You don’t have to miss your favorite teams
As of December 31, 2025, our agreement with New England SportsNet (NESN) has expired, and the channel is no longer available on Optimum TV.
We worked hard on your behalf to reach a new deal, including offering an option to carry NESN in sports-focused packages for fans who want it, but NESN declined and would not agree to reasonable terms for you, our customers. We know this is disappointing, and we’re here to help you stay connected to the teams and programming you care about.
