Charlotte FC Rivalries
Charlotte FC is one of the MLS’s youngest teams, but they’ve already set to work building rivalries with nearby clubs in the Southeast. Here are two of their most prominent rivalries.
Charlotte FC vs. Atlanta United
This rivalry, known as the I-85 Derby, is fueled by geographic proximity and regional pride, with both teams located in the southeastern United States. Matches between Charlotte and Atlanta United have been highly competitive, with Charlotte managing to win several key encounters since their debut in MLS, which has added intensity to the budding rivalry.
Charlotte FC vs. Nashville SC
Another fierce rival, Nashville SC, shares a southern identity with Charlotte FC, and their matchups have quickly gained significance in the Eastern Conference. The competition between these two southern clubs is enhanced by their close proximity and the growing rivalry for dominance in the region
Charlotte FC won’t face either of these rivals again during the 2024 MLS regular season.
