Finally, a multi-year saga looks like it’s coming to an end. The Sports Business Journal reported on Friday that FanDuel Sports Network will cease operations at the end of the NBA’s 2025-26 regular season. That means the Oklahoma City Thunder will seek a new broadcast home in the future.

Main Street Sports — FanDuel Sports’ parent company — has owned the broadcasting rights to 13 NBA teams. One of those was OKC. With the company shutting down, those teams can negotiate new in-market deals for the 2026-27 season and beyond this upcoming summer.

It’s been quite the adventurous last few years for FanDuel Sports Network. Main Street Sports Group — previously known as Diamond Sports Group — filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Mar. 2023. The parent company rebranded after it successfully emerged from it in Jan. 2025. This came after Bally Sports rebranded to FanDuel Sports Network in Oct. 2024.

While some NBA teams left the company for their own local broadcasts, others remained until the end. The Thunder were one of them. They had a handful of regular-season games over the last three seasons that were locally aired. It remains to be seen what OKC will do for its future broadcast options once Main Street Sports dissolves.

“As we look forward to next season, we are exploring a variety of options to ensure that our fans will be able to continue to watch all Thunder games and enjoy their favorite Thunder broadcasters,” Thunder VP of Broadcast and Corporate Communications Dan Mahoney told Thunder Wire in an official statement.

The Thunder will have their final FanDuel Sports Network broadcast on Sunday, Apr. 12. They will host the Phoenix Suns. It will serve as OKC’s regular-season finale. Starting this year, the NBA playoffs will be broadcast on national television. In previous years, the local broadcast aired the Round 1 series.

Also important to note that regardless of where the Thunder call their new broadcast home next season, the same on-air group will remain — Commentators Chris Fisher and Michael Cage; and reporters Nick Gallo and Paris Lawson.
