How to watch Thunder games in 2024-25 with and without cable: Full streaming guide
By Mark Nilon
It has been roughly four months since OKC Thunder fans last saw their favorite team take to the hardwood for in-game action.
This alluded-to showing likely left a bitter taste in the mouths of Loud City-leaning onlookers, as the ball club was downed and, ultimately, eliminated from title contention in Game 6 of the West Semifinals by the Dallas Mavericks.
Fortunately, 2024-25 presents the Thunder with a brand new opportunity to contend for the coveted Larry O'Brien Trophy, and, in the eyes of the odds-makers, they have a realistic shot of bringing the hardware home themselves, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and company sport the second-best chances of winning the 2025 NBA Finals.
With the hype surrounding this team, the franchise's faithful followers won't want to miss any of the action coming their way during the upcoming campaign, and, to help you stay tuned, we've compiled a comprehensive breakdown of how one can stream each game.
How to watch OKC Thunder games with cable or antenna
Local broadcasts
For regional games, Bally Sports Oklahoma will likely end up becoming your go-to for Thunder games in 2024-25, as the broadcast's parent company, Diamond Sports, proposed a new agreement with the NBA that would keep their rights to stream games through at least this coming year.
To avoid any confusion, in the near future Bally Sports will be rebranding to Fanduel Sports for this season.
Fans in the area will also once again be treated to televised broadcasts on Friday nights by way of Griffin stations KSBI Ch. 52.1 in the Oklahoma City area and News on 6 Now Ch. 6.3 out in Tulsa. The showings will also have stations in Lawton, Wichita, and Joplin, and are available for free with the use of an HD antenna connected to your TV.
National broadcasts
Outside of local broadcasts, the Thunder will be featured nationwide on numerous occasions throughout the season, as they're currently slated to have 25 games (tied for 10-most in the association) aired on ESPN, ABC, TNT, or NBA TV.
