Sports New York City Events September

NYC is brimming with sports talent this year! Ready to see our NY Yankees Captain, Aaron Judge, hit homer after homer? Perhaps, you’d rather watch the Jets new QB, Aaron Rodgers, four-time MVP, play more than 4 minutes this season @ MetLife Stadium! Let’s not forget 2022’s breakout star, NY Giants QB, Daniel Jones, aka "Danny Dimes".

New York Sports September

Make sure to add a NYC Game Day to your NYC vacation – it’s an absolute MUST in NYC! For football fans, what could be better than watching the Giants and Jets in warm weather? Head to Yankee Stadium to grab a hot dog and cheer on the Yankees or NYCFC or head to baseball’s nicest stadium, Citi Field, to cheer on the Mets.


Giants & Jets MetLife Schedule

There is so much talent on our field this fall! The Jets new QB, Aaron Rodgers (who will hopefully play more than 4 minutes this season), four-time MVP, is headlining the action and we are all hopeful he brings it to "Gang Green." On the Giants side, superstar Daniel Jones, "Danny Dimes," is was setting records just about every game and whether it’s Jones or DeVito, we look forward to celebrating the Giants 100th season! There’s nothing like a traditional American football game, so head on out to MetLife Stadium, where tickets start at just $40 per game!

New York Giants Tickets


New York Yankees Schedule

New York Yankees Tickets

The New York Yankees, 27-Time World Series Champions, and likely the most simultaneously loved and hated team in baseball, return to Yankee Stadium with our Captain, Aaron Judge, pitcher Gerrit Cole and shortstop Anthony Volpe. There are few things in NYC better than a Yankee game, an old-fashioned hot dog and a beer.


New York Mets Schedule

New York Mets Tickets

Catch NYC's National baseball team in action at the amazing Citi Field, one of baseball's nicest stadiums and now home to baseball's highest payroll as of 2023! Top recruits include Francisco Álvarez, Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio and Mark Vientos. Tickets are easy to get and the Mets are an easy 30 minute subway from Times Square or Grand Central. Grab a burger from Shake Shack and get ready to see some baseball action.
