It may feel like the Oklahoma City Thunder just won the NBA championship, but a new season is already here.

Reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder defeated the Indiana Pacers in a thrilling seven-game series to capture the franchise's first Larry O'Brien Trophy since moving to Oklahoma City, and they are in a great position to pursue back-to-back titles. However, a few other contenders will be looking to knock OKC off its throne.

The Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves will be chasing down the Thunder in the Western Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks are among the teams expected to compete for the Eastern Conference crown.

There will be entertaining matchups on each night of the 2025-26 schedule. If you want to watch as many games as possible, it's time to buy an NBA League Pass subscription.
