The Charlotte Hornets’ Full 82-Game Schedule for 2026-27 Has Been Released

A new season of Charlotte Hornets basketball is just around the corner, and the next time they take the floor, it will be the first look at Jeff Peterson's vision for the future of the organization without LaMelo Ball.

The former face of the franchise is set to return to the Queen City with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a Monday matinee on Presidents' Day (February 15th), with the tip slated for 12 p.m. ET. That matchup, plus the Hornets' NBA Cup schedule, was released earlier this week. Now, we have the full 82-game slate.

Before taking a glance at the schedule, a huge shoutout to the Hornets, who made everyone's lives much easier for the upcoming season by agreeing to a one-year partnership with Cox Media Group to televise non-national TV games on WSOC Channel 9 and TV64.

Oct. 6 vs. Brooklyn Nets, 7 p.m. ET
Oct. 11 vs. Milwaukee Bucks, 7 p.m. ET
