OKC Thunder to broadcast through FanDuel Sports Network for 2024-25 season
The Oklahoma City Thunder will once again find a broadcasting home in Diamond Sports — just not as Bally Sports.
On Friday, Diamond Sports Group and FanDuel publicly announced their agreement to rebrand the Diamond RSN as FanDuel Sports Network, abandoning the Bally Sports moniker. The rebrand becomes official on Monday, Oct. 21.
The Thunder will move forward with Diamond and FanDuel, with 75 games scheduled to be broadcast on the fresh-faced network. Local channel positions won’t change.
“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 Steve Simpson, the network’s senior vice president and general manager. “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.”
On top of being available through local cable, satellite and streaming providers, the Thunder’s games will also stream on the FanDuel Sports Network app and its site, FanDuelSportsNetwork.com.

The Thunder will simulcast five over-the-air games with Griffin Media stations, available both on the FanDuel Sports Network and through local stations in Oklahoma City (KSBI 52, KWTV 9) and Tulsa (CW 19, KOTV 6).
Dec. 31 vs Minnesota Timberwolves; Feb. 1 vs Sacramento Kings; Feb. 8 vs Memphis Grizzlies; March 15 at Detroit Pistons; March 29 vs Indiana Pacers are the five simulcast games.
The Thunder’s broadcast team will remain the same, with Chris Fisher, Michael Cage, Nick Gallo and Paris Lawson returning for the upcoming season.
“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.”
