Karl-Anthony Towns celebrates the Knicks' win in the NBA Cup Final with his teammates on Dec. 13, 2025.
Charles Wenzelberg for The New York Post
Despite dismal seasons (again) from the Jets and Giants, New York City sports fans had plenty to look forward to in the fall. The Knicks won the NBA Cup after a thrilling two-game stretch in Vegas for their first title of any sort since 1973. Gotham FC secured its second NWSL title in three years behind a shocking playoff run, though don’t tell that to Jaedyn Shaw, who produced the line of the postseason with her “underdog my ass” quote after their upset of top-seeded Kansas City.
The ripple effects of those titles will carry over into 2026. And here are some other things that Sports+ is looking forward to watching unfold in the next calendar year.
Can the Knicks double-up?
The Knicks snapped their title drought — but not one that’ll prompt a banner and parade and a forever legacy. So can they channel their experience from the NBA Cup into something that leads to an NBA Finals victory?
