Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, September 23, 2026 —
The Charlotte Hornets have entered into a broadcast partnership with Gray Media, a move that will bring the team’s games to free over-the-air television in several key markets. The agreement is slated to commence with the 2026-27 NBA season.
Under the terms of the collaboration, fans will be able to watch Hornets games without a subscription through local broadcast channels in a designated region. This initiative aims to increase accessibility for the team’s fanbase in North and South Carolina. The broadcast coverage will extend to six specific markets within these states.
Among the markets set to receive these over-the-air broadcasts is the Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville-Anderson area. Additionally, the partnership includes Roanoke, Virginia, expanding the reach of Hornets programming to a new geographic audience.
The specific details regarding which Gray Media stations will carry the games, or the full list of all six North and South Carolina markets, were not immediately provided. The launch of this new broadcast arrangement is planned for the NBA season that begins in the fall of 2026.
This partnership signifies a strategic effort by the Charlotte Hornets to broaden their viewing audience through traditional over-the-air television, making games accessible to a wider demographic before the 2026-27 season begins.
