DAZN is expanding its presence in the United States after reaching an agreement with MSG Networks and YES Network to integrate their regional sports channels into its streaming platform for the 2026-27 season.
The deal will allow subscribers within the networks’ regional broadcast territories to watch live local games involving several major New York sports franchises, including the New York Yankees (MLB), New York Knicks (NBA), Brooklyn Nets (NBA), New York Rangers (NHL), New Jersey Devils (NHL), New York Islanders (NHL) and Buffalo Sabres (NHL).
In addition to live games, DAZN will offer 24/7 streams of MSG, MSG Sportsnet and YES Network, alongside an extensive library of on-demand content, including highlights, behind-the-scenes programming and original series. The channels were previously available through the Gotham Sports app.
DAZN CEO Shay Segev said New York has one of the richest sporting traditions in the United States and described the partnership as an opportunity to bring Yankees, Knicks, Rangers, Nets, Devils, Islanders and Sabres content to more fans through DAZN’s direct-to-consumer platform.
YES Network President and CEO Jon Litner said DAZN provides a world-class technology platform and premium live sports streaming experience, adding that the partnership will continue delivering high-quality content to fans of the Yankees, Nets and MSG Networks’ teams.
Kevin Marotta, Senior Vice President of Content and Marketing at MSG Networks, said the company is pleased to make its programming available through DAZN’s global streaming platform, offering fans another way to access its sports content.
The agreement further strengthens DAZN’s U.S. media portfolio as the company continues to expand beyond international football into premium domestic sports rights.
