YES and MSG Networks Shift Streaming Operations to DAZN

The transition impacts a massive portfolio of professional teams, including the New York Yankees, Brooklyn Nets, New York Knicks, Rangers, Islanders, Sabres, and Devils. While Yankees fans can continue using Gotham through the remainder of the current season, the eventual move to DAZN represents a significant consolidation in the regional sports media landscape. Cable bundle subscribers will retain access to games on the new platform at no additional cost, though specific pricing for standalone DAZN subscriptions remains undisclosed.

This shift arrives as regional sports networks grapple with the ongoing decline of traditional pay TV. While the YES Network and MSG Networks remain independently owned—by groups including the Yankees and James Dolan, respectively—they are not immune to the cord-cutting trends that recently forced the bankruptcy and liquidation of Main Street Sports. By partnering with DAZN, these networks align with a global player aggressively pursuing a larger foothold in the U.S. market. The move follows a period of technological instability for local fans, who have navigated multiple platform changes since the networks first launched individual apps in 2023.
