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 (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.
