List of Oklahoma City Thunder seasons

The Oklahoma City Thunder are a professional basketball team based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They play in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and are a member of the NBA Western Conference's Northwest Division. The Thunder were founded in 1967 as the Seattle SuperSonics as one of two franchises that joined the NBA in the 1967–68 season. The SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City after the 2007–08 season. The move from Seattle to Oklahoma City marks only the third time that a current franchise won a title in one city and moved some time afterwards to another city (the others are the Atlanta Hawks who left St. Louis after winning the 1958 title there, and the Los Angeles Lakers who left Minneapolis after winning five titles there).

Overall, the Thunder have qualified for the NBA playoffs on ten occasions after being relocated from Seattle (22 times as the SuperSonics). They reached the Western Conference Finals seven times, reaching the NBA Finals in 1978, 1979, 1996 and 2012, winning their only championship in the 1979 NBA Finals against the Washington Bullets whilst in Seattle.
