When will OKC Thunder receive championship ring? 2025-26 Opening Night revealed

Over a month since they won the NBA championship, the Oklahoma City Thunder still have one group celebration left to commemorate their playoff run to the Larry O'Brien trophy — receiving their rings.

As the NBA heads on vacation over the next two months with its driest part of the calendar, the Thunder have a pretty good idea of when they'll receive their championship ring. The NBA published its key dates for the 2025-26 regular season.

The Opening Night will be on Tuesday, Oct. 21. If tradition keeps up — which you have every reason to believe it will — the Thunder will play their home opener on that date. Likely in the debut game for the NBC broadcast, as broadcast rights return to the network.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren will headline the Thunder next season once again. All three signed long-term deals this past offseason to keep them in OKC for the foreseeable future. Besides some changes on the bottom of the depth chart, the NBA champion will run it back with basically the same roster in hopes of being a rare repeat winner.

The opponent is unknown. The NBA will release its 2025-26 regular season schedule sometime in August. But you can circle Oct. 21 for when the Thunder will unveil their championship banner and the roster will receive their ring in a pregame ceremony.
