Charlotte FC News Release


If it wasn't feeling real already, it certainly does now with the full schedule release of Charlotte FC's inaugural season. Every game in the 2022 season will be a first for both the Club and fans, but there are some particular matches that will hold extra meaning.

Here are the six must-watch home matches you can't miss in the upcoming 2022 Charlotte FC season:

LA Galaxy

When: March 5th

Without a doubt, if there is one match that you NEED to be at, it is the inaugural home opener versus the LA Galaxy.

At home, primetime on a Saturday night, and against the most iconic MLS team in history, the stage couldn't be brighter. It will be Charlotte's first opportunity to show the league what they're all about as a Club and fanbase.

Atlanta United

When: March 13th and April 9th

Charlotte fans won't have to wait long to watch their team play against the city to the South. CLTFC fans have already made it known they are looking forward to matching up with Atlanta.

Charlotte will be the first to go into enemy territory in their third ever-game of their inaugural season.

Both home and away editions of this game will be unforgettable.

New England Revolution

When: March 19th

Less than a week after, Charlotte will host the record-breaking Supporter's Shield winners, the New England Revolution. It will be a tough test early on for Charlotte FC but a good challenge.

It will be a battle of the coaches with Charlotte FC Head Coach Miguel Ramírez matching up against legendary MLS and former United States Men's National team coach, Bruce Arena.

FC Cincinnati

When: March 26th

There can only be one Queen City. The self-proclaimed other "Queen City", FC Cincinnati, will look to try to settle this debate on the pitch.

Charlotte FC will look to defend their crown against the imposters in their castle known as Bank of America Stadium.

Nashville

When: July 9th

Rivalries will always arise for geographic reasons and Nashville is the second-closest MLS team to Charlotte FC. Our neighbors are competing in the Western Conference, but that won't change anything when the teams meet.

Nashville will be going into their 3rd year of existence and have proven many early doubters wrong by being one of the toughest teams to beat in the league. Charlotte FC comes into the league with a similar chip on their shoulder and will look to prove a point to the league against their rivals in the West.

New York City FC

When: September 10th

You can't make a list like this without including the reigning MLS Champions. NYCFC beat the Portland Timbers to win their first-ever MLS Cup just four days ago.

And they won't be slowing down in the upcoming season. Charlotte will have chance to test their mettle against the champs at home in the latter part of the season.

Being a fan of an inaugural team is something that most people in their lifetime will never have a chance to experience. In an inaugural season, every game is a first, every game is historic. Don't miss out on being a part of history.
