Your Guide to November 2026’s Must-See Concerts, Sports & Shows in NYC

November in New York swings fully into hockey and basketball season, with the Rangers, Islanders, Devils, Knicks, and Nets all playing multiple home dates across four different arenas. Broadway’s MJ runs nearly every night at the Neil Simon Theatre, and the New York Comedy Festival spreads across the Beacon Theatre and Madison Square Garden during the first half of the month.

Brooklyn Paramount hosts the STING 3.0 Tour for eight separate dates spread across the month, while two different Disney tours crisscross UBS Arena, Barclays Center, and Prudential Center within the same two-week stretch. Looking at the month day by day keeps all of that straight, especially on the nights when four or five venues are running at once.

If You Can Only Pick a Few Nights

Sting’s eight-night stand at Brooklyn Paramount is the longest residency of the month, running from November 11 through November 21 with gaps on a few nights in between, and one of the toughest tickets to grab all month.

Dave Chappelle opens the New York Comedy Festival with two nights at Madison Square Garden on November 6 and 7, while the festival keeps running through the Beacon Theatre for another week after that.

UFC 334 lands at Madison Square Garden on November 14, the same Saturday as Cortaca Jug at Yankee Stadium and the League of Legends World Championship at Barclays Center, three marquee one-off events sharing a single Saturday across three boroughs.

Stevie Wonder’s 50th anniversary performances of Songs in the Key of Life hit Madison Square Garden on November 19, a show centered on a single album rather than a tour setlist.

Thanksgiving, November 26, is the one night this month with nothing scheduled anywhere on this list, worth keeping in mind for anyone with a trip in mind around a specific show rather than just a date on the calendar.

Sunday, November 1

• New York Jets vs. Las Vegas Raiders, MetLife Stadium, 1:00 P.M.
• New York Rangers vs. Edmonton Oilers, Madison Square Garden, 6:00 P.M.

Football takes the afternoon at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and hockey takes the evening at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, far enough apart in both time and place that catching both in person is realistic for anyone willing to cross the river twice in one day.

• Omer Adam: US Tour 2026, Barclays Center, 8:30 P.M.
• Lil Peep 30th Birthday Celebration, Brooklyn Paramount, 7:00 P.M.

Omer Adam opens a two-night run at Barclays Center, while Lil Peep’s birthday celebration fills Brooklyn Paramount earlier the same evening, both an easy reach from the same handful of downtown Brooklyn subway stops.

• Disney On Ice presents Spotlight Magic!, Prudential Center

Disney On Ice opens its run at Prudential Center in Newark tonight, the first of two different Disney tours passing through the area over the next two weeks.

• MJ, Neil Simon Theatre, 3:00 P.M.

MJ opens the month with a single matinee at the Neil Simon Theatre, a calmer start before the week picks up.

Monday, November 2

• New York Knicks vs. Brooklyn Nets, Madison Square Garden, 7:30 P.M.
• Seton Hall vs. St. Peter’s, Prudential Center, 7:30 P.M.

The Knicks host the Nets at Madison Square Garden tonight, a reminder that the two teams share a market but almost never a building, while Seton Hall’s home game against St. Peter’s fills Prudential Center in Newark at about the same hour.

• WWE: WWE Raw & SmackDown, Barclays Center, 5:30 P.M.
• Pivot Podcast: Pivot Tour, Beacon Theatre, 7:30 P.M.
• Yebba, Brooklyn Paramount, 7:00 P.M.

WWE brings a rare Raw and SmackDown doubleheader to Barclays Center early in the evening, while Pivot Podcast’s live show at the Beacon and the first of Yebba’s two Brooklyn Paramount nights both start a little later.

MJ takes Mondays off this month, so tonight’s lineup skips Broadway entirely.

Tuesday, November 3

• New York Rangers vs. St. Louis Blues, Madison Square Garden, 7:00 P.M.
• New Jersey Devils vs. Edmonton Oilers, Prudential Center, 7:30 P.M.

Hockey doubles up again tonight, with the Rangers at Madison Square Garden and the Devils at Prudential Center in Newark both taking the ice at almost the same hour.

• Yebba, Brooklyn Paramount, 7:00 P.M.
• The Amity Affliction: HOUSE OF CARDS 2026, Paramount Huntington, 7:00 P.M.

Omer Adam’s second Barclays Center date starts late enough to follow dinner, while Yebba’s second Brooklyn Paramount show and The Amity Affliction out in Huntington both start earlier in the evening.

• MJ, Neil Simon Theatre, 7:00 P.M.

MJ keeps its 7:00 P.M. curtain time tonight at the Neil Simon Theatre, business as usual on a busy hockey night elsewhere in town.

Wednesday, November 4

• New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls, Madison Square Garden, 7:30 P.M.
• Brooklyn Nets vs. Charlotte Hornets (AAPI Night), Barclays Center, 7:30 P.M.

Basketball doubles up again, with the Knicks tipping off at Madison Square Garden at the same hour the Nets mark AAPI Night at Barclays Center.

• Palace: USA & Canada Tour 2026, Brooklyn Paramount, 7:00 P.M.
• Pedro Fernández: Ave Fénix Tour, Infosys Theater at MSG, 8:00 P.M.
• Lucy Darling: You’re Welcome, Beacon Theatre, 7:30 P.M.
• BEAT: Belew/Vai/Levin/Bozzio Performing the Music of King Crimson, Paramount Huntington, 8:00 P.M.

Four different concerts split the night across Brooklyn, Midtown, the Upper West Side, and Long Island, so picking one mostly comes down to which part of the city already fits the rest of the evening.

• MJ, Neil Simon Theatre, 1:00 P.M. and 7:00 P.M.

MJ adds a matinee today, giving Wednesday two chances to catch the show instead of one.

Thursday, November 5

• Anuel AA, UBS Arena, 8:00 P.M.

Dave Chappelle opens a two-night run at Madison Square Garden as part of the New York Comedy Festival, the biggest draw of the night by a wide margin given the size of the room.

• MJ, Neil Simon Theatre, 7:00 P.M.

One Crowded Month Across the Region

November spreads across the region and beyond state lines, from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx to Prudential Center in Newark and UBS Arena out on Long Island. A concert that lets out well past eleven and an afternoon football game create two different kinds of evening, even when they land on the same weekend.

A stadium crowd leaving a sold-out game moves slowly and all at once, especially after a Thanksgiving weekend doubleheader or a late UFC card ends.

Heading to several of these the same week gets easier with one car arranged for the whole group instead of everyone finding their own way to Newark, Belmont Park, or Midtown on different nights.

Anyone flying in for a show or a game this month should factor the airport into the same evening as the event, especially around Thanksgiving week when flights and football both compete for the same roads.
