Charlotte FC is preparing to conclude the 2024 regular season with a match against D.C. United on Decision Day, Sunday, October 18th. The team has already secured a spot in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs for the second consecutive year. However, several scenarios remain that could influence their position in the postseason.
The Eastern Conference matches will begin simultaneously at 6 p.m. ET on Decision Day. Currently, D.C. United is ranked eighth and is striving to secure a place in the Wild Card match.
Charlotte FC's final standing could range from fifth to seventh in the Eastern Conference, which will determine their opponent in Round One of the MLS Cup Playoffs. The top three positions have been claimed by Miami, Columbus, and Cincinnati.
Charlotte FC aims to control its destiny by securing a win and earning three points against D.C. United. A home playoff match is guaranteed for Charlotte, but its date remains undecided until after Decision Day results are finalized.
The home playoff match for Charlotte FC will occur between November 1st and 5th as part of Match 2 of Round One. The dates for Matches 1 and potentially Match 3 of the best-of-three series are still pending based on seeding outcomes.
A strong performance against D.C. United could enhance Charlotte FC's chances in various MLS Awards campaigns this year.
