Thunder Parade 2025 Route, Date, Schedule, TV Info and More

For the first time ever, Oklahoma City will host a championship parade.

After the Thunder clinched the title against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, details for the team's championship parade were revealed.

The city announced that the parade will take place on Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. CT. Ahead of the parade, the team will be at Paycom Center alongside the Larry O'Brien Trophy. While the ceremony inside Paycom Center won't be open to the public, it will air live on local TV stations and on the team's YouTube channel.

The Thunder cruised past the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round before a hard-fought seven-game series against the Denver Nuggets. After outlasting the Nuggets, they got past the Minnesota Timberwolves to reach the Finals.

The Finals series was far from easy, but OKC ultimately had enough to outlast the Pacers in seven games.

“The day of the parade will forever live in the annals of our city’s history,” Mayor David Holt said. “It is a celebration of our team’s historic accomplishment and our city’s renaissance. All Thunder fans from across the city, state and world are invited. I encourage all employers and entities in OKC to allow availability for all to attend, to the greatest extent possible. For those attending, please recognize the extraordinary and unprecedented magnitude of the event and expect long periods of time and significant walking for ingress and egress. And for downtown businesses and entities, please recognize that normal operations will not be possible on Tuesday. Let’s Thunder Up, OKC! WE are the champions!”

While this year's championship isn't the first for the franchise since it previously won as the Seattle SuperSonics in 1979, it marks the first since the team moved to Oklahoma City in 2008.

The team was on the brink of a title in 2012 with Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden leading the way, but came up short against the LeBron James and Dwyane Wade-led Miami Heat.

Now, 13 years later, the Larry O'Brien Trophy belongs to Oklahoma City.
