Monthly and annual subscriptions are available, plus the popular Season Pass option that takes fans throughout the 2024-25 Thunder season and offers savings of up to 10%.

The Thunder’s broadcast reach this season also includes five over-the-air games on Griffin Media local stations in Oklahoma City (KWTV 9 or KSBI 52) and Tulsa (KOTV 6 or CW 19). Those games, which will be simulcast on both FanDuel Sports Network and the Griffin stations, include the Thunder’s New Year’s Eve home game.

“We’re thrilled to be able to enhance the Thunder viewing experience and reach with expanded TV access this season, including 75 games with our partners on the new FanDuel Sports Network,” said Dan Mahoney, Thunder VP of Broadcasting. “From regional and national TV, to streaming, to five local simulcasts on Griffin Media stations, our fans will be able to enjoy their team across a variety of platforms throughout our state and region.” 

“As we begin a new era as FanDuel Sports Network, we’re excited to deliver Thunder fans the in-depth local coverage they have come to expect,” said the network’s Sr. Vice President and General Manager Steve Simpson. “With wide distribution and streaming options, we aim to meet viewers where they are on a nightly basis, and we know this passionate Thunder fan base will be watching.”

“We are excited to partner with the Oklahoma City Thunder to carry five games on our Griffin stations again this season. Viewers will be able to watch two of the games on Oklahoma’s Own News 9 & News On 6 and the other three games will be available on KSBI in Oklahoma City and the CW in Tulsa,” said Wade Deaver, president of Griffin Media. “Our viewers loved being able to watch the Thunder action on the Griffin stations last year. These five games are another way we are bringing great local content to viewers across Oklahoma.”

The Thunder’s on-air team of Chris Fisher, Michael Cage, Nick Gallo, and Paris Lawson returns for the 2024-25 season. 

On radio, The Sports Animal (WWLS 98.1 FM) returns as the flagship of the 14-station Thunder Radio Network. Matt Pinto is back as play-by-play announcer for his 17th season behind the Thunder mic.

Eleno Ornelas also returns for his 17th season calling Thunder home games in Spanish on WKY 930 AM in Oklahoma City. Those Spanish home game radio broadcasts are also available as the secondary audio program (SAP) on FanDuel Sports Network.
