Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

MSG Sports reported fiscal third-quarter 2026 revenue of $432.2 million, up $8.0 million or 2% from a year earlier, driven mainly by higher league distributions. Operating income fell to $2.0 million, and the net loss widened to $20.0 million, or $0.83 per share, from $14.2 million, or $0.59 per share, a year earlier, so profit weakened even as sales grew.

Key points

  • Revenue of $432.2 million, up $8.0 million or 2%; league distributions rose $27.0 million, partly offset by lower ticket-related revenue down $12.9 million.
  • Operating income of $2.0 million, down $30.4 million; adjusted operating income of $10.3 million, down $26.6 million, as direct operating expenses rose $38.2 million.
  • Net loss of $20.0 million, or $0.83 per share, compared with a net loss of $14.2 million, or $0.59 per share, in the prior year quarter.
  • On February 18, 2026, the board approved exploring a possible spin-off separating the New York Knicks from the New York Rangers.
