One of our absolute faves returns to Soccer City for the first time this season!

Apple TV host Kevin Egan has seen Charlotte FC get 1 goal and 0 points from 2 games in 2026...but he's not pushing the panic button yet! Kev gives DannyBrams some reassurance about Wilfried Zaha's contract situation, The Crown's backline blunders, and how Dean Smith can make all the pieces fit...and on top of it all he's got an Austin FC scouting report for us this weekend.

The home opener is just a few days away, and it's For the Crown, Baby!

Don't look now but Charlotte's only professional women's sports team is in playoff position with just 10 games left to go in the USL Super League Season.

Coach Phillip Poole and newly-signed Striker Ava Cook take a trip to Soccer City to talk about Year 2 in the brand new league, adapting to Charlotte after moving here from the frozen north, and how the Queen City can support the club as it enters the home stretch of the season...and you may be surprised at the factoids Coach has to share that show just how successful this brand new franchise has already been in the Carolinas.

It's time to Join the Climb, Baby!

It's the Morning After a dismal performance by Charlotte FC...so why is Johnny Hayes smiling??

Get your a.m. coffee (or bourbon!) and hang with John & Danny Brams as they look back at the tough loss, resetting expectations for the season, and most importantly...who to blame!

Dean Smith and Ashley Westwood also check in as we contemplate silver linings, big picture concerns, and what needs to change immediately before the Crown's home opener vs Austin FC next Saturday.

It's the best way to shake off a sad night and it's always For the Crown, Baby!

With just a few days to go before Charlotte FC kicks off the 2026 MLS season for the entire league out in St. Louis, we welcome back Andrew Wiebe to Soccer City!

While he freely admits that preseason prognostication is a fool's game in this league, Andrew does offer up some tasty takes on how Luca de la Torre reshapes the Charlotte Midfield, why there's no urgency just yet when it comes to Wilf Zaha's contract situation, and why Nathan Byrne might be the most underrated player in all of MLS.

We might've even squeezed out an answer to the question of "How far can Charlotte FC go in 2026?"

We're so so so so close, folks, and we're always For the Crown, Baby!

Wilfried Zaha met the media with just a handful of weeks to go before the 2026 MLS season kicks off. Danny Brams fires up the ol' Livestream to break down what he heard from the superstar winger looking to take The Crown to it's best finish ever in season five as a franchise.

Charlotte FC's biggest signing of the offseason (so far?) is versatile midfielder Luca de la Torre, a veteran of Fulham, Celta Vigo, the USMNT, and most recently, San Diego FC.

Danny Brams sits down with Tony Sanchez from SanDiego.futbol for inside info on what kind of player CLT fans can expect to see, why Luca's mindset is especially valuable for a club like ours, and why anyone would ever leave the tropical paradise that is San Diego, California.

It's for the Crown, Baby!

It may've been freezing cold out but that didn't stop Charlotte FC captain Ashley Westwood from his appointed rounds meeting with local journalists and podcasters as the Crown opens its 2026 campaign.
