Before the entire 2025-26 regular season schedule is dropped, the league released its 2025 NBA Cup group play dates. The Oklahoma City Thunder learned when they will play their West Group A opponents.

The other four teams that share the group are the Minnesota Timberwolves, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings and Utah Jazz. There are six groups of five teams throughout the NBA. Three for each conference. Each team will play each other in their group round-robin style from Oct. 31 to Nov. 28.

After the group stage standings are finalized, the six group winners and two wildcard teams. The 2025 NBA Cup semifinals and championship will be played in Las Vegas from Dec. 13-16. A financial bonus for the entire roster is on the line.

The Thunder finished just shy of bringing home the NBA Cup last season. They lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in the tournament finals in Las Vegas. As a reminder, the championship game doesn’t count toward the regular season standings as an 83rd game of the season.

Here’s when the Thunder will face the four other teams in West Group A:
