Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. approved the spin-off of its New York Rangers business from its New York Knicks operations, clearing the way for the company to separate its two flagship sports franchises into independent publicly traded entities. The transaction is expected to close on October 26, 2026, subject to customary conditions including regulatory and league approvals.
Following the tax-free distribution, the parent company will be renamed MSG Knickerbockers Corp. and trade under the ticker MSGK, focusing on the NBA Knicks and their G League affiliate. The newly created MSG Rangers Corp. will own the NHL Rangers, the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack and the MSG Training Center, with shares expected to trade on the NYSE under MSGR. CEO James L. Dolan will continue to lead both companies.
Shareholders of record on October 20 will receive one MSG Rangers common share for every two MSG Sports shares held.
