DAZN in the U.S. has sealed a deal to become the exclusive DTC home of MSG Networks and YES Network for the 2026-27 NBA and NHL seasons.
MSG Networks serves the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania area with content around the New York Knicks, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils and Buffalo Sabres. The YES Network, a regional sports network, owns the exclusive regional media rights to the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Nets.
Subscribers who receive MSG Networks or the YES Network as part of their pay-TV subscription will continue to receive MSG and YES content, as applicable, via the DAZN platform at no additional cost. Current users of The Gotham Sports App will continue to receive uninterrupted access as users are migrated to DAZN.
In addition to live coverage of games featuring the Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Devils, Islanders and Sabres, the platform will deliver 24/7 feeds of MSG, MSG Sportsnet, and YES Network, plus on-demand content, including highlights, behind-the-scenes programming, and original series.
“The New York sports landscape has a rich heritage of teams, and DAZN is honored to partner with both the YES Network and MSG Networks to become their exclusive direct-to-consumer streaming home, bringing the Yankees, Knicks, Rangers, Nets, Devils, Islanders, and Sabres to more fans than ever before,” said Shay Segev, CEO of DAZN Group. “This is what DAZN does best—connecting fans to the sport they love and creating immersive digital experiences that go far beyond the game. It is a defining moment for us and underscores our commitment to expanding our footprint in the United States.”
Jon Litner, president and CEO of YES Network, added, “Our new strategic partnership with DAZN reflects the YES Network’s continued commitment to elevate the streaming experience for our direct-to-consumer subscribers and TV Everywhere users. DAZN offers a world-class technology platform and elite, live sports streaming expertise, and we look forward to working with them and MSG Networks to continue to serve Yankees and Nets fans, as well as fans of the teams carried by MSG, with the most compelling sports content in the country.”
“DAZN is a premier streaming platform that operates all over the world and we couldn’t be happier to offer our fans this opportunity to watch MSG Networks content on their state-of-the-art platform,” added Kevin Marotta, SVP of content and marketing at MSG Networks. “Coming off of a historic Knicks Championship season, we are excited to take our streaming offering to the next level. Fans of the Knicks, Rangers, Islanders, Devils and Sabres deserve the best of the best, and we’re proud to offer the MSG and YES direct-to-consumer content through this partnership with DAZN.”
