Skyhawks Unveil 2025-26 Schedule with Theme Nights, Expanded Playoffs

On Tuesday afternoon, the NBA G League released its 50-game slate for the 2025-26 season, officially setting the stage for the College Park Skyhawks’ sixth campaign in the league.

The Skyhawks tip things off with a back-to-back road series against Raptors 905 on Friday, Nov. 7 (7:30 p.m.) and Sunday, Nov. 9 (2 p.m.) before returning to Gateway Center Arena @ College Park for a four-game homestand. Opening Night is set for Friday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. against the Capital City Go-Go, followed by a rematch with Capital City (Nov. 16), a battle with the Westchester Knicks (Nov. 20), and a matchup with the Long Island Nets (Nov. 26).

December through February will be packed with home action. Each of those months features a season-high six games in College Park, beginning with “Education Day presented by CareSource” on Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 11 a.m. The Skyhawks will also host their annual “Holiday Game presented by Aaron’s” against the Greensboro Swarm on Sunday, Dec. 14 before heading to Orlando for the NBA G League Winter Showcase, presented by The General Insurance.

Once back from the Showcase, the Skyhawks close December with a four-game homestand highlighted by back-to-back weekend games against Capital City (Dec. 27) and Long Island (Dec. 28), capped off with a pair of Birmingham Squadron contests (Dec. 30 and Jan. 1).

January and February will feature College Park’s longest home stretches of the season. From Jan. 12-21, the Skyhawks play five straight at home, taking on Osceola Magic, Delaware Blue Coats (twice), and Maine Celtics (twice). In February, they host another four-game stretch from Feb. 2-9, welcoming the Cleveland Charge and Rip City Remix for two games apiece.

The final home game of the year—“Fan Appreciation Night presented by Aaron’s”—comes on Tuesday, Mar. 25 against the Osceola Magic. In total, the Skyhawks will host 24 games at Gateway Center Arena, with every home matchup broadcast locally between Peachtree Sports Network and Peachtree TV.

This season also includes several family-friendly experiences, with all four Sunday home games serving as “Kids Day” events.

“There is so much to look forward to this upcoming season, from great basketball and the development of current and future NBA players, to some wonderful activations and theme games with our partners,” said Janice Koon, Senior Vice President of G League and 2K League Operations with the Atlanta Hawks. “There is a real sense of momentum built from last season both on the court and off, and we can’t wait to get back to Gateway with our fans and make this one of our best seasons yet.”
