It most likely will depend on the license, but I don't think the game normally has a license for expansion teams especially that far out normally just covers the forthcoming season - looks like Charlotte FC have made it as a 2022 expansion team, so you might need to wait for FM23 for St. Louis.

It is also possible one of the future feature blogs may cover new licenses which may confirm which expansion teams made it into the game.

Gotcha, I will look out for that. Charlotte FC was in FM21 so was hoping St. Louis would be in this year.

Have you simmed to the 2023 season to see if they appear? Might be hardcoded to only appear at the end of the 2022 season ahead of 2023. 

I have not, let me check.

Should I hold on to hope that St. Louis City SC (new MLS expansion team in 2023) will be in the full game? I don't see them in the beta and was looking forward to play as them in FM22.
