DAZN, the sports streaming platform, has announced a deal that will make it the exclusive direct-to-consumer streaming home of MSG Networks and YES Network during the 2026-2027 NBA and NHL seasons.

Subscribers within the networks’ respective regional coverage territories will have access to live Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Devils, Islanders and Sabres games, as well as 24/7 feeds of the MSG, MSG Sportsnet, and YES Network, and a library of on-demand content including highlights, behind-the-scenes programming and original series.

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 access to content as YES and MSG prepare to migrate users to DAZN during the 2026-2027 NBA and NHL seasons.

The deal strengthens DAZN’s role in the US market as the home of some of America’s biggest franchises in sport.

Shay Segev, CEO, DAZN Group, commented: “The New York sports landscape has a rich heritage of teams and DAZN is honoured to partner with both the YES Network and MSG Networks to become their exclusive direct-to-consumer streaming home […] 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, YES Network, said: “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.”

Coming off of a historic Knicks Championship season, we are excited to take our streaming offering to the next level.
