- On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, MSG Networks and the YES Network announced a landmark partnership making DAZN the exclusive direct-to-consumer streaming home for both networks during the 2026-2027 NBA and NHL seasons.

- Yankees fans will finish the current season on Gotham, while subscribers will eventually access live games for the Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Devils, Islanders, and Sabres on DAZN.
- DAZN Group CEO Shay Segev stated the deal "underscores our commitment to expanding our footprint in the United States," while MSG Networks SVP Kevin Marotta praised the platform's reach.
- This partnership arrives as the regional sports network model faces severe pressure, with DAZN expanding its footprint following the bankruptcy of Main Street Sports Group.
