Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (now MSG Knickerbockers Corp., MSGK) distributed all shares of MSG Rangers Corp. to its stockholders on October 26, 2026, separating the New York Rangers business. Holders received one share of the corresponding MSG Rangers class for every two shares of the same MSGK class held on October 20, 2026. Future transfers of Rangers ownership, its location, and certain other asset or ownership transfers require NHL consent, subject to exceptions; the parties also agreed to release NHL entities from claims. MSGK will report the Rangers business as discontinued operations through the distribution date beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2026.
The unaudited pro forma statements show continuing-operations revenue of $816.552 million and net income of $26.334 million for fiscal 2026; the company cautions these illustrative figures are not representative of future results. MSGK’s name change took effect October 26, 2026. Amended agreements provide annual base salaries of at least $1,016,000 for James L. Dolan, $508,000 for David Granville-Smith, $412,750 for Paul DiCicco, and $635,000 for Jamaal T. Lesane, and set their respective annual long-term award targets at $4,953,000, $1,079,500, $412,750, and $952,500. Dolan received a one-time $10 million cash award, paid October 26.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. amended its disclosure concerning the distribution of MSGS Spinco common stock, including overlapping management, potential conflicts, governance and awards. James L. Dolan will be executive chairman and CEO of MSGS, MSGS Spinco, MSG Entertainment and Sphere Entertainment, and non-executive chairman of AMC Global Media. David Granville-Smith will be an executive vice president at MSGS, MSGS Spinco, Sphere Entertainment and AMC Global Media; Paul DiCicco will be executive vice president, CFO and treasurer of MSGS and MSGS Spinco; Jamaal T. Lesane will be executive vice president and chief legal officer of both. MSGS says overlapping leaders may face actual or apparent conflicts involving corporate opportunities and commercial arrangements.
Immediately following the Distribution, three MSGS directors are expected to serve on MSGS Spinco’s board; seven MSGS directors will also serve on MSG Entertainment’s board, nine on Sphere Entertainment’s and four on AMC Global Media’s. MSGS has renounced certain corporate opportunities, and transactions with MSGS Spinco in excess of $1,000,000 will be subject to independent committee approval. Each existing MSGS option will become one MSGS option and one MSGS Spinco option, with its exercise price allocated using weighted average share prices over the 10 trading days immediately following the Distribution. Tax recognition of certain Rangers advance-sale deferred revenue will accelerate to the Distribution; assuming it occurred June 30, 2026, estimated tax would be approximately $20.0 million, which MSGS Spinco will not reimburse.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (MSGS) approved a planned spin-off of its New York Rangers business through a distribution of one share of MSGS Spinco Class A or Class B common stock for every two corresponding MSGS shares held of record on October 20, 2026. The distribution is scheduled for 11:59 p.m. New York City time on October 26, 2026, subject to Form 10 effectiveness, final NYSE listing approval for Spinco Class A, the asset contribution, final NHL approval and a tax opinion. The board retains the right to modify or abandon the distribution before it occurs.
After completion, MSGS expects to become MSG Knickerbockers Corp. (Class A symbol MSGK), while Spinco is to become MSG Rangers Corp. (Class A symbol MSGR) and hold the Rangers-related businesses; MSGS will have no continuing common-stock ownership in it. The spin-off is intended to qualify as tax-free. Tax recognition of certain deferred revenue will accelerate to the distribution date; assuming the distribution occurred June 30, 2026, estimated tax would be approximately $20.0 million, which MSGS Spinco will not reimburse.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (MSGS) reported executive leadership changes effective September 21, 2026. Jamaal T.

Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. reported stronger results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, highlighted by the New York Knicks winning the 2025-26 NBA Championship and higher in-arena and national media revenues. Fiscal 2026 revenues were $1,153.8 million, up 11%, with operating income of $28.9 million and adjusted operating income of $58.7 million, both rising versus the prior year. Net income was $7.8 million after a prior-year loss.
For the fourth quarter, revenues grew 37% to $278.7 million, with operating income of $32.2 million and adjusted operating income of $39.6 million, compared to losses a year earlier. The company is advancing a proposed spin-off of its New York Rangers business, targeting completion by the end of October 2026, subject to conditions including board approval.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. reported fiscal third quarter 2026 results and is exploring a potential separation of its Knicks and Rangers businesses into distinct public companies. Quarterly revenues were $432.2 million, up 2% from a year earlier, driven by higher per-game revenue across tickets, suites, sponsorship, and food, beverage and merchandise, and higher national media rights fees.
Despite revenue growth, profitability weakened. Operating income fell to $2.0 million from $32.3 million, and adjusted operating income declined to $10.3 million from $36.9 million, reflecting higher direct operating expenses and restructuring charges. The Company posted a net loss of $20.0 million, compared with a $14.2 million loss in the prior-year quarter.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, revenues rose to $875.1 million, up 5% year over year, while adjusted operating income decreased to $19.2 million from $54.9 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period was $5.0 million, down from $41.9 million a year earlier, and cash and cash equivalents stood at $107.0 million at March 31, 2026.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. is appointing Paul DiCicco as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer effective May 11, 2026 or a later agreed date. He joins under an employment agreement with a base salary of $650,000 and a target annual bonus equal to 100% of salary.
Starting with the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, DiCicco is expected to receive annual long-term incentive awards with a target value of at least $650,000, plus standard company benefits. If his employment ends without cause or for good reason before May 10, 2029, he is entitled to at least two times the sum of base salary and target bonus, along with accelerated vesting of certain equity and cash awards, subject to a separation agreement. Current CFO Victoria Mink will transition to Executive Vice President, Finance to assist with the handover.
Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. announced that its board unanimously approved a plan to explore a possible spin-off separating the New York Knicks business from the New York Rangers business into two publicly traded companies. If completed, current Class A and Class B shareholders are expected to receive a pro-rata distribution of 100% of the new company’s common stock in a transaction intended to be tax-free.
The company also disclosed that Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Victoria Mink will leave the company, though she will remain for a period to assist with the potential spin-off and transition. Her departure will follow severance under her employment agreement and is stated not to result from any disagreement over accounting, financial disclosure or internal controls. The company cautions there is no assurance the spin-off will be completed and notes it remains subject to league approvals, a tax opinion, and board approval.

Madison Square Garden Sports (NYSE: MSGS) filed an Item 7.01 Form 8-K disclosing material changes to its media-rights contracts with MSG Networks, effective January 1, 2025.
- New York Knicks: annual rights fee cut 28%, escalator removed, term extended to end-2028-29 season with MSGN right-of-first-refusal.
- New York Rangers: annual fee cut 18%, escalator removed, same term extension.
- In consideration, MSG Sports received penny warrants exercisable for 19.9% of MSG Networks’ equity.
The revisions arise from MSGN’s lender work-out. While lower guaranteed fees pressure near-term revenue and EBITDA, the equity stake offers upside if MSGN’s restructuring succeeds.
