The Carolina Panthers were founded in 1993 and play their home games at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the club is also headquartered. Owner David Tepper oversees a franchise that reached the Super Bowl following a 15–1 campaign in 2015 and returned to the playoffs after an 11–5 season in 2017. The years since have been leaner. From 2018 through 2024, Carolina posted just one winning record and bottomed out at 2–15 in 2023. Under head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan, the Panthers improved to 8–9 in 2025 and secured a playoff berth. The roster features quarterback Bryce Young, running back Chuba Hubbard, and receivers Xavier Legette and Tetairoa McMillan.
