What is coming up on the YES Network in May 2026?

From a US TV perspective, the YES Network’s May 2026 schedule is anchored by the New York Yankees’ push through the heart of the regular season and New York City FC’s pursuit of the MLS Cup. The Yankees lead the programming with a heavy slate of divisional and interleague matchups, including a critical home stand against the Texas Rangers before hitting the road for high-profile series against the Milwaukee Brewers, Baltimore Orioles, and the first iteration of the Subway Series against the Mets at Citi Field. Supporting the live action is the network’s signature broadcast team, complemented by original programming such as Homegrown: The Path to Pinstripes, Yankees Magazine, and the deep-dive series Yankeeography, which kicks off the month focusing on the legacy of Mariano Rivera.

While the Brooklyn Nets shift into the offseason following their mid-April conclusion, the network maintains its local sports dominance through extensive coverage of New York City FC. May features a dense schedule for the Pigeons, including marquee MLS matches against the Columbus Crew and the New York Red Bulls, as well as the club’s quarterfinal appearance in the U.S. Open Cup. Beyond the pitch and the diamond, YES Network rounds out its spring lineup with a constant stream of lifestyle and news content like Talkin' Yanks, The Stadium, and Sportico Sports Business, ensuring the New York market remains connected to the pulse of local and international sports.
