National Football Conference · NFC South
The Carolina Panthers were founded in 1993 and play their home games at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The franchise reached its peak in 2015 with a 15–1 record and a Super Bowl appearance, though the years since have brought considerable rebuilding. After posting 2–15 in 2023, the Panthers improved to 5–12 in 2024 and returned to the playoffs in 2025 with an 8–9 mark under head coach Dave Canales. Owned by David Tepper, the club is led by general manager Dan Morgan and features a young roster headlined by quarterbacks Bryce Young and Kenny Pickett. The offense includes running backs Jonathon Brooks, AJ Dillon, Trevor Etienne, and Chuba Hubbard, along with receivers Xavier Legette, Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., and DeVonta Smith. Tight end Darren Waller and linemen Stone Forsythe and Damien Lewis anchor the supporting cast, while defenders Devin Lloyd, Jaelan Phillips, Trevis Gipson, and Mike Jackson form the core of the defensive unit.
