Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals starts tonight! The Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers will face off in a best-of-seven series to determine this year’s NBA Champion. MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will go up against rising star Tyrese Haliburton as two of the deepest teams in the league fight for supremacy. One franchise or the other will win its first-ever trophy, at least in the current incarnation.

Game 1 will be televised on ABC with a 5:30 PM start time.
