The Atlanta Hawks open the 2025-26 season on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at State Farm Arena, hosting the Toronto Raptors (7:30 p.m.) on ‘Opening Night presented by State Farm’, the National Basketball Association announced today, as the Hawks released their 2025-26 Schedule presented by Ticketmaster, the Official Ticket Marketplace of the Hawks.

The Hawks begin the season with two-of-three contests at home (Toronto and defending NBA champion Oklahoma City), followed by the first of four season-long tying four-game road trips (Chicago, Brooklyn, Indiana, Cleveland).
Atlanta returns home for three games, including a Tuesday, Nov. 4 Southeast Division battle with Orlando (8 p.m. on NBC/Peacock) and a Saturday, Nov. 8 matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers (8 p.m.) before departing for a four-game West Coast trip (facing the LA Clippers, Sacramento, Utah, and Phoenix). The Nov. 4 contest will be Atlanta’s first game to air on NBC since a second-round playoff game at New York on May 23, 1999.
