The New York Knicks had a spectacular season in 2024-25 that ended too soon when they fell to the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Championship. It probably wasn’t much of a consolation that Indiana then lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals. The Knicks are hellbent on going deeper into the postseason, and with a roster that includes names like Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges, their future looks brighter than the surface of the sun. This talented squad is zeroed in on a title. Can they bring a Larry O’Brien trophy home to Manhattan for the first time since 1973? You can find out; here’s where to watch New York Knicks games live during the 2025-26 season.
Although their biggest contributors are returning this season, the Knicks did make one big adjustment in the offseason. They chose to part ways with Coach Tom Thibodeau and replaced him with veteran Mike Brown. Brown has led a team to the NBA Finals before (with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2006-7), but his last stint in Sacramento was less successful. Can Brown be the difference maker New York needs? The Knicks front office certainly thinks so, though fans seem more skeptical.
Brown will have an impressive roster to utilize, especially with veterans Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele being added for additional depth. Now is certainly the time for the Knicks to make a run at a title (or dare it be suggested, multiple titles?). It’s all hands on deck and all guns blazing as New York hopes to restore greatness to its name.
For the 2025-26 season, New York Knicks games are scheduled to air on the MSG Network, ESPN, Prime Video, Peacock, NBC, and ABC. To see how this highly anticipated season shakes out, here’s how to get all these channels and services delivered to your favorite screen.
How to Watch the New York Knicks on NBA League Pass

No matter which tier you choose, NBA League Pass remains the most convenient way to follow every game beyond your local market.
