Oklahoma City Thunder learn game times for 2025-26 season opener vs. Houston Rockets, Christmas vs. San Antonio Spurs.
After being left out of both days, the Oklahoma City Thunder are at the forefront for two of the biggest days of the regular season. Ahead of the 2025-26 regular season, the league will have the NBA champion on its schedule for Opening Night and Christmas.
A couple of days before the NBA released its entire 2025-26 regular season schedule, the tipoff times for both regular-season days were announced on the ABC and NBC morning news segments.
The Thunder will host the Houston Rockets for Opening Night on Thursday, Oct. 21. The game will start at 6:30 p.m. CT on NBC and Peacock. Like tradition, the NBA champion will celebrate their accomplishment with a banner drop and ring ceremony. Kevin Durant's attendance adds a kick to it for OKC fans.
Meanwhile, the Thunder will host the San Antonio Spurs on 2025 Christmas. The game will start at 1:30 p.m. CT on ABC and ESPN. Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama headline the contest with the latest chapter to their ongoing rivalry.
In what is otherwise a boring part of the NBA calendar, the regular-season drop gives a desert August an oasis of content. The Thunder will learn their full schedule on Thursday, Aug. 14. They enter next season as a popular pick to repeat as NBA champions.
