Charlotte FC's 2024 schedule was released. Here's what is new next season

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — For the Crown!

After Major League Soccer released the full season schedule for 2024, it's apparent Charlotte FC has a few doozy matches next season.

The 2024 season opens Saturday, Feb. 24. Charlotte FC's home opener will be that day at 7:30 p.m. against New York City FC. The upper bowl will be opened up again for fans, with tickets currently selling for $15.

Charlotte FC gets to face two new opponents: Portland Timbers (5/4) and Minnesota United (4/20), both of which will be played at home. 

MLS has a Rivalry Week that runs from May 11-18, 2024. Charlotte FC will play Nashville SC on May 11 at home, then will travel to play Chicago Fire FC on May 15 before returning to play a home match against LA Galaxy on May 18.

You can stream WCNC Charlotte on Roku, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV, just download the free app.

Another notable match will be when Charlotte FC travels to D.C. United on Oct. 19, which is Decision Day for the MLS. For those who don't keep up with soccer, Decision Day is the end of the regular season, which means it could be make-or-break for playoff contention.
