In a city with as many transplants as Charlotte, there is a true melting pot of NFL fans in the Queen City. Hopefully, if you have chosen to call Charlotte home you at least cheer for the Panthers when they aren’t playing your original home team. Nothing illustrates this more than Bank of America Stadium, especially in the recent down years on Sundays. I went to the Denver Broncos game here last year. And keep in mind the Broncos were just as bad as the Panthers. But there was still just as much or probably even more orange than blue in the stadium. And I can’t think those fans traveled (unless they thought it was one of a few games they could actually win- they didn’t though).  Here’s where to watch your favorite NFL Team in Charlotte North Carolina.

So you want to cheer on your team with like-minded fans in Charlotte? The good news is most teams have a team bar to visit on Sundays. These are typically locations secured by organized fan groups. Unfortunately, not every team has a bar or group. You won’t find an official meet-up spot for any of the other NFC South teams for example. So sorry Falcons, Saints, and Buccaneers Fans. That would certainly be a risky business move hosting the rival teams so I can understand it!

So before you grab your friends and head to the bar to cheer on your team, check out this list of where to watch each NFL team and their Charlotte North Carolina home. And I’m sure I’ll see you cheering them on the next time each team rolls into Bank of America Stadium. Maybe then the Panthers will be good enough for fans to actually want to attend the game? Personally they are going to have to have a better chance of winning before I drop NFL ticket money.

  • Cleveland Browns

    CLEVELAND, OHIO - SEPTEMBER 10: Nick Chubb #24 of the Cleveland Browns plays against the Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns Stadium on September 10, 2023 in Cleveland, Ohio.

  • Dallas Cowboys

    EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY - SEPTEMBER 10: Dak Prescott #4 of the Dallas Cowboys passes the ball against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on September 10, 2023 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

    DENVER, COLORADO - SEPTEMBER 10: Russell Wilson #3 of the Denver Broncos and Justin Simmons #31 of the Denver Broncos react after their team's 17-16 loss against the Las Vegas Raiders at Empower Field At Mile High on September 10, 2023 in Denver, Colorado.

    There are either a ton of Denver fans in Charlotte or they just travel well even when the team is struggling because Bank of America Stadium was orange last year when the Broncos came to town. The weekly gathering spot is Duckworth’s at Rea Farms!

  • Detroit Lions

    KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - SEPTEMBER 07: David Montgomery #5 of the Detroit Lions celebrates their 21-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on September 07, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri.

  • Green Bay Packers

     

    CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - SEPTEMBER 10: The Green Bay Packers looks on against the Chicago Bears during the first quarter at Soldier Field on September 10, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois

    If you’re looking to have a fan meet-up for the Houston Texans, you’ll have to create your own. Currently, there is not an official bar or organized fan group.

  • Indianapolis Colts

    INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - SEPTEMBER 10: Shaquille Leonard #53 of the Indianapolis Colts reacts after a play in the second half of a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium on September 10, 2023 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

    I’m shocked there isn’t a fan group or bar for the Colts. Seems like a great opportunity for someone to start one!

  • Jacksonville Jaguars

    JACKSONVILLE, FL - NOVEMBER 06: Safety Deke Cooper #35 of the Jacksonville Jaquars rushes the punter against the Houston Texans on November 6, 2005 at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. The Jaguars defeated the Texans 21-14.

    Jacksonville is just a 5-hour drive from Charlotte. But there must not be too many Jags fans here. With Clemson star Trevor Lawrence at the helm for the Jaguars there has to be a sizable fan base in the Charlotte area. But as of now, no official Jacksonville Jaguars bar.

  • Kansas City Chiefs

    KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI - SEPTEMBER 07: Felix Anudike-Uzomah #97 of the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on September 07, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri.

    INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 10: Justin Herbert #10 of the Los Angeles Chargers calls a play in a huddle during a 36-34 loss to the Miami Dolphins at SoFi Stadium on September 10, 2023 in Inglewood, California.

    Unfortunately there isn’t a Chargers bar for fans (if there are any) in Charlotte. After leaving San Diego for LA I don’t think there are too many in California either!

  • Los Angeles Rams

    SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 10: Byron Young #0 of the Los Angeles Rams in action against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on September 10, 2023 in Seattle, Washington.

    Relocated LA football teams must not have much of a fanbase in the Carolinas. The Rams fans are also without a gameday home in Charlotte.

  • Miami Dolphins

    INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 10: Jaelan Phillips #15 of the Miami Dolphins warms up before the game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on September 10, 2023 in Inglewood, California.

  • Minnesota Vikings

    PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - SEPTEMBER 14: Jordan Hicks #58 of the Minnesota Vikings reacts during the second half against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on September 14, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    The Vikings are the only NFC North team without a Charlotte place to call home. There have to be fans who have escaped the Minnesota winters somewhere though!

  • New England Patriots

    FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS - SEPTEMBER 10: Mac Jones #10 of the New England Patriots and Mike Gesicki #88 walk through the tunnel before the game against the Philadelphia Eagles  at Gillette Stadium on September 10, 2023 in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

    New Englanders you’ll have to go a little south of Charlotte to Fort Mill to cheer on your team. You’ll find the home of the Patriots at Mulligan’s Sports Bar & Grille.

    NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - SEPTEMBER 10: Derek Carr #4 of the New Orleans Saints celebrates after New Orleans 16-15 win over the Tennessee Titans at Caesars Superdome on September 10, 2023 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

    Charlotte has seemingly unanimously avoided welcoming fans of any other NFC South Team. It must not be worth the boycott from Panthers fans that could be placed on any establishment supporting a rival team. There is a Facebook group of brave Saints fans in the Queen City however called New Orleans Saints Fans of Charlotte.

  • New York Giants

    September 10, 2023 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

    There is no shortage of Giants fans in the Carolinas. Especially with former Duke QB Daniel Jones at the helm of the team. The Local in uptown Charlotte is where the local Giants Fans congregate on gameday.

    EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY - SEPTEMBER 11: Wide receiver Xavier Gipson #82 of the New York Jets celebrates with Allen Lazard #10, Michael Carter II #30 and head coach Robert Saleh after scoring the game winning touchdown on a 65-yard punt return during the overtime quarter of the NFL game against the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium on September 11, 2023 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Jets defeated the Bills 22-16 in overtime.

    If there are Giants fans there are Jets fans. If the other NY team is the one you fancy, hang out with like-minded fellow fans at Dillworth Neighborhood Grille.

  • Philadelphia Eagles

    PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - SEPTEMBER 14: Justin Evans #30 of the Philadelphia Eagles celebrates after breaking up a pass intended for T.J. Hockenson #87 of the Minnesota Vikings during the fourth quarter at Lincoln Financial Field on September 14, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    Steamers Sports Pub on Pierson Dr is the Charlotte home of the Eagles. Rise up, is another Super Bowl run in the works?

  • Pittsburgh Steelers

    PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA - SEPTEMBER 10: Kenny Pickett #8 of the Pittsburgh Steelers looks to throw a pass in the first half of a game against the San Francisco 49ers at Acrisure Stadium on September 10, 2023 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

    Steelers fans you’ll have to share you’re bar with the Jets. Dilworth Neighborhood Grille hosts both fan groups weekly.

  • San Francisco 49ers

    PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA - SEPTEMBER 10: Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers reacts after running for a first down in the fourth quarter of a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium on September 10, 2023 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

  • Seattle Seahawks

    SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 10: Geno Smith #7 and DeeJay Dallas #31 of the Seattle Seahawks prepare to take on the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field on September 10, 2023 in Seattle, Washington.

    I was a 10-year Seahawks fan thanks to Russel Wilson and it was a fun time! Lucky Lou’s Tavern on Park Road is where the 12th Man hangs out in Charlotte!

  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers

    MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - SEPTEMBER 10: Tristan Wirfs #78 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers walks off the field after the Buccaneers defeated the Minnesota Vikings, 20-17, at U.S. Bank Stadium on September 10, 2023 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

    Sorry Bucs fans, rivalries don’t let you have a welcome spot in the Carolinas. At least you get to see your team play here once a year.

  • Tennessee Titans

    NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - SEPTEMBER 10: Kindle Vildor #20 of the Tennessee Titans, Anthony Kendall #40 of the Tennessee Titans, and Matthew Jackson #39 of the Tennessee Titans, celebrate after a play during the fourth quarter against the New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome on September 10, 2023 in New Orleans, Louisiana

    I’m shocked that there isn’t a Titans bar in Charlotte. But luckily Nashville is just a short flight from Charlotte to get your football fix.

  • Washington Commanders

    LANDOVER, MARYLAND - SEPTEMBER 10: Jeremy Reaves #39 of the Washington Commanders celebrates after a defensive stop during the third quarter against the Arizona Cardinals at FedExField on September 10, 2023 in Landover, Maryland.

    Last but not least is the team a lot of North Carolinians cheered for prior to the Panthers. If you want to cheer on the Commanders and former Panthers coach Ron Rivera you can do so at Jack Beagles on Morehead.
