History

On March 31, 2022, Charlotte FC announced it would field an MLS Next Pro team under the leadership of president Darrius Barnes.[1] The club had previously affiliated with the Charlotte Independence of USL League One for the 2022 season.[2] The team was one of seven MLS-affiliated clubs that would join MLS Next Pro in 2023.[3]

The club's name, Crown Legacy FC, and circular logo were announced in January 2023 following a delay due to the death of Charlotte FC defender Anton Walkes.[4] The inaugural season began on March 26.[5]
