NEW YORK, N.Y., May 8, 2026 – Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. (NYSE: MSGS) today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The fiscal 2026 third quarter included the continuation of the New York Knicks (“Knicks”) and New York Rangers (“Rangers”) 2025-26 regular seasons, with a combined five fewer games played at Madison Square Garden Arena (“The Garden”) as compared to the prior year quarter. During the quarter, average per-game revenues for every key revenue category – tickets, suites, sponsorship and food, beverage and merchandise sales – increased as compared to the fiscal 2025 third quarter. In addition, fiscal 2026 third quarter operating results reflect an increase in national media rights fees due to the NBA’s new national media rights deals that began this season and the impact of the Knicks’ and Rangers’ rosters for the 2025-26 seasons. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal 2026 third quarter, both teams concluded their regular seasons, with the Knicks currently competing in the NBA playoffs.

For the fiscal 2026 third quarter, the Company generated revenues of $432.2 million, an increase of $8.0 million, or 2%, as compared to the prior year period. In addition, the Company reported operating income of $2.0 million, a decrease of $30.4 million and adjusted operating income of $10.3 million, a decrease of $26.6 million, both as compared to the prior year period.⁽¹⁾

Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. Executive Chairman and CEO James L. Dolan said, “Our results this quarter again reflect growth in per-game revenues across all key categories, which is driven by strong demand for our teams. We are also now exploring a potential separation of our Knicks and Rangers businesses into distinct public companies, which we believe would further create long-term value for shareholders.”
