How to watch today's Charlotte vs New York City FC MLS game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Charlotte host New York City at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday in a crucial MLS Eastern Conference matchup.

Charlotte enter the fixture on a difficult run, with just two wins in their last twelve MLS games, but they remain formidable at home, unbeaten in eleven of their last thirteen home matches and having scored in each of their last eleven league outings. The recent return to Bank of America Stadium, after a series of away games due to Club World Cup commitments, could provide a timely boost for Dean Smith’s side.

New York City arrive three places and five points ahead of Charlotte in the table, but their away form has been a concern - they have managed only one win in nine road games this season, averaging under a goal per game away from home.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Charlotte FC team news

Charlotte are missing Nathan Byrne due to a neck injury. Both teams are expected to field strong lineups otherwise, with Charlotte’s home advantage and recent scoring form likely to be decisive.
