Thunder+ Launches Local Game Access | Fayetteville Arkansas News

The Oklahoma City Thunder just dropped a game-changer for fans in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley: Thunder+, a new streaming service launching in 2026 that’ll stream 67 regular-season games, bypassing traditional blackout rules. Available via the NBA App or DirecTV, it’s part of the broader Thunder Gameday Network — and marks a bold move as regional sports networks vanish. Partnering with Griffin Media, this is the first time the team has its own local TV home, giving locals direct access to every game — except 15 nationally televised ones. It’s a smart, fan-first response to shifting broadcast norms, following the Mavericks’ lead with their own MavsTV platform.
