Orlando Magic to open 2026-27 season against Atlanta Hawks

The Orlando Magic will open their 2026-27 NBA regular season at home against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, October 21, at the Kia Center. The game is scheduled for a 7 pm start.

The matchup reignites a rivalry between the two teams following a season where the Hawks swept the Magic in four regular-season games. That series outcome contributed to the Hawks securing the No. 6 seed and the Magic taking the No. 8 seed in the previous standings.

The Magic's season schedule includes eight nationally televised games across NBC/Peacock, ESPN, and Amazon Prime. Cox Media Group will serve as the team's new over-the-air broadcast partner for the upcoming season.
