Crossing off another yearly milestone in the summer, the NBA has dropped its entire 2026-27 regular season schedule. The Oklahoma City Thunder now know how things shake out in the marathon-esque slate as they play every other night for seven months. The Thunder enter the 2026-27 season as a co-title favorite — alongside the San Antonio Spurs.
Even with a summer filled with cost-cutting moves, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren are a star-studded nucleus that’ll keep them in the conversation. Because of that, the Thunder are one of the NBA’s main characters again. They have the fifth-most national TV games at 30 in the 2026-27 regular season. Only the New York Knicks, Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers are ahead at the maximum allowed 34 apiece. Let’s break down OKC’s national TV schedule.
