Which nights should you book for Preseason: Hawks vs Thunder?
The game is on Sunday, 12 October 2026. If you are arriving on the day of the match, plan to check in before evening kick-off. Since this is a single-day fixture and kick-off is likely in the evening (as is typical for preseason NBA games), many supporters choose to stay overnight — especially if travelling with family or a group — to avoid post-game traffic and late-night departures. Booking for one night (12 October) covers the match night; if you arrive early for pre-game activities or want a relaxed morning after, consider checking in on 11 October.

Ride-share drop-off is available directly at the arena precinct. Public transport options include buses and a train station within the precinct, but services thin out late — check the last departure before you go.

Where do you eat and drink after the sporting event?
After the game, several bars and casual dining spots operate near State Farm Arena and along the Centennial Olympic Park corridor. Hotels like Omni Atlanta Hotel and Signia By Hilton have on-site lounges and sports-viewing areas, making them convenient for watching other matches later in the evening.
