Charlotte FC has secured a spot in the 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs for the third straight year after a 3-0 win over Inter Miami CF, continuing their strong season.

Charlotte has steadily improved each season since their expansion, reaching a club record of 53 points with four games remaining.

The team tied an MLS record with nine consecutive wins and is currently third in the Eastern Conference, boasting a solid home record of 12 wins at Bank of America Stadium.

Their goal is to secure home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs, having previously exited at that stage last year.

The team's defense is anchored by Adilson Malanda and veteran Tim Ream, who support goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina, although Malanda will transfer to Middlesbrough after the season.

Key players include Israeli international Idan Toklomati, with 11 goals and 4 assists, and winger Wilfried Zaha, contributing 7 goals and 10 assists.

Spanish midfielder Pep Biel has had a standout season with 22 goal contributions despite injuries that limited his playing time.

The 2025 MLS Cup is scheduled for December 6, with playoffs beginning on October 22, featuring Wild Card matches and a Round One Best-of-3 series.

All playoff matches are available on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV, with detailed seeding and scenario information accessible on MLS's official website.
