NBA basketball game between the Phoenix Suns and the Charlotte Hornets, billed as 'Hoops for Troops presented by Sun Auto Network'.
The Phoenix Suns take on the Charlotte Hornets at the Mortgage Matchup Center on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 7 PM. It's a regular-season matchup, but the night has a specific theme: the game is billed as 'Hoops for Troops presented by Sun Auto Network.' The organizers frame it as more than just a game, a chance to cheer on your team and take part in fan activities.
If you're planning to be there, a couple of things are worth keeping in mind. Doors open 120 minutes before tip-off, and the first 5,000 fans in attendance get a camo hat courtesy of Sun Auto. The venue has more than 700 parking spaces on site, so you don't have to hunt for a spot. There's a strict bag policy, though: professional cameras, audio/video recording devices, and backpacks aren't allowed inside. And the box office delivers tickets via mobile rather than printed paper, so have your phone ready when you arrive.

After the game, the crowd is directed toward LegendsPHX, which is billed as the leading entertainment district in Phoenix. It's a good spot to keep the night going—you can grab a drink, get a meal, catch a movie, or visit a museum. If you're coming from out of town or just want to make a full evening of it, that's where you'll find the options. The game itself is at the Mortgage Matchup Center, 201 E. Jefferson St., Phoenix, AZ, starting at 7 PM.
