Madison Square Garden Sports and the New York Knicks announced on Wednesday that they will donate hundreds of free tickets to underprivileged youth in the New York City area for the 2026 NBA Finals games at Madison Square Garden.
The Garden of Dreams Foundation, an organization that works closely with the MSG family to bring life-changing opportunities to young people, will receive 250 tickets per home game, totaling at least 500 across Games 3 and 4 on June 8 and June 10. The total can reach 750 tickets if there is a Game 6, scheduled for June 16 if necessary.
Recipients include underserved New York families affiliated with the Garden of Dreams Foundation. The foundation is committed to creating meaningful programs for young people through its affiliation with the Foundation of Partners across the tri-state area. Since 2006, the foundation has positively impacted the lives of over 480,000 young people facing obstacles.
“We are proud to create meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime experiences for underprivileged youth in our local communities,” MSG’s global head of government affairs & social impact, Rich Constable, said. “Making sure underserved youth are part of the Knicks family run is extremely important to the Knicks, ensuring that the next generation of fans get to be part of the story.”
