The Charlotte Hornets' 2026-27 season

The Charlotte Hornets play 80 regular-season games in the 2026-27 NBA season, 40 at home at Spectrum Center and 40 away, opening on Oct 21 and finishing on Apr 11. 13 of those come on the day after the previous game. The longest homestand is 5 games, from Dec 14 to Dec 21; the longest road trip is 6, from Jan 9 to Jan 19.

Tip-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. That matters more here than it sounds: a North America evening game is the middle of the night in half the places people follow this league from, and the conversion is what every other schedule site leaves to the reader. To see how the Charlotte Hornets' run compares with the rest of the league, the full grid puts all 30 teams side by side.

Frequently asked questions

When do the Charlotte Hornets play next?

The Charlotte Hornets' next game is away at the Brooklyn Nets on Oct 21. The list below shows every remaining game, with tip-off times in your own timezone.

How many games do the Charlotte Hornets play in 2026-27?

80 regular-season games: 40 at home at Spectrum Center and 40 away, from Oct 21 to Apr 11. Two more are still to be scheduled — the NBA Cup's knockout rounds are not set until the group stage finishes in December, which is why 80 are listed for an 82-game season.

How many back-to-backs do the Charlotte Hornets have in 2026-27?

13 — that many games fall on the day after the previous one. A team on the second night of a back-to-back is playing tired, so it is the part of a schedule worth looking at before anything else. The grid puts every team's run side by side.

What is the Charlotte Hornets' longest homestand?

5 home games in a row, from Dec 14 to Dec 21. The longest road trip is 6 games, from Jan 9 to Jan 19.

What time do the Charlotte Hornets' games start in my timezone?

Every tip-off on this page is converted to the timezone your browser reports, with a manual override in the "Times in" control. The NBA publishes its schedule in US Eastern time, so a game listed there for the evening can fall in the small hours — or on the following day — where you are, and those carry a +1 mark.
