While it may be freezing outside, indoor sports are bigger and better than ever this month.

In Tulsa, the Oilers take to the ice at the BOK Center January 2-4 and 16-17. If you’d instead like to watch some remote-controlled car races, head over to Expo Square for the RC Chili Bowl, Jan. 7-17. In conjunction, the Chili Bowl Nationals run Jan. 12-17, when spectators can enjoy indoor dirt track sprint car racing – often dubbed “Racing’s Winter Super Bowl” for dirt racing. Stick around Expo Square for the American Finals Rodeo, Jan. 29-31, or loop back around to the BOK Center on Jan. 23-24 for PRB (Professional Bull Riding). 

In Oklahoma City, NBA champs the OKC Thunder play at the Paycom Center all month long, alongside the G-League OKC Blue. Venture to the OKC State Fair Park for the 2026 Cattlemen’s Congress on Jan. 3-15 – North America’s largest cattle show, bringing together cattlemen to showcase, market and sell production cattle. Lastly, head to Lazy E Arena in Guthrie on Jan. 15-18 for the International Finals Rodeo, where the top 15 cowboys and cowgirls from across the U.S. and Canada compete for world championship titles.
