The 2023 Charlotte FC season was the club's second season in Major League Soccer, the top division of soccer in the United States. The team was coached by Christian Lattanzio, who took over as interim manager during the inaugural season and became permanent head coach in October 2022. Charlotte FC earned their first MLS Cup Playoffs berth in team history, but lost in the wild card round to the New York Red Bulls. Lattanzio was fired at the end of the season.[2][3]
