The NBA's schedule for the 2025-26 season is officially out, and the Charlotte Hornets have a chance to achieve something truly special. They've never started a season with better than a 3-0 record, and they'll have a chance to eclipse that mark with how the start of next season is panning out.
Charlotte will officially open up next season on October 22 at home against the Brooklyn Nets. From there, it'll be an October 25 road matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, then an October 26 game against the Washington Wizards on the second night of a back-to-back. The final matchup of the three-game road trip will be in Miami against the Heat, on October 28.
