The New York Knicks are hosting a free watch party for game six of their first-round NBA playoff series. Fans can venture to Madison Square Garden on Thursday night to watch the game on giant screens outside the world’s most famous arena starting at 5:30 p.m. The team heads into tonight’s game against the Atlanta Hawks up 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

Free and open to the public, the watch party will be held at Plaza 33 on 33rd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. The main entrance will be closest to Seventh Avenue near the Penn Station entrance.

A second viewing area will also be set up closer to Eighth Avenue, allowing additional fans to gather and watch on another screen. Fans can begin entering the space 90 minutes before tip-off.

Attendees can expect giveaways, a live DJ, appearances by Knicks alumni, and more.

No pre-registration is required. Fans may bring small bags and pack food or drinks, except alcoholic beverages. Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket, as folding chairs are not permitted, and oversized bags are also prohibited.

For those who cannot make it to the watch party, the Knicks are also taking over bars across all five boroughs during playoff games, where fans can watch the game at full volume alongside other supporters. A list of participating locations can be found here.

For previous playoff games this round, the team has hosted parties inside Madison Square Garden and Central Park.

Plaza 33 is a pedestrian plaza in the heart of the Penn District that opened in 2024. Designed by MNLA, the space provides a public space with trees, seating, and lighting right next to Penn Station. The outdoor plaza offers free events, music, and workshops throughout the year and is surrounded by several new restaurants and retail stores, as 6sqft previously reported.
