Charlotte Hornets is a privately owned entity headquartered in the US. Founded in 2004, it operates with approximately 520 employees in the spectator sports sector. The company functions as a professional basketball team, competing as part of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Hornets Head Coach Charles Lee expressed pride on September 10, 2026, as Zach Peterson took on the role of Head Coach for the Greensboro Swarm, the team's G-League affiliate, a position Peterson assumed after nine years as an assistant in the NBA, including under Mike Budenholzer in Atlanta. Previously, on September 3, the Charlotte Hornets announced a new multi-year broadcast agreement with Radio One’s Sports Radio 92.7 (FM) WFNZ, returning Hornets basketball to the station as its flagship. This followed the organization's September 1 announcement of new Greensboro Swarm leadership, naming Mike Pires as General Manager and Peterson as Head Coach. Also on September 1, construction continued to progress on the Novant Health Performance Center (NHPC), approximately a year and a half after its groundbreaking in March 2025.
