It's safe to assume the OKC Thunder will be out for blood in 2026-27 after falling nine points shy of heading to their second-straight NBA Finals and, in turn, going on to potentially become the first repeat champion since the 2018 Warriors.
The first step toward working their way back up to the mountain top will be taken in just over a month from now, with the kickoff of training camp, followed by the start of preseason and then regular-season action.
Needless to say, Thunder fans have been ready to see their beloved ball club head back to the hardwood since their devastating Game 7 loss to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. Fortunately for them, they'll have a bevy of ways to tune into all the upcoming action.

- Oklahoma City: Select games are simulcast on KWTV-9 or KSBI-52
- Tulsa: Simulcasts regularly air on KOTV-6
- Lawton: KSWO
- Wichita, KS: KWCH/ KSCW
