DAZN is set to become the exclusive direct-to-consumer streaming platform for telecasts from MSG Networks and the YES Network in New York. Multiple outlets report that, beginning with the 2026–2027 NBA and NHL seasons, DAZN will carry the networks’ linear feeds and on-demand programming tied to their major regional sports properties. The change is described as a major shift in the New York streaming sports marketplace, where rights have increasingly moved among different platforms.
Reports also indicate that the deal covers key teams associated with the networks, including the New York Yankees, New York Knicks, and New York Rangers. In addition to securing these streaming rights, DAZN is also said to be pursuing further NBA-related local rights agreements beyond its initial slate. The transition is expected to occur in the lead-up to the 2026–27 seasons, with the exact rollout timing depending on the contract implementation.
Overall, the announcements frame the move as a consolidation of these New York sports offerings onto a single consumer streaming home for the period covered by the deal.
