Hawks Schedule 2026-27 Season Has Big Rivalry Games
The 2026-27 Atlanta Hawks schedule is finally here, and it looks like a wild ride. Fans can look forward to intense matchups against old rivals and emotional returns to the arena.

The 2026-27 Atlanta Hawks schedule has been unveiled, promising a season filled with high-stakes rivalries and emotional comebacks. The season opener on October 21 sees the Hawks facing off against their bitter rivals, the Orlando Magic. This matchup is particularly significant due to the Magic's history of causing injuries to Hawks players, such as Vit Krejci and Larry Nance Jr. last season, and more recently sidelining Trae Young.
The Hawks will look to secure a win against the Magic, who missed the playoffs last year due to injury issues.
Another emotionally charged game is set for November 6 when the Hawks return to play against their former team, the Washington Wizards. Trae Young, who missed the previous season due to injury, will be hoping to prove his worth against his old team. The arrival of Trae and other traded players like Lu Dort and Aaron Wiggins adds a new dimension to the Western Conference rivalry against the Oklahoma City Thunder on November 18.
Despite a previous championship loss, the Hawks are determined to finally secure a victory on their home court. The final test of the season comes on November 29 when the Hawks travel to New York to face the Knicks, marking their first game since the playoffs. With no roster changes, fans can expect an intense showdown between the two historic teams.
