Just like that, the NBA machines continue to roll along. Less than a month since they won the Larry O’Brien, the Oklahoma City Thunder have announced their 2025-26 preseason schedule. The regular season schedule will be announced later this offseason.
The Thunder will play six games from Oct. 5-17. The two weeks will feature two home games and four road games. Unlike previous years, OKC won’t play a preseason outing at Tulsa’s BOK Center due to scheduling conflicts. It hopes to return to the venue in the future.
This will be the start of the Thunder’s voyage as a rare repeat team. The NBA champion enters next season as a title favorite with their entire season back. But first, it must complete these exhibitions as expanded rosters will give guys at the bottom of the depth chart a chance to impress.
