Major League Soccer is expected to announce Charlotte on Tuesday as home to its 30th team.

MLS had 24 teams competing in the league in 2019, with three more expected to begin play in the next two years.

In April 2019, MLS announced it would expand once more, this time to 30 teams.

St. Louis and Sacramento won bids to become the league’s 28th and 29th expansion teams, with team owners for each team paying a fee of $200 million to join the league.
