DAZN Secures Exclusive Streaming Rights to YES and MSG Networks

MSG Networks and YES Network have entered into a landmark partnership that will make DAZN, the world’s leading sports entertainment platform, 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 networks, and a wealth of on-demand content including highlights, behind-the-scenes programming and Emmy Award-winning 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 uninterrupted access to the content they love as YES and MSG prepare to migrate users to DAZN during the 2026-2027 NBA and NHL seasons. Exact timing and other details of the migration will be announced in the coming months.

The partnership is a significant move for DAZN, strengthening its role in the US market as the home of some of America’s most beloved franchises in the largest sports market with dedicated and passionate fans. Over the years, DAZN has made a name for itself within the US sports landscape as the go-to platform for combat sports, airing 185+ fight nights a year with some of the sport’s top talent and promoters, and world-class soccer leagues and competitions, such as the UEFA Champions League and FIFA+. Outside the US, DAZN also brings the most popular US sports to huge international audiences, including NFL Game Pass, NHL.TV, the NBA and NCAA college football and basketball.
