Leagues Charlotte has participated in
Charlotte’s recorded competition profile is led by Major League Soccer, with participation recorded from 2022 through 2026 and recent activity continuing into the 2026 season. The club also has entries in the U.S. Open Cup and Leagues Cup from 2022 and 2023 respectively through 2025, making those records historical in the available record. Club friendlies are recorded from 2022 through 2025 and are likewise historical in this view.

More about Charlotte
Charlotte is the professional football club representing Charlotte, North Carolina, and is commonly known as Charlotte FC. The club was founded in 2019 as Major League Soccer’s 30th franchise and began competitive play in 2022. Its identity is closely tied to the Queen City, a connection expressed through the circular crest and its four-pointed crown. Carolina blue is the signature visual color, supported by black, white or silver accents across the club’s broader visual language. Home matches are staged at Bank of America Stadium in Uptown Charlotte. The open-air venue is shared with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers and gives the club a central urban setting with a large-event atmosphere. That location has helped shape a matchday culture built around regional identity, supporter gatherings and the Crown motif. Charlotte’s football presence also sits within a wider development structure that includes Crown Legacy FC and a youth academy pathway. Charlotte competes in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference and has recorded participation in the U.S. Open Cup and Leagues Cup, alongside club friendlies. This places the team within the interconnected North American football ecosystem, where domestic league fixtures sit alongside national cup and cross-league competition. The club’s roster combines international players, domestic MLS experience and developing talent, reflecting the league’s blend of established professionals and academy-linked prospects. The club is part of Tepper Sports & Entertainment and is owned by David Tepper, who also owns the Carolina Panthers. That shared ownership connects Charlotte’s football operation with one of the region’s most prominent professional sports organizations, while the stadium relationship reinforces the club’s place in the city’s major-event landscape. Charlotte’s recorded first-team profile includes 27 players and Dean Smith as head coach, with the club’s recent history still defined by its rapid rise from 2019 expansion awardee to an established MLS participant.
