NEW YORK — Madison Square Garden Sports announced the New York Knicks will donate hundreds of free tickets to underprivileged youth throughout New York City for the 2026 NBA Finals. Garden of Dreams Foundation Youth will receive 250 tickets per home game – totaling at least 500 tickets across Games 3 and 4 – and 750 tickets if there is a Game 6.
The Knicks won game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night with a 105-95 upset over the favored San Antonio Spurs in San Antonio. Games 3 and 4 are hosted by the Knicks at Madison Square Garden with tickets currently priced at $8,000 and higher on Stubhub. Game 2 will be played Friday night in San Antonio.
Recipients of the free tickets will include underserved New York families affiliated with the Garden of Dreams Foundation (GDF), which works closely with the MSG Family of Companies to bring life-changing opportunities to young people in need year-round. GDF is committed to creating meaningful programs for young people through its affiliation with the Foundation Partners across the tri-state area.
“We are proud to create meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime experiences for underprivileged youth in our local communities,” said Rich Constable, EVP, Global Head of Government Affairs & Social Impact, MSG Entertainment. “Making sure underserved youth are part of the Knicks Finals run is extremely important to the Knicks, ensuring the next generation of fans gets to be part of the story.”
