The Charlotte Hornets today confirmed that their two-game 2025-26 home preseason schedule will include a stop in North Charleston. The team will host the reigning NBA Champion Oklahoma City Thunder at the North Charleston Coliseum on Sunday, Oct. 5 at 5 p.m. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, July 16 and are available online at hornets.com, ticketmaster.com, and northcharlestoncoliseumpac.com.
“We’re always looking to foster new and existing fan engagement throughout the Carolinas, so with Spectrum Center renovations nearing completion in early October, this is the perfect opportunity to host our preseason games in outer markets,” said Hornets Sports & Entertainment Chief Marketing Officer Seth Bennett.
The Hornets have traditionally hosted several regional home contests as part of their preseason schedule and have previously played four preseason contests in Charleston, most recently in 2012, also at the North Charleston Coliseum.
