One of the more frequently asked questions this offseason was finally answered. The Oklahoma City Thunder have announced their broadcast plans for the 2026-27 regular season. The 'Thunder Game Day Network' will launch this upcoming season as the main way to watch most of the games.
There are three elements to that. The Thunder will have 'Thunder Plus' through the NBA app. It will cost $19.99 per month or $108.99 for a season pass. But between Sept. 8-30, fans can get it at a discounted $99.99 for the entire season. Once Oct. 1 rolls around, though, it'll be at the initial prices listed.
As the home of 'Thunder Plus,' the NBA app will be able to stream games through any device — whether on the phone, laptop or TV. The app will have 67 regular-season
games throughout the year — the other 15 are national-TV exclusives. The same broadcast crew will return with Chris Fisher, Michael Cage, Nick Gallo, Paris Lawson and Royce Young. A new scorebug and graphics will be introduced for the broadcast as well.
The other way fans can tune in is through Griffin Media — which has expanded its relationship with the Thunder. Over the last few seasons, the local broadcast company has streamed a handful of regular season games. That will now expand to the full 67 regular season games. The Griffin stations are News9 in Oklahoma City and News on 6 in Tulsa. On top of that, 10 regular season games will also be broadcast over the air through additional local channels.
That's all the relevant information for local Thunder fans. But what about international fans or those scattered across the country? Business as usual. They'll have access to games through League Pass. Because of where they're located, they won't have to experience any broadcast blackouts

"The changing landscape of local and regional TV sports provided us the opportunity to reimagine our broadcast distribution and create the Thunder Gameday Network," said Dan Mahoney, vice president of Broadcasting for the Thunder. "This modern hybrid approach is designed to meet fans where they are, offering multiple ways to watch, from streaming to cable and satellite to free over-the-air television. We’re excited to expand our partnership with Griffin Media. We’ve been proud to collaborate with them for a limited number of games over the past three seasons, but this enhanced partnership makes Griffin the true local TV home of the Thunder. We’re also pleased to work directly with the NBA to launch Thunder+, our new direct-to-fan streaming service available through the NBA App. It allows viewers to enjoy Thunder games on a wide variety of platforms, from mobile to connected TV."
"As a locally owned company, we are proud to continue and expand our partnership with the Oklahoma City Thunder," said Wade Deaver, president of Griffin Media. "Covering the Thunder since their first season in Oklahoma City and broadcasting Thunder games the past three seasons, we've seen the passion Thunder fans have for their team firsthand, and all of us at Oklahoma’s Own Griffin Media are excited to bring games to viewers across Oklahoma again this year."
Because of FanDuel Sports Network's struggles to stay in business and its ultimate folding, several NBA teams have had fluctuating broadcast situations. Now, the Thunder have given their fans a direct answer on how they can watch this upcoming regular season.
The Thunder will enter the 2026-27 season as a co-title favorite — alongside the San Antonio Spurs. Even with their cost-cutting moves this summer, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams are a championship-proven trio that'll keep them in the thick of the title race.
