The streets of New York City are set to be dotted with NBA Finals watch parties for Game 5 on Saturday, June 13 as 130 LinkNYC kiosks tune into the Knicks vs. Spurs game.
The news comes as the whole city is set to transform into essentially a giant watch party for the NBA Finals Game 5 on Saturday, June 13 as the Knicks play the San Antonio Spurs. There’s a free event outside of Madison Square Garden, the kiosks will stream the game across the city on their TVs, and a myriad of private watch parties will likely again spill onto the streets.

Across the city, televisions or projectors have been propped up on porches allowing passersby to watch from the sidewalk. Fans have also huddled around bars and restaurants, peeking at screens indoors.
Earlier in the week, the city streamed Game 4 on dozens of LinkNYC screens, marking the first time live sports were broadcast on kiosks, Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s office said. More than 2,000 kiosks act as modernized phone booths, providing free WiFi and phone calls across the city.
“This weekend, we’re running it back,” Mamdani said. “More than a hundred kiosks will turn our sidewalks into watch parties and our streets into celebrations. Knicks in Five.”
