Streaming services · Sports bars · TV channels · Blackout info
For Charlotte Hornets fans residing in Tampa, Florida, you're in luck! As Tampa is considered an out-of-market location for the Hornets, you will not face any local blackout restrictions when trying to stream their games. This means you have the widest range of options available to catch every dribble, pass, and dunk. The most comprehensive way to watch nearly every Hornets game live is through NBA League Pass. Unlike fans in Charlotte's local market, you can subscribe to League Pass and stream all regular season Hornets games that are not nationally televised without any blackout issues. For nationally broadcast games, you'll need access to services like TNT, ESPN, ABC, or Max, which carry select matchups throughout the season.
