What we like
It’s September, so there’s still a lot of baseball happening in the Big Apple. On Friday and Saturday, you can catch the Mets hosting the Rangers at Citi Field. On Saturday, you can also head out to Rutgers for college football. But the biggest attraction of the weekend (other than the Jets-Bills game) may be Banana Ball being played at Yankee Stadium on Saturday and Sunday nights. Both are sold out, but resale tickets are available.

Dua Lipa, 7:30pm, Kaseya Center |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
We say you get in on Friday and go check out Dua Lipa at Kaseya Center. On Saturday, go off the beaten path and see FAU take on Memphis up in Boca Raton. On Sunday, you can catch the late afternoon Marlins vs. Mets game at loanDepot Park. And then you’ve got all day on Monday to hang out on the beach before heading to Hard Rock Stadium for Monday Night Football.

What we like
New York is rarely quiet for sports, but this weekend is an odd exception. On Saturday, the Red Bulls host Cincinnati, and the Jets play the Cowboys on Sunday. Other than that, it’s pizza and bagels.

Week 6: October 9-13, Denver Broncos @ New York Jets (in London)

Wales @ England , 7:45pm, Wembley Stadium (International Friendly) | Simply Red @ The O2, 6:30pm (concert) | Port Vale @ AFC Wimbledon, 3:00pm (League One) | Denver Broncos @ New York Jets, 3:30pm (NFL), Tottenham Hotspur Stadium | Katy Perry, O2 Arena, 6:30pm (concert) |
Doncaster Rovers @ Leyton Orient, 3:00pm (League One) | ||||
Huddersfield Town @ Luton Town, 3:00pm (League One) | ||||
The Kooks, O2 Arena, 6:30pm (concert) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
If you’re heading across the pond to see the game, you’ll probably want to focus on tourist things. Which is good, because the Premier and Championship Leagues are off this week. But, if you really want to see some English football, three of the League One teams are playing (which is actually the third tier of English football). But Luton was in the Premier League as recently as 2023-24, and their stadium went viral for people having to walk through homes to get to their seats.

What we like
Devils, Islanders, Rangers, Nets, Knicks, Army, Rutgers – they’re all at home this weekend, and you could even do more than one game a day if you wanted to. Including seeing the Jets-Browns game at 1:00 in the Meadowlands, and the Knicks vs. Nets at the Garden at 6:00.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
The Pats and Jets get the Thursday night slot this week, so that leaves the weekend open for other things. How about Boston College hosting Georgia Tech in Chestnut Hill on Saturday, followed by the Celtics against the Clippers on Sunday afternoon? If you can find a late flight out on Sunday night, that could be worth it.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
If you’re up for driving down to DC on Saturday, you can hit up Maryland vs. Michigan in College Park, or catch the Capitals playing the Lightning at Capital One Arena. Either way, it’s just a quick 40 miles back to Baltimore for the 1:00 Ravens-Jets game on Sunday.

If you want, you can hit up all three major arenas in the city without missing the Jets-Falcons game. With so many options to choose from, what’s a better way to spend Thanksgiving than in The Big Apple?

What we like
You’ll be really busy this weekend in NYC if sports are your thing. On Thursday, you can take the Long Island Railroad to the UBS Arena for Islanders vs. Avalanche. On Friday, you’ll go the exact opposite direction out to Newark for Devils vs. Golden Knights. On Saturday, it’s doubleheader time, with the Rangers hosting the Avs at the Garden at 12:30, and the Nets hosting the Pelicans in Brooklyn at 5:00 (absolutely doable). On Sunday, you’ll catch the Jets against the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium before flying out that evening. Beat that!

What we like
It’s an NFL doubleheader weekend if you want to take advantage of it. On Thursday night, the Bucs host the Falcons at Raymond James in Tampa. Then you’d have all of Friday and Saturday to either hang out in Tampa/Clearwater or drive to Orlando. Whatever you choose, you’ll have plenty of time to make your way to Jacksonville for the 1:00 Sunday Jags-Jets game.

What we like
It’s an NFL doubleheader weekend if you want to take advantage of it. On Thursday night, the Bucs host the Falcons at Raymond James in Tampa. Then you’d have all of Friday and Saturday to either hang out in Tampa/Clearwater or drive to Orlando. Whatever you choose, you’ll have plenty of time to make your way to Jacksonville for the 1:00 Sunday Jags-Jets game.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
It’s just your basic doubleheader weekend in New Orleans. On Saturday, the Pelicans will host the Pacers at Smoothie King Center, and then on Sunday, the Saints will host the Jets at noon. Easy peasy in the Big Easy.

Week 17: December 25-29, New England Patriots @ New York Jets
Thursday 12/25 | Friday 12/26 | Saturday 12/27 | Sunday 12/28 | Monday 12/29 |
Cleveland Cavaliers @ New York Knicks, 12:00pm (NBA) | New York Rangers @ New York Islanders, 6:00pm (NHL) | New England Patriots @ New York Jets, 1:00pm (NFL) | Golden State Warriors @ Brooklyn Nets, 7:30pm (NBA) | |
Washington Capitals @ New Jersey Devils, 7:00pm (NHL) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
The weekend starts with a Christmas Day game between the Knicks and the Cavs, but if you don’t have the deep pockets for that (or would rather be on your sofa for Christmas), then you can start the weekend on Saturday at the Islanders or Devils. On Sunday, it’s Jets-Pats, and on Monday it’s the Warriors at the Nets in Brooklyn.

Week 18: January 1-5, New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills
Thursday 1/1 | Friday 1/2 | Saturday 1/3 | Sunday 1/4 | Monday 1/5 |
Winnipeg Jets @ Toronto Maple Leafs, 7:00pm (NHL) | New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills, TBD (NFL) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
It’s the final regular-season game ever at Highmark Stadium. If the Bills secure a first-round home playoff game, then it might be a little anticlimactic, but if they’re a wild-card team or are out of the playoffs, then this is a monster event in Buffalo.

Bottom Line
If you’re heading to New York for a game, we like Weeks 7, 10, 13, and 14, when more sports are happening than you can even track.
If you’re following the Jets on the road, we like Week 11 for its BC / Celtics / Pats lineup, and Week 15’s NFL Thursday/Sunday doubleheader.
Happy sports travels!
