OKC Sports

We take our sports pretty seriously here in OKC. And while the Oklahoma City Thunder have certainly captured our hearts, our passion for sports doesn't end with basketball season. Not by a long shot.

Basketball | OKC Thunder

Ever since our boys in blue arrived in 2008, Oklahoma City has been Thunder-struck. Playing to sell-out crowds, winning four consecutive Northwest Division titles and advancing to the Western Conference Finals, this team’s popularity is skyrocketing both locally and nationally. Want to get in on the Thunder action? Here’s your guide for how to Thunder Up in OKC.

Baseball | OKC Comets

The area’s favorite minor league baseball team is the Oklahoma City Comets, which play at the impressive Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Bricktown. This Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers has won five divisional titles in the past decade and a conference title in 2008 and features some of baseball’s top young talent. The ballpark itself, built in 1998, pays tribute at its entrance to three iconic baseball players with Oklahoma ties, all members of the Baseball Hall of Fame – Mickey Mantle, Johnny Bench and Warren Spahn.

Paddle Sports

The Boathouse District along the Oklahoma River in downtown Oklahoma City is a hot spot for urban recreation. It is also an official U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Site and home of the OKC National High Performance Center for both rowing and canoe/kayak. Be a spectator at several events throughout the year, such as at the USA Canoe/Kayak Sprint National Team Trials in April, the Stars and Stripes River Festival in June and the Oklahoma Regatta Festival in October.

Softball

The National Softball Hall of Fame and Museum, the headquarters of the governing body of USA Softball, is located in Oklahoma City and the adjoining Devon Park hosts the annual NCAA Women’s College World Series. Oklahoma City routinely plays host to the Big 12 conference’s baseball and softball tournaments, while the NCAA also hosts several national championships in the city. Adding to Oklahoma City’s rich softball tradition, the OKC Spark bring elite women’s professional softball to the community as part of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League, providing fans with even more opportunities to experience the sport at the highest level.

Soccer | OKC United

Professional soccer is returning to Oklahoma City with OKC United, with plans to bring men’s, women’s and youth teams to compete at the highest level. Central to this vision is the MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium, a modern venue opening in downtown OKC in 2028. The stadium will seat over 10,000 fans and feature premium amenities and stunning views of the city's skyline. As the centerpiece of a vibrant entertainment district, this world-class facility will deliver an unforgettable experience for soccer fans and visitors alike. The OKC United will begin playing at the new MAPS 4 stadium in time for the 2028 USL Championship League season.
