The Oklahoma City Thunder learned some new intel for their 2027-26 regular season. Less than a month to go before Media Day, they're entering the upcoming year as a co-title favorite — alongside the San Antonio Spurs. Even with their summer of cost-cutting moves.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a two-time MVP winner. Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams are both All-NBA talents. Those three alone should keep the Thunder in the title conversation for the foreseeable future. Because of that, OKC is front and center in the upcoming regular season.

The Thunder have the fifth-most national TV games at 30 appearances. Only the Spurs, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers have more at a maximum of 34 apiece. OKC also learned which of its

games will be shown on NBA TV.

As usual, the NBA TV broadcasts will be simultaneous with the local TV broadcasts. Recently announced, the Thunder will have 67 regular-season games on Griffin Media stations in OKC and Tulsa and on the 'Thunder+' streaming service.

Here are three games the Thunder will have on NBA TV in the 2026-27 regular season. These are all subject to change:
