Charlotte

Charlotte FC are one of Major League Soccer's newest and most immediately impactful clubs, a franchise representing the Queen City of North Carolina that made headlines from the moment they arrived. Joining MLS as the league's 28th franchise in 2022, their home debut at Bank of America Stadium drew 74,479 fans, at the time the largest single-game crowd in MLS history. Charlotte FC quickly established themselves as one of the most passionately supported clubs in American soccer, building a genuine connection with a city hungry for top-level football.

Charlotte FC were awarded their expansion franchise in December 2019 and began play in the 2022 MLS season, based in Charlotte, North Carolina. They play at Bank of America Stadium, shared with the NFL's Carolina Panthers, and compete in the MLS Eastern Conference. The club's crest draws on Charlotte's history as the Queen City and its heritage as a mint city.

Adidas supply Charlotte FC as part of MLS's broad kit partnership, producing the blue kits that have defined the club's visual identity from day one. The inaugural Carolina kit of 2022 introduced the club's colours and crown motifs to a fanbase who packed Bank of America Stadium from the start. Heritage kits and special editions since have reflected the civic pride at the heart of a club that arrived in MLS and immediately felt like it belonged.
