Which NBA teams play in New York?

Two. The New York Knicks play at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, and the Brooklyn Nets play at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Most NYC trips can comfortably fit either.

How do I get to Madison Square Garden?

MSG sits directly above Penn Station, so the 1, 2, 3, A, C and E subway lines stop right underneath. It's about a 10-minute walk from Times Square, and easy to reach from anywhere in Manhattan.

How do I get to Barclays Center?

Barclays Center sits on top of the Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center subway station, served by the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q, R and W trains. It's one of the best-connected arenas in the city — roughly 20 minutes from Midtown.

How early should I arrive at the arena?

Doors usually open around 90 minutes before tipoff. Arriving 30–45 minutes early gives you time to clear security, grab food and find your seat without rushing.

Is there a dress code?

No dress code. Most fans wear casual clothes — jeans, sneakers, a team jersey if they have one. Wear whatever you'd wear for a night out.

Catching an NBA game during your trip is one of those things that turns a good visit into a memorable one. The crowds are loud, the rivalries are real, and the neighborhoods around each arena are as much part of the night as the game itself.
