US Tennis Open

August 30 – September 12, 2021

This is one of my all time favorite sports events. The Billie Jean King National Tennis Center is a fantastic sporting venue and the crowd is always amazing. Read the complete NYC Insider Guide to the US Tennis Open, with discount tickets, hotel packages, schedule, seating chart and more!

MLB Baseball | New York City Sports Teams

Baseball is played April through October, and sometimes into November if we make the playoffs.

New York Yankees (American League)

2009 World Series Champions
27-Time World Series Champions.

The new Yankee Stadium in the Bronx is fabulous, but it’s ALWAYS the fans that make a Yankees Game one of the BEST things you can do in NYC. Yankees history is filled with all time greats, like the recently retired, Derek Jeter, Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle and Jackie Robinson.

Truth be told, my family is split down the Mets/Yankees line, but I am 100% Yanks – they are my favorite New York City Sports Team. Such magical memories from the 70’s (hmm..did I just date myself?) with my Aunt and Uncle who had the best seats right between home and 1st, watching Bucky Dent, Reggie Jackson and Thurman Munson with a soda and a hot dog! I can’t even recall a game they lost, all I remember is leaving the stadium as winners, with Sinatra’s “New York, New York” playing loudly, a long-time NY Sports tradition.

New York Mets (National League)

See the New York Mets Schedule and catch NYC’s National baseball team in action at Citi Field.

Tickets are easy to get and the new Citi Field is one of the best stadiums in all of baseball. With historical favorites like Yogi Berra, Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry and Willie Mays, the Mets are a local team favorite. Take the easy 30 minute subway straight to Citi Field, grab a burger from Shake Shack and get ready to see some baseball action.

New York City Sports Teams | NFL Football

Football is played every August through December, and sometimes into February.

New York Giants Football (NFC)

2012 and 2008 SuperBowl Champions!!!!

Check out the New York Giants Schedule and catch NYC’s best football team in action at MetLife Stadium. Our beloved “G-Men” or “Big Blue,” are sure to provide you nothing but fast-paced NYC action! With only a few home games per season, tickets are limited, but are definitely available starting at just $40 per game!

Our historical favorites include Frank Gifford, Lawrence Taylor, Tiki Barber, Phil Simms, Bill Parcells and Michael Strahan.

About New York City Sports Teams

New York City sports teams are some of the best in the world. Boasting rights allow us to include:

5 Super Bowl wins (4 Giants, 1 Jets)
8 Stanley Cups (4 Rangers, 4 Islanders)
29 World Series wins (27 Yankees plus 10 NY Giants, 2 Mets)
2 NBA Championships (Knicks)

Attending a New York City Sports Team event during your visit should be priority!

The easiest events to get to are NY Rangers and NY Knicks, both at Madison Square Garden.
The NY Yankees and NY Mets are quick and very easy subway rides out of NYC.
The NY Giants and NY Jets play in New Jersey, about an hour outside of Manhattan, and the games take up a full Sunday, but there is nothing like a traditional American Football game.

Discount New York City Sports Tickets

Many of our sports events are almost always sold out! So how do those of us without inherited season Giants tickets, which have been passed down for generations, access the games? Check out the Insider guide to New York City Sports Teams tickets
