About New York
Live sports & events in New York
New York City is the deepest live sports market in the United States and one of the densest in the world. Madison Square Garden anchors the arena calendar with the Knicks and Rangers, two of the most storied franchises in American sports. Across the East River, Barclays Center handles a parallel arena schedule with Nets and Liberty games. Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and Citi Field in Queens keep baseball running from April through October, with the Subway Series rivalry drawing national attention. MetLife Stadium across the river in New Jersey hosts both the Giants and Jets NFL games — one of only two stadiums shared by two NFL teams. The US Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows adds world-class tennis to the late-summer calendar. College basketball fills the Garden with Big East tournament action every March. The Mets, Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders, Giants, Jets, NYCFC, and Red Bulls keep pro sports going year-round, with rivalry-week tickets among the toughest to land in American sports. NYCFC and the Red Bulls fuel a growing MLS presence, while the Islanders at UBS Arena on Long Island round out the NHL calendar.

Inside New York
New York City runs the biggest pro-sports market in North America, and most nights it is not even close. Five boroughs, the surrounding metro area, and a venue grid that stretches from Madison Square Garden in Midtown to Barclays Center in Brooklyn to Yankee Stadium in the Bronx — there is no other city on the continent that fields this many teams across this many leagues at once.
The arena and stadium tier alone covers most of the calendar. The Garden hosts the Knicks (NBA) and Rangers (NHL) above Penn Station from October into spring.
Barclays Center runs the Nets (NBA) across the East River in Brooklyn. Yankee Stadium in the Bronx is home to the Yankees (MLB) and also hosts NYCFC (MLS) and college football's Pinstripe Bowl.
Citi Field in Queens handles the Mets (MLB). MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, just across the Hudson, hosts both the Giants and Jets (NFL).
The metro-area depth runs further still. The Islanders (NHL) play at UBS Arena in Elmont on Long Island, the Devils (NHL) at Prudential Center in Newark, and the Red Bulls (MLS) at Red Bull Arena in Harrison.
College hoops fills the Garden every March with the Big East Tournament, and the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows hosts the US Open every late summer. Add the New York City Marathon through all five boroughs and the constant churn of rivalry weekends and playoff pushes, and there is no stretch of the calendar without a major game on somewhere in the city.
What's happening in New York right now
The event grid on this page pulls live listings for every confirmed New York game on sale right now, sorted by date with the soonest at the top. Use the team and league filters to narrow it down to baseball, basketball, hockey, football, or soccer, or scroll the full slate if you are open on what to catch.
Each card links straight through to ticket availability so you can check seats and price without bouncing between sites. New York runs on a different sports rhythm than most cities because so many seasons overlap.
From April into October the Yankees and Mets fill weeknights and weekend series at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field. From October into spring the Knicks and Rangers stack home dates at the Garden, the Nets play at Barclays, and the Islanders and Devils run their schedules at UBS Arena and Prudential Center.
NFL Sundays at MetLife belong to the Giants and Jets on alternating home weeks through the fall. Borough patterns matter for planning.
Midtown around Times Square is where the Garden clusters with the transit hub, so getting in and out is easiest there. The Bronx around Yankee Stadium and Queens around Citi Field both sit right on subway lines built to move crowds.
Brooklyn's Barclays Center sits over the Atlantic Avenue hub where nine subway lines and the LIRR converge. For Long Island games the LIRR runs straight to UBS Arena at Belmont Park.
Check the listings, pick a team, and you can usually line up a game on most nights of the week.
Airports, transit, and how visiting fans get around New York
Three major airports feed the New York region, and the right choice depends on which venue you are heading to. John F.
Kennedy in Queens connects to the AirTrain and the subway or LIRR, making it convenient for Citi Field, UBS Arena on Long Island, and most Manhattan hotels. LaGuardia, also in Queens, is the closest airport to Citi Field and offers quick rideshare access to Manhattan, though the new AirTrain replacement project means transit options keep shifting.
Newark Liberty across the river in New Jersey is often the best landing spot for MetLife Stadium, since NJ Transit trains from Newark Penn Station run directly to the Meadowlands on game days. Once in the city, the subway is the workhorse of New York sports travel and reaches every Manhattan and outer-borough venue, with Madison Square Garden sitting directly above Penn Station and Barclays Center stacked over the Atlantic Avenue hub in Brooklyn.
Yankee Stadium has its own Metro-North and subway stops on the 4, B, and D lines, and Citi Field is a straight shot on the 7 train from Midtown. For MetLife, the dedicated train from Secaucus Junction is by far the smoothest option on game day, since stadium traffic backs up for miles.
Rideshare works for late-night returns but expect surge pricing after big events and long pickup queues in designated lots. Visiting fans who plan to bounce between boroughs are usually best served by a refillable OMNY tap card and comfortable walking shoes, since the subway combined with short walks beats taxis through Manhattan traffic almost every time.
Accessibility at New York venues and on transit
Accessibility in New York has improved sharply at venues even as the subway continues to catch up, so planning matters. Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, UBS Arena, and MetLife Stadium all offer accessible seating in multiple price tiers, wheelchair and companion seating throughout the bowl, accessible restrooms on every concourse, and assistive listening devices available at guest services.
When buying tickets, look for the official accessible seating option in the venue map rather than reselling channels, since accessible seats are typically released through the team or the box office to confirm eligibility and seating partners. Most venues also provide elevator access from main entries to upper levels, designated drop-off zones for paratransit and rideshare, and sensory rooms or quiet spaces for fans who need a break from the noise, with details listed on each venue accessibility page.
The subway is the trickier piece of the puzzle, since only a portion of stations have elevators, but key hubs near sports venues, including Penn Station, Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center, Yankee Stadium 161st Street, Mets-Willets Point, and Times Square, are accessible to varying degrees. The MTA Accessible Stations map and the official app help riders plan step-free routes, and Access-A-Ride paratransit, LIRR, Metro-North, and NJ Transit all offer accessible service to the major stadium clusters.
Rideshare apps offer wheelchair-accessible vehicle options, though availability and wait times vary by borough and time of day. Visitors using mobility devices should arrive earlier than usual, since accessible entrances are sometimes located away from the main gates and elevators inside venues can back up during peak arrival windows just before first pitch or tipoff.
Where to eat before and after games in New York
Eating around a New York sporting event is part of the trip, and the city rewards fans who plan beyond the concourse. Around Madison Square Garden, the blocks of Midtown and the edge of Koreatown offer everything from old-school steakhouses and Italian red sauce joints to late-night Korean barbecue and dumpling counters, all within a short walk of the arena.
The Bronx around Yankee Stadium leans heavily on classic American sports bars, pizza by the slice, and Dominican and Puerto Rican spots along Grand Concourse and the side streets east of the park, where pre-game lines move quickly and prices stay reasonable. Citi Field sits next to Flushing, one of the great food neighborhoods in North America, so visiting fans can detour into hand-pulled noodles, Sichuan, dim sum, and Korean fried chicken before hopping on the 7 train back to the stadium.
Around Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Fort Greene, Prospect Heights, and Park Slope corridors are stacked with wood-fired pizza, modern American bistros, beer halls, and natural wine bars that fill up early on event nights. MetLife visitors usually tailgate in the lots or grab food in Secaucus, since the stadium is not in a walkable neighborhood.
Signature New York moves that travel well on game day include a slice of plain cheese pizza, a halal cart chicken-and-rice plate, a deli pastrami sandwich, and a black-and-white cookie for the train ride home. Reservations help for sit-down dinners on weekend game nights, but the strength of New York is that almost every neighborhood around a venue offers a strong walk-in option if you are willing to wander a few blocks off the main avenue.
Year-round weather and what to pack for New York sports trips
New York runs a true four-season climate, and the matchday calendar leans into every extreme. Baseball season at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field opens in chilly, often raw early April weather, when game-time temperatures in the Bronx and Flushing can sit close to freezing under the lights, then settles into humid, occasionally stormy mid-summer afternoons that turn the bleachers into a sweat box.
Football Sundays at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford swing from crisp, jacket-weather October games to bitter late-December and January contests where wind howls across the open bowl and effective wind chills can drop well below the posted temperature. Basketball and hockey season at Madison Square Garden and UBS Arena spans November through spring, so visiting fans usually arrive in heavy coat weather, sometimes pushing through snow or freezing rain on the walk from Penn Station.
The smartest packing strategy is layers built around a waterproof shell, a warm mid-layer, and shoes that handle slush, since you will likely walk more in New York than you planned. Summer visitors should pack breathable fabrics, a refillable water bottle, and sunscreen for day games, while shoulder-season travelers benefit from a light scarf and gloves that pack flat.
Check forecasts the morning of the game rather than the week before, because conditions can flip from sunny to thunderstorm inside a few hours, and outdoor venues rarely call games until the rain actually arrives. For January playoff trips, treat it like a true cold-weather destination and bring thermal base layers, hand warmers, and a hat you do not mind getting wet.
Safety and matchday awareness in New York
New York is, statistically, one of the safer large cities in the world for visitors, but it is also dense, crowded, and full of moving parts on game days, so awareness matters more than fear. Around major venues like Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, and UBS Arena, you will see a heavy uniformed police presence before and after events, along with private stadium security, traffic agents, and clearly marked exit routes.
Keep your phone, wallet, and tickets in front pockets or a zipped bag rather than back pockets, especially in packed subway cars and crowded concourses where pickpocketing is the most common nuisance crime tourists face. Late-night subway rides home from a game are generally fine, but stick to busier cars near the conductor, avoid empty platforms when possible, and use the official MTA app to plan transfers so you are not standing on a quiet platform reading a paper map.
Around stadium parking lots and transit hubs, ignore unofficial ticket resellers and anyone offering rides outside the rideshare app pickup zones, since both are the leading sources of trouble for visiting fans. If you are drinking, pace yourself across the night, eat before and after the game, and keep an eye on travel companions in the crowd surge at exits.
Neighborhoods around venues are largely residential and busy, but a few blocks in any direction can shift the feel of the streets, so trust your instincts and stay on well-lit avenues. In an emergency, dial 911, and remember that NYC subway stations have help points and station agents who can assist visitors.
Family and kid-friendly sports experiences in New York
New York is a strong city for traveling families, and most of its major venues actively cater to younger fans. Yankee Stadium and Citi Field both run kid-focused promotions throughout the baseball season, including weekend giveaways, designated family sections, and on-field run-the-bases events after select games, all of which are popular enough that families should plan the day around them.
Citi Field also has a small play area and the Mets Hall of Fame near the rotunda that gives kids a break from sitting through nine innings, while Yankee Stadium offers Monument Park tours that turn into a history lesson with a payoff. Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center both sell family-friendly seat clusters higher up in the bowl where sightlines remain strong, sound levels are slightly easier on younger ears, and bathroom lines move faster than the lower levels.
For pure spectacle, a Rangers or Islanders game introduces kids to live hockey with anthem rituals, organ music, and a goal horn that travels home with them in their memory. Soccer fans can take younger kids to NYCFC or the Red Bulls, where the matchday atmosphere is energetic but the run of play is easier to follow than a fast indoor sport.
Tactically, families should arrive early to avoid security crush, pack a refillable water bottle if the venue allows it, and bring noise-reducing earmuffs for very young children at hockey and basketball games. Choose seats on the aisle for easy bathroom and snack runs, and consider weekday afternoon games when crowds are smaller, lines are shorter, and the entire experience is more manageable for a first sports outing with kids.
Tips for first-time sports visitors to New York
First-time visitors usually underestimate two things about a New York sports trip: how long everything takes, and how much walking is involved. Build extra time into every leg of the day, especially the transition from your hotel to the venue, because subway delays, street closures around big events, and basic Manhattan foot traffic can quickly eat thirty minutes you thought you had.
Buy mobile tickets in advance and screenshot them before you leave Wi-Fi, since cell service inside packed arenas and stadium tunnels is unreliable. Treat the subway as your primary transportation rather than a backup plan, and use OMNY contactless payment at the turnstile so you are not waiting in line for a paper card.
Dress for the weather you will face walking back to transit after the final whistle, not just the temperature during the game, since night games in shoulder season are noticeably colder than the afternoon. Familiarize yourself with the security policy at your venue ahead of time, because most New York stadiums and arenas use clear bag rules and metal detectors, and arriving without a compliant bag can mean a slow detour to bag check.
Tip generously at bars and restaurants, since service workers in the city rely on it, and remember that prices climb sharply on game nights inside the venue compared to a pre-game stop a few blocks away. Finally, do not try to cram four neighborhoods, a museum, and a Knicks game into one day.
Visitors who pick one borough, one venue, and one good meal almost always leave happier than those who try to conquer the whole map in a weekend.
Browse by category
Pro sports & big games
New York fields more major pro teams than any other market in North America, and the marquee tier of games is unmatched. Madison Square Garden handles the Knicks (NBA) and Rangers (NHL) above Penn Station.
Barclays Center runs the Nets (NBA) across the East River in Brooklyn. Yankee Stadium in the Bronx hosts the Yankees (MLB), NYCFC (MLS), and the Pinstripe Bowl, while Citi Field in Queens hosts the Mets (MLB).
MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford handles both NFL teams, the Giants and Jets. The metro tier adds the Islanders (NHL) at UBS Arena in Elmont, the Devils (NHL) at Prudential Center in Newark, and the Red Bulls (MLS) at Red Bull Arena in Harrison.
Add the Big East Tournament at the Garden every March and the US Open in Flushing every summer, and the calendar coverage is total.
Baseball
New York is a two-team baseball city. The Yankees (MLB) play in the American League East at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, the most decorated franchise in the sport, from Opening Day in late March or early April through a regular season that runs into October and, in most years, deep into the postseason.
The Mets (MLB) play in the National League East at Citi Field in Queens on the same calendar. The two meet several times a year in the Subway Series, the marquee crosstown rivalry on the local schedule.
Weekday games and series against non-rival opponents are the easiest walk-ups and the best resale value; weekend series, Subway Series dates, and any playoff game command the steepest premiums. Both ballparks sit directly on dedicated subway lines built to move crowds in and out.
Hockey
New York is a deep hockey market with three NHL teams in the metro area. The Rangers play at Madison Square Garden above Penn Station, one of the Original Six franchises and the marquee local draw, with a season that runs from October into spring and, in most years, the playoffs into May or June.
The Islanders play at UBS Arena in Elmont, on Long Island next to Belmont Park, reachable by a dedicated LIRR stop. The Devils play just across the Hudson at Prudential Center in Newark.
The Rangers-Islanders and Rangers-Devils matchups carry real rivalry weight on the regional schedule. Garden hockey tickets move fastest and run highest on the resale market; Islanders and Devils games tend to have more availability and softer pricing, especially midweek.
Sports games
New York hosts more major pro teams than any other metro area in North America. The Yankees (MLB) play at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and the Mets (MLB) at Citi Field in Queens, from late March through a regular season that runs into October.
The Knicks (NBA) and Rangers (NHL) share Madison Square Garden from October through spring, with playoffs into May and June. The Nets (NBA) play at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Islanders (NHL) at UBS Arena in Elmont, and the Devils (NHL) at Prudential Center in Newark.
The Giants and Jets (NFL) both play at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, a quick train ride from Penn Station. NYCFC and the Red Bulls (MLS) round out the soccer side.
Knicks and Rangers tickets move fast and command secondary-market premiums; Yankees and Mets are easier walk-ups outside of marquee opponents and the playoffs.
Football
New York is the only market with two NFL teams sharing a single building. The Giants and Jets both play at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in the Meadowlands, alternating home Sundays through a regular season that runs September into early January.
Most kickoffs land at 1 pm, with the occasional late-afternoon, Sunday-night, Monday-night, or Thursday-night slot. Tailgating runs in the MetLife parking lots, and the stadium is reachable by a short NJ Transit rail ride to the Meadowlands from Penn Station on game days.
College football appears at Yankee Stadium each December for the Pinstripe Bowl. Single-game tickets for both NFL teams sell through the team accounts and the resale market; divisional rivalry games and any matchup with a marquee visiting team carry the highest prices of the season.
Basketball
New York is a two-team NBA market plus the spiritual home of the college game. The Knicks play at Madison Square Garden above Penn Station, one of the league's flagship franchises, from October through a regular season that runs into April and the playoffs into the spring.
The Nets play across the East River at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on the same calendar. The two meet several times a year in a growing crosstown rivalry.
College basketball is woven into the city too: the Big East Tournament takes over the Garden every March, St. John's plays home games there and on campus in Queens, and the Garden hosts marquee non-conference matchups all winter.
Knicks games are the hottest ticket in town and run highest on the resale market; Nets games and weeknight college dates are far easier to get into at face value.
Soccer
New York anchors the New York metro soccer scene with two MLS clubs. New York City FC (NYCFC) play home matches primarily at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, sharing the venue with the Yankees through the overlapping spring-to-fall MLS season.
The New York Red Bulls play at Red Bull Arena, a soccer-specific stadium in Harrison, New Jersey, reachable by PATH train from lower Manhattan. The two meet several times a year in the Hudson River Derby, the region's main soccer rivalry.
The MLS regular season runs from late winter through the fall, with the playoffs into the cold months. Single-match tickets for both clubs are widely available and generally far cheaper than the major-league games in town; derby matches, rivalry weekends, and playoff dates draw the biggest crowds and the firmest pricing.
College & marquee events
Beyond the pro teams, New York hosts some of the biggest annual events in sports. The US Open tennis championships fill the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows from late August into early September, the largest single-venue sporting event in the country.
The Big East men's basketball tournament takes over Madison Square Garden in mid-March, drawing fan bases from across the Northeast. St.
John's is the city's headline college basketball program, splitting home games between the Garden and its Queens campus. College football closes the year with the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium each December.
The New York City Marathon runs through all five boroughs on the first Sunday of November, with more than 50,000 runners. These events sell out well in advance, so plan tickets early.
Top neighborhoods
Midtown / Penn Station
Midtown around Penn Station is home to Madison Square Garden, the single busiest arena in the country, sitting directly above the rail hub on Seventh Avenue between West 31st and 33rd. The Garden hosts the Knicks (NBA) and Rangers (NHL) on most winter nights, the Big East Tournament every March, and St.
John's college basketball. Bars and sports pubs around the arena fill up before tip-off and puck drop, with the Hudson Yards food hall and the restaurants along West 33rd handling large pre-game groups.
The 1, 2, 3, A, C, and E trains all stop at Penn Station underneath the building, and the LIRR and NJ Transit feed straight in, making it the most transit-accessible game-day district in the city.
The Bronx — Yankee Stadium
The South Bronx around 161st Street is home to Yankee Stadium, opened in 2009 across the street from the original ballpark site. The stadium hosts the Yankees (MLB) from late March into October, NYCFC (MLS) matches through the overlapping season, and the Pinstripe Bowl college football game each December.
The blocks around the stadium fill with fans on game days, and the sports bars and food spots along River Avenue under the elevated tracks handle the pre-game and post-game rush. Macombs Dam Park and the riverfront sit just beyond the outfield.
The 4, B, and D trains stop at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium, putting Midtown about 20 minutes away, and Metro-North runs a dedicated Yankees-E. 153rd Street stop on game days.
Brooklyn — Barclays Center
Downtown Brooklyn around Atlantic Avenue is home to Barclays Center, which opened in 2012 and anchors the borough's pro-sports scene. The arena hosts the Nets (NBA) through the winter and into the spring, and it has hosted college basketball, boxing, and other marquee events across the calendar.
The blocks around the arena along Flatbush and Atlantic are dense with bars and restaurants that fill before tip-off, and the adjacent Prospect Heights and Fort Greene neighborhoods add more options a short walk away. The Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center hub is one of the best-connected stations in the city, with the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q, R, and the Long Island Rail Road all converging directly beneath the building.
Queens — Citi Field & Flushing
Flushing in northeast Queens is New York's other ballpark district, home to Citi Field, which opened in 2009 as the Mets' home (MLB) and seats around 41,000. Next door sits the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, where the US Open is played every late summer in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the largest tennis-only venue in the world.
The two share Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, so a baseball summer and a tennis fortnight overlap in the same corner of the borough. Game-day food runs from the ballpark concessions to the celebrated dumpling and noodle shops of nearby Flushing Chinatown.
The 7 train runs from Times Square out to the Mets-Willets Point stop in about 30 minutes, and the LIRR Port Washington line adds a dedicated game-day stop.
The Meadowlands — MetLife Stadium
The Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, just across the Hudson, is home to MetLife Stadium, the largest NFL stadium by capacity and the only one shared by two teams — the Giants and Jets, alternating home Sundays through the fall. The stadium also hosts major soccer internationals, college football, and other marquee events, and it is slated to host the FIFA World Cup final in 2026.
Tailgating fills the sprawling parking lots before kickoff, the long-standing pregame ritual at Meadowlands games. There is little walkable district around the stadium itself, so most fans arrive by car or by the NJ Transit Meadowlands rail line, which runs game-day trains from Secaucus Junction with a direct connection from Penn Station in Manhattan.
Long Island — UBS Arena & Newark
Two more pro arenas sit just beyond the city line. UBS Arena, which opened in 2021 at Belmont Park in Elmont on the Nassau County border, is the home of the Islanders (NHL), with a dedicated LIRR station, Elmont-UBS Arena, that runs game-day trains straight from Penn Station and Brooklyn's Atlantic Terminal.
Across the Hudson, Prudential Center in downtown Newark is home to the Devils (NHL) and also hosts Seton Hall college basketball; it sits steps from Newark Penn Station, reachable by PATH or NJ Transit from Manhattan in about half an hour. Both arenas are modern, transit-connected buildings that let New York hockey fans follow three NHL teams without ever needing a car.
What's on by month
January
January is the heart of the winter season. Knicks and Rangers home games run most nights at Madison Square Garden, the Nets play at Barclays Center, and the Islanders and Devils are deep into their schedules at UBS Arena and Prudential Center.
NFL playoff weekends dominate the sports conversation across the city. With baseball and outdoor sports dormant, indoor arena games are the core of the calendar all month.
February
February is peak arena season. The Knicks and Rangers continue their home stretch at the Garden, the Nets at Barclays, and the Islanders and Devils across the metro area, all pushing toward the playoff picture.
The NBA reaches the midpoint of its season around the All-Star break. Pitchers and catchers report to MLB spring training in Florida late in the month, the first sign that the Yankees and Mets are getting close to baseball.
March
March is one of the best months on the New York sports calendar. The Big East Tournament fills Madison Square Garden with college basketball in mid-March, drawing fan bases from across the Northeast, and the wider NCAA Tournament dominates the season.
The Knicks, Rangers, Nets, Islanders, and Devils all push toward their playoff seeds. Yankees and Mets spring training games run in Florida, with the regular-season home openers landing at the end of the month or in early April.
April
Baseball returns. The Yankees and Mets open their home seasons in early April at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, and the Subway Series and weekend series fill the calendar all month.
NHL and NBA playoffs typically begin in mid-April — when the Knicks, Rangers, Nets, Islanders, or Devils are in, the city turns into one giant viewing party. The MLS season is in full swing, with NYCFC and the Red Bulls playing weekend matches across the metro area.
May
May is when the seasons overlap most. Yankees and Mets home schedules are in full run at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, often with warm-weather weekend series and the Subway Series in the mix.
NBA and NHL playoffs reach the conference rounds, and a deep Knicks or Rangers run keeps the Garden packed into late spring. NYCFC and the Red Bulls play through the heart of the MLS season, including Hudson River Derby weekends.
June
June is a baseball month with the Yankees and Mets playing nearly every day at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, including marquee interleague and division series. The NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Final wrap up the basketball and hockey seasons early in the month, and a Rangers or Knicks run that reaches that stage keeps the city locked in.
MLS continues through the summer, with NYCFC at Yankee Stadium and the Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena drawing strong weekend crowds.
July
July is all baseball. Yankees and Mets home games dominate the calendar at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, with July 4th day games a long-running holiday tradition.
The MLB All-Star break falls mid-month, pausing the season for a few days before the stretch run begins. MLS continues through the summer heat, and the season is otherwise quiet on the football, basketball, and hockey fronts as those leagues sit in their offseason.
August
August brings the US Open. The tennis championships begin in late August at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, the biggest sporting event of the New York summer, running through early September.
The Yankees and Mets are in their pennant-race stretch run at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field. NFL preseason games at MetLife give the first look at the Giants and Jets, and MLS continues its summer schedule across the metro area.
September
September is the busiest cross-sport month of the year. The US Open final weekend lands in early September at Flushing Meadows.
The NFL season kicks off, with the Giants and Jets opening their home schedules at MetLife Stadium. The Yankees and Mets play out the final weeks of the MLB regular season at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, with playoff positioning on the line.
MLS heads into its closing stretch, setting up the playoff field.
October
October stacks the seasons. The NBA and NHL regular seasons start in mid-October — the Knicks and Rangers back at the Garden, the Nets at Barclays, and the Islanders and Devils at UBS Arena and Prudential Center most nights.
The MLB postseason runs all month, and in years the Yankees or Mets reach it, the city locks in for October baseball. The NFL is at midseason with Giants and Jets home Sundays at MetLife, and the MLS playoffs begin.
November
The New York City Marathon runs through all five boroughs on the first Sunday — over 50,000 runners and the largest annual participatory sporting event in the city. The NBA and NHL seasons are in full swing, with the Knicks, Rangers, Nets, Islanders, and Devils all playing regularly across the metro arenas.
The NFL stretch run sees the Giants and Jets hosting Sundays at MetLife, and college basketball ramps up at the Garden as St. John's and visiting programs open the season.
December
December is a winter-sports month with the Knicks, Rangers, Nets, Islanders, and Devils all running busy home schedules through the holidays, including marquee NBA dates around Christmas. The NFL playoff push intensifies with the Giants and Jets fighting for position at MetLife.
College football closes the year with the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium, and the Big East and St. John's college basketball schedules fill the Garden between pro nights.
