How to Watch New York Knicks Championship Parade

The New York Knicks will celebrate their NBA Championship after a 53-year drought with a ticker-tape parade in New York City on Thursday.

Fans will line the streets of Manhattan on Thursday to celebrate the New York Knicks NBA Championship, which starts near Battery Park and travels north up Broadway through the Canyon of Heroes, before concluding with a ceremony at City Hall. Once the floats reach City Hall on Thursday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani will preside over a ceremony to present NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson and his teammates with the Keys to the City.

Excitement throughout the playoffs was well documented, with fans enjoying watch parties in all five boroughs and bars and restaurants filled to the brim with screaming fans. Expect nothing less on Thursday, with many news outlets expecting the largest parade crowd in city’s history with at least one million fans.

Three city buildings — Manhattan City Hall, the David N. Dinkins Municipal Building and Brooklyn’s Borough Hall — will be lit up in Knicks blue and orange that night, the mayor’s office said.

The Knicks had one of the greatest runs in NBA playoff history, going 16-3, including 13 straight wins. The team beat the San Antonio Spurs in five games. The most exciting game of the series came in the team’s only win at Madison Square Garden, when the Knicks came back from a 29-point deficit to win. It marked the largest comeback win in NBA playoff history and cemented this Knicks team into the history books.

While the Knicks won the championship in 1970 and 1973, at that time, New York City Mayor John Lindsay halted ticker-tape parades for sports teams, so this will be the team’s first official ticker-tape parade.
