[The Charlotte Hornets announced](https://www.nba.com/hornets/news/charlotte-hornets-announce-2025-26-home-preseason-schedule) that they will be playing their two game home preseason slate not at home.
* Sunday October 5 at 5:00 vs Oklahoma City Thunder in Charleston, SC
* Wednesday October 15 at 7:00 vs Memphis Grizzlies in Greensboro, NC
Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
The Hornets have played preseason games in different locations in the past, but they had gone away from that in recent years. Renovations at Spectrum Center have kind of forced their hand this year. Hopefully it goes well and the team continues to do these games in non-Charlotte markets. It’s an easy way to drum up just a little bit of team interest in the surrounding areas and makes the non-Charlotte markets feel just a little bit more attached to the Charlotte team.
The rest of the preseason schedule be announced sometime in the next month or so. The Hornets will probably have two or three road games in between these two games to get geared up for the regular season.
