The Oklahoma City Thunder host the New Orleans Pelicans at BOK Center on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026. BOK Center lists doors at 6 p.m. and the event start at 7:00 p.m. The Thunder’s game page lists the same tip as 7:00 p.m. CDT at BOK Center in Tulsa. The arena page calls it a 2026 preseason game and says it will be the Thunder’s 16th preseason game in Tulsa. Tickets are on sale now. Neither page prints a ticket price.
