Antoine Griezmann’s sensational start to life in MLS has earned him another individual accolade.
The Orlando City forward has been named MLS Player of the Month for October/November 2026, helping power the Lions' late-season push into the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.
Griezmann tied for the league lead with six goals and 10 goal contributions across seven starts during the award period, joining Inter Miami CF stars Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez as the only players to record at least 4g/4a.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner did all that damage during a five-match stretch from Oct. 10-28, extending his streak of consecutive games with a goal contribution to 12. That marked just the fourth time in MLS history a player has recorded a goal or assist in 12 straight matches during a single season.
The Frenchman's torrid run included 1g/1a performances against Columbus Crew and Toronto FC, followed by a 2g/1a showing against D.C. United on Oct. 17, earning him Player of the Matchday presented by Michelob ULTRA honors. He also found the scoresheet against New York City FC and Chicago Fire FC.
Since arriving in Orlando over the summer, Griezmann has amassed 14g/8a in 18 starts, becoming the first summer acquisition in league history to record at least 20 goal contributions during the second half of a club’s regular-season schedule.
With Griezmann leading the charge, Orlando climbed from outside the playoff picture to the Eastern Conference’s No. 8 seed (46 points). The Lions will host FC Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference Wild Card match on Nov. 19 at Inter&Co Stadium (7:30 pm ET | Apple TV).
MLS Player of the Month is voted on by a panel of select national media members in a process conducted by MLS Communications.
