The Charlotte Hornets are a professional basketball team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, competing in the Southeast Division of the NBA's Eastern Conference.

About the Charlotte Hornets

The Hornets first arrived in Charlotte in the late 1980s, quickly becoming one of the most colourful and beloved expansion franchises in the league thanks to their distinctive teal-and-purple identity. After the original club relocated, professional basketball returned to the city in the mid-2000s, and the Hornets name was restored in 2014, reconnecting the franchise with its earliest supporters. Over the years, the club has been associated with a string of memorable players, from the dynamic backcourt figures of its early era to more recent talents who have made the team a fixture of highlight reels across the league. On a game night, the Hornets' home arena in uptown Charlotte carries a lively, community-minded atmosphere, with buzzing crowds, an energetic in-arena presentation and a passionate fan base that has stood by the team through rebuilds and resurgences alike. The venue offers a modern, well-appointed setting close to the heart of the city, making it a natural gathering point for basketball supporters. As a Southeast Division side, the Hornets share regular, hard-fought meetings with divisional neighbours, and visits from the league's marquee teams and biggest stars always lift the occasion. Matchups against fellow Eastern Conference contenders and games featuring high-profile visiting players tend to generate the most excitement among the Charlotte faithful.

Tickets

With an 82-game regular season, the Hornets play 41 home games, so availability is far wider than you would find across an NFL schedule, giving supporters plenty of chances to attend across the winter and spring. Prices tend to rise for weekend fixtures, nationally televised games, visits from marquee opponents and star players, and anything in the postseason, while midweek games against less glamorous visitors are usually easier to come by. Seating ranges from courtside and lower-bowl seats that put you right in the action to more relaxed upper-tier views that take in the whole floor, so there is an option to suit most budgets. Every Hornets listing on Staadly comes from verified sellers with clear all-in pricing, so the total you see is the total you pay, all backed by our 100% buyer guarantee.

Championships & Banners

The Hornets are still chasing their first NBA title and have yet to reach the Finals, with their postseason history built around a number of playoff appearances and hard-fought series in both their original and modern eras. Recent seasons have centred on developing a young core and rebuilding toward sustained contention, with the club aiming to return to the postseason picture in the Eastern Conference.

Frequently asked questions

How many home games do the Charlotte Hornets play each season?

The Hornets play 41 home games during the 82-game NBA regular season, so there are far more opportunities to attend than with an NFL side. Additional home fixtures can be added if the team qualifies for the postseason.

When is the Hornets schedule released?

The full NBA regular-season schedule is typically confirmed in the run-up to the campaign, usually during the off-season. Once dates are known, tickets for individual Hornets home games become available to browse on Staadly.

Which Hornets games cost the most and why?

Prices tend to climb for weekend games, nationally televised fixtures, visits from marquee teams and star players, and any postseason matchup. Demand is the main driver, so the biggest occasions naturally see stronger interest than quieter midweek games.

How do playoff tickets differ from regular-season ones?

Postseason tickets are usually in much higher demand and tend to be dearer than regular-season games, reflecting the heightened stakes. Availability can also be tighter, so it is worth acting early when playoff games are confirmed.

What is the difference between courtside and upper-tier seats?

Courtside and lower-bowl seats place you close to the players and the intensity of the action, while upper-tier seats offer a wider, more affordable view of the whole court and the game's flow. Every option on Staadly comes with all-in pricing and our 100% buyer guarantee.
