It wasn't just the regular season that got released on Tuesday. The Independence also let us know friendlies they will be participating in.
On Tuesday the Charlotte Independence learned their USL opponents (they open at home to Louisville City FC) but lost in that announcement was the preseason schedule. Charlotte will play a total of six preseason matches as they prepare for their second season in USL.
The pre-season schedule:
Saturday, 27 February--vs North Carolina State University

Saturday, 5 March--vs University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
Saturday, 12 Marc--vs Carolina RailHawks

The preseason matches will be crucial for Charlotte as they have just ten current players on the roster and will be looking to bring together a squad that can compete for a USL playoff spot.
