The “Panthers” team people usually ask about is the Carolina Panthers, an NFL team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and they officially represent both North Carolina and South Carolina.

Which state are the Panthers from?

  • The Carolina Panthers play their home games in Charlotte, North Carolina.
  • The franchise markets itself as representing both Carolinas, drawing fans from North Carolina and South Carolina, which is why it uses the broader regional name “Carolina” instead of a single state or city.

Quick note on other “Panthers”

If you meant the Florida Panthers (NHL team), that franchise is based in Sunrise, Florida , and uses the state name directly in its branding.
