The 2025–26 Charlotte Hornets season is the 36th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Despite starting the season 4–14 record through late November 2025, the Hornets made a mid-season turnaround. Between January and February 2026, the team recorded a nine-game winning streak, their longest since the 1997–98 season. This streak stands as the second-longest in franchise history, trailing only the all-time record of 10 consecutive wins in 1998. It is tied as the second-longest in the combined history of the original and current Charlotte Hornets franchise, as the team had reclaimed the 1988–2002 original records from the New Orleans Pelicans following the 2014 rebranding from the Bobcats. During the winning streak, on January 28, 2026, the Hornets improved on their 19–63 record from their previous season.
