Sports fans across New York have a major reason to celebrate. DAZN has officially partnered with the YES Network and MSG Networks to become the exclusive direct-to-consumer streaming home for both regional sports networks. As part of the agreement, the Gotham Sports app will shut down, ending one of the most frustrating streaming experiences for New York sports fans.
The new partnership begins with the 2026-27 NBA and NHL seasons, giving fans access to live games, on-demand content, highlights, and original programming through DAZN’s advanced streaming platform.
Gotham Sports App Officially Comes to an End
For years, Gotham Sports struggled to satisfy subscribers. Users regularly complained about buffering, login issues, delayed live streams, and technical glitches. Many fans found the service unreliable, especially during live sporting events.
Although Gotham Sports offered access to the YES Network and MSG Networks, its performance often disappointed customers. The app charged premium prices while delivering an inconsistent viewing experience.
The transition to DAZN marks a significant upgrade for sports fans who expect reliable streaming and modern technology.

Cable Subscribers Receive DAZN at No Extra Cost
One of the biggest advantages of the agreement benefits existing cable customers.
Fans who already receive the YES Network or MSG Networks through their cable television package will continue watching the channels on DAZN without paying additional fees.
This change allows viewers to watch games on multiple devices away from their cable box while maintaining their existing subscription benefits.
The companies plan to announce the exact migration schedule and additional details in the coming months.
DAZN Pricing Remains Similar
Although DAZN has not announced official pricing, industry sources indicate that subscription costs will remain close to Gotham Sports’ previous plans.
The former Gotham Sports pricing included:
- YES Network: $209.99 annually or $19.99 monthly
- MSG Networks: $279.99 annually or $29.99 monthly
- Combined package: $299.99 annually or $34.99 monthly
Existing subscribers should not expect major pricing changes after the transition.
DAZN Continues Expanding in the United States
DAZN launched in the United States in 2018 and has steadily expanded its sports portfolio. Today, the platform streams more than 140,000 live sporting events annually across more than 200 countries and territories.
The company has become especially popular for boxing and mixed martial arts coverage, hosting more than 185 fight nights every year. This latest agreement strengthens DAZN’s presence in American professional sports.
DAZN CEO Shay Segev described the partnership as a defining moment for the company’s U.S. expansion. He emphasized the goal of delivering immersive digital experiences while connecting fans with their favorite teams.
Network Executives Welcome the Partnership
YES Network President and CEO Jon Litner praised DAZN’s advanced technology and extensive experience in live sports streaming. He believes the partnership will provide Yankees and Nets fans with a significantly improved viewing experience.
MSG Networks executive Kevin Marotta also welcomed the agreement, highlighting the opportunity to deliver high-quality streaming for Knicks, Rangers, Islanders, Devils, and Sabres supporters. Following the Knicks’ historic championship season, the company sees DAZN as the ideal platform to enhance digital sports coverage.
The retirement of the Gotham Sports app represents a fresh start for New York sports fans. After years of technical problems and customer frustration, DAZN promises a faster, more reliable streaming platform backed by global experience.
With live channels, exclusive content, flexible viewing options, and continued support for cable subscribers, DAZN appears ready to become the premier destination for fans of the Yankees, Knicks, Rangers, Nets, Islanders, Devils, and Sabres. If the platform delivers on its promises, this partnership could redefine how New York sports fans watch their favorite teams for years to come.
