Charlotte FC history

David Tepper, who also owns the Panthers, was handed the MLS expansion rights on December 17, 2019. The new club, officially Charlotte Football Club, joined as the league's 28th franchise and kicked off in the 2022 season. It competes in the Eastern Conference.

Sharing a football stadium has a practical twist. For most soccer matches, capacity at Bank of America Stadium is cut down to 38,000, which keeps the crowd tighter and closer to the field. With only a few seasons played, the club is still building its record book, and the MLS Cup count stands at zero. Having one owner for both the soccer side and the NFL tenant means the two teams work out of the same home, so game days for both clubs run out of one building.
