The Brooklyn Nets start their 2025-26 campaign by traveling to the Spectrum Center to face the Charlotte Hornets in the first game of the NBA regular season for both clubs. How to Watch Nets vs Hornets When: Wednesday, October 22, 2025 Time: 7:00 PM ET TV Channel: FanDuel Sports Network Extra (South), YES Network Live Stream: Fubo (try for free) Brooklyn starts their season on the road, looking to continue their rebuild. The 2024-25 season was a disaster, as the Nets won just 26 games, their fewest in eight years. While the Nets were a struggling but plucky 20-34 at the All-Star Break, they completely fell apart and went 6-22 the rest of the way. The Nets will have an extremely young roster, notably losing Cam Johnson in an offseason trade to the Denver Nuggets for Michael Porter Jr. The Hornets have been one of the league’s more disappointing teams, currently riding a nine-season streak of missing the playoffs, but they do have a budding young trio in Brandon Miller, LaMelo Ball, and Miles Bridges to provide hope. Injuries were an issue in 2024-25, but when they played, they put up impressive numbers. Ball was the star, averaging 25.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game in 47 starts. This is a great NBA Basketball matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action. Live stream Nets vs Hornets for free on Fubo: Start your subscription now!
