late train” SunRail for free to and from games. Magic ticket holders can show either their hard copy or electronic tickets to SunRail conductors to access the free ride.

“SunRail is excited for the opportunity to partner with the Magic for this initiative,” SunRail Chief Operations Officer Charles “Mike” Heffinger said in a news release. “With SunRail’s Church Street Station stop being literally steps away from the entrance to the Amway Center, choosing the train offers fans convenience and skips the stress of finding and paying for parking.”

The Train-To-The-Game promotion begins Monday when the Magic host the Portland Trail Blazers.

“We are thrilled to partner with FDOT to offer fans easier access to Magic games,” Magic Senior Vice President of Marketing and Social Responsibility Shelly Wilkes said in the news release. “The Magic strive to create legendary moments and our customer experience is a top priority in making that a reality. We hope fans attending our games will take advantage of this great SunRail opportunity.”

The promotion runs a total of 14 additional game nights for all remaining weekday home games in the 2021-2022 season.

Masks are required on board trains.
