The NBA has released its 2026-27 regular season schedule. It's one of the bigger events of the offseason as we hit the slow portion of the calendar year. Now, we know how things will shake out for the Oklahoma City Thunder in terms of when and where they'll play.
Once again, the Thunder will enjoy the fewest back-to-back sets. They only have 13 in the 2026-27 regular season. That's tied for the fewest number. The most an NBA team can have is 16. Five are home-and-home, four are road-and-road, two are home-and-road and two are road-and-home.
It'll be interesting to see how the Thunder handle the back-to-back workload. In years past, they just depended on their rich depth to carry them to wins. Even if they were without an important piece. But after they spent the summer cost-cutting, that strength will be tested.
The Thunder enter the 2026-27 regular season as co-title favorites — alongside the San Antonio Spurs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren round out one of the top trios in the NBA. They already have one championship under their belt. They look to add more.
