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 Baseball Club

The area’s favorite minor league baseball team is the Oklahoma City Baseball Club, which play at the impressive Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, 2 S. Mickey Mantle Dr., 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.

RIVERSPORT

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 USA Hall of Fame Stadium - OGE Energy Field hosts the annual NCAA Women’s College World Series. Located in the heart of the Big 12 Conference, Oklahoma City routinely plays host to the conference’s baseball and softball tournaments. The NCAA also holds several of its championships in Oklahoma City.

 

Soccer | OKC Energy

The United Soccer League (USL) expanded its pro franchise to Oklahoma City in 2014, and the inaugural season of the OKC Energy FC played in front of sold-out, enthusiastic crowds. In 2015, energized fans returned with the same enthusiasm to the newly renovated Taft Stadium, built in 1934, that could accommodate the growing crowds. The Energy have suspended the current season while they await the construction of their new multipurpose stadium, currently scheduled for completion in 2026.
