The OKC Thunder<\/a> will be looking for a new broadcast home.<\/p>\n

Sports Business Journal<\/a> reported Thursday that Main Street Sports Group, which runs its broadcasts under the name FanDuel Sports Network<\/a>, will cease operations at the end of the 2025-26 NBA regular season. It owned the broadcasting rights to 13 NBA teams, one of which was OKC.<\/p>\n

The Thunder will now be able to negotiate a new in-market deal for the 2026-27 season and beyond. It will retain the broadcasting group of Chris Fisher (play-by-play), Michael Cage (analyst), Nick Gallo (reporter) and Paris Lawson (reporter) regardless of where it lands.<\/p>\n

“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 vice president of broadcasting and corporate communications Dan Mahoney told The Oklahoman in a statement.<\/p>\n

OKC’s last FanDuel Sports Network broadcast will be its home game against the Phoenix Suns<\/a> on Sunday, April 12.<\/p>\n

That’ll mark the final regular-season game for the Thunder (61-16), which will then enter the postseason with hopes of winning its second straight championship<\/a>. All playoff games will be broadcast on national television.<\/p>\n
