In order to watch OKC Thunder games on DIRECTV STREAM, cord cutting sports fans are required to upgrade to the more expensive “Choice” plan.
With DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” Thunder fans can watch Bally Sports Oklahoma, as well as ABC, ESPN, and TNT for streaming the popular NBA on TNT series with Charles Barkley, Shaq, Ernie Johnson, and Kenny Smith. Out-of-market Thunder fans can watch the team on NBA League Pass.
With DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” sports fans in Oklahoma will also be able to watch the St. Louis Cardinals on Bally Sports Midwest, and live stream NFL and college football games on their local ABC, CBS, and FOX affiliates.
Based on analysis of NFL regional coverage maps, we estimate that KOKH-TV FOX 25 Oklahoma City will usually carry the Cowboys game, and KWTV-DT CBS News 9 Oklahoma City will often have the Broncos game.
Fubo carries Bally Sports Oklahoma for watching the Thunder, but is missing TNT which means gaps in nationally televised games.
