Market context
Charlotte FC will travel to face New York City FC on 13 May 2026 at 7:15 PM ET in an MLS regular season match. The market settles on the exact final score after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, excluding extra time. The 6% implied probability reflects the combined likelihood of all explicitly listed scorelines, with any result outside those outcomes resolving to "Any Other Score." The settlement window closes at 23:15 UTC on the match date.
Exact-score markets in football typically carry low probabilities for any single outcome because the distribution of final scores is genuinely dispersed. MLS matches in 2025 averaged 2.8 goals per side, with 1–1 and 2–1 results among the most frequent outcomes. Charlotte and NYCFC's recent form, head-to-head record, and home-field advantage will influence which specific scorelines traders perceive as most likely. The current 6% probability on Polymarket's order book suggests the market is pricing in substantial uncertainty around the exact result, consistent with how exact-score markets typically function across football fixtures.
Traders should monitor team news through early May, including injury reports and squad rotation patterns as the season progresses. NYCFC's performance in the weeks leading up to the fixture and Charlotte's home record at Bank of America Stadium will inform positioning. Weather conditions on match day and any late tactical announcements from either manager could shift expectations around goal-scoring patterns, though such information typically emerges closer to kickoff.

How active is this market?
$0 in lifetime turnover and $28K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for sports contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is strong — order books support five-figure trades with single-cent slippage.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
Key terms

- Slippage
- The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.

Risk and regulatory note
Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
