Thunder Enter 15-Year Arena Naming Rights Agreement With Paycom

The Oklahoma City Thunder will now play in the Paycom Center after new naming rights deal.

On Tuesday morning, the Thunder and Paycom jointly announced an exclusive, 15-year naming rights partnership that will transform the downtown home of the Thunder into Paycom Center.

The name change is set to take place immediately, with exterior signage to be completed in time for the start of the 2021-22 NBA season, where fans will once again be allowed back into the arena for games.
