The Hawks had a very exciting offseason, and now the focus turns toward the 2025-26 NBA season.
Due to a conflict with the college football playoff championship being hosted the same day in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, last season the Hawks didn’t host a Martin Luther King Jr. day game for only the second time since 1989. The Hawks were rerouted to New York to take on the Knicks a year ago as they also did back in 2017.

Now, the NBA and the Hawks have announced a return to tradition with a day game against the Milwaukee Bucks this upcoming January:
In preseason news, the team has also announced a four-game exhibition schedule. This will presumably be the first time to see Kristaps Porzingis, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Luke Kennard, and other new Hawks in action on the basketball court.
The first game will be on October 6, and the final game will wrap 10 days later. The team will play the Houston Rockets twice, once at home and once on the road, sandwiching games against the Memphis Grizzlies (road) and the Miami Heat (home).
