GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — One of the Charlotte Hornets’ two 2025-26 home preseason games will be played at First Horizon Coliseum, the organization announced Monday.
On Sunday, Oct. 5 at 5 p.m., the Hornets will host the Oklahoma City Thunder at the North Charleston Coliseum, followed by a matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies at First Horizon Coliseum on Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.
According to a press release, Greensboro has a strong connection to the Hornets as the city has served as the home of the Greensboro Swarm, the team’s NBA G League affiliate, since 2016.
The Hornets have previously played ten preseason games in Greensboro, most recently in 2022.
“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 are the NBA team of the Carolinas. We’re excited for fans in Charleston and Greensboro to experience the excitement of a home game, while deepening our visibility, connection and impact within each community.”
Tickets go on sale Wednesday and will be available at the Hornets’ website, Ticketmaster and gsocomplex.com.
The Hornets’ full preseason schedule will be released at a later date.
