The YES Network and MSG Networks are teaming up to bring New York sports fans an exciting new offering - the Gotham Sports app
The YES Network and MSG Networks are teaming up to bring New York sports fans an exciting new offering - the Gotham Sports app. This innovative app, set to launch in the fall, will provide access to local games for seven prominent New York area teams. For the first time ever, two regional sports networks are joining forces to offer a bundled app option, marking a significant milestone in the world of sports streaming services.
The Gotham Sports app will cater to fans of the New York Knicks, New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, Brooklyn Nets, and New York Yankees, all under one subscription. This comprehensive package will be priced at $359.99 annually or $41.99 monthly, providing fans with a convenient and cost-effective way to catch all the action from their favorite teams.
For those who prefer to focus on specific teams, individual access to MSG+ or the YES App services can be purchased for $29.99 and $24.99 per month, respectively. Existing subscribers of MSG Networks and YES Network through their pay-TV provider will seamlessly receive access to the Gotham Sports App at no additional cost.
MSG Networks President and CEO, Andrea Greenberg, emphasized the app’s role in simplifying access to New York area sports events, streamlining the viewing experience for fans of the partnered teams. The collaboration between MSG Networks and the YES Network reflects a strategic move to address the evolving landscape of sports programming and cater to the diverse preferences of sports enthusiasts.
While SportsNet New York, the broadcaster of New York Mets games, is not part of this joint venture, fans can still enjoy their content through platforms like FuboTV, DirecTV Stream, and online login options for cable subscribers. The regional sports networks industry has witnessed significant transformations in recent years, with various teams and networks adapting to new streaming models and partnerships to enhance fan engagement.
The launch of the Gotham Sports App marks an exciting development in regional sports streaming services, offering fans a centralized platform to follow their favorite New York teams. As the sports broadcasting landscape continues to evolve, this collaborative effort sets a promising precedent for the future of sports streaming in the greater New York area.
