Games in New York in August: Yankees & Mets
New York in August means baseball — the Yankees in the Bronx and the Mets in Queens — plus the Liberty, MLS and NFL preseason. Here's what's on, with tickets and arena guides.
In August, New York City is all about baseball — and you've got two teams to choose from (or both). The New York Yankees play at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, and the New York Mets are across town at Citi Field in Queens. Baseball leads in August, but it isn't the only game in town: the New York Liberty (WNBA) are deep into their season at Barclays Center, NYCFC and the Red Bulls play MLS matches, and the Giants and Jets host NFL preseason games at MetLife Stadium.
Two ballparks, one city
The beauty of NYC in August is that you can often catch both teams on the same trip when their home stands overlap — subway between the Bronx and Queens and you've doubled up in a day or two.
- Yankee Stadium (Bronx): take the 4/B/D to 161st St–Yankee Stadium; classic, big-crowd atmosphere.
- Citi Field (Queens): the 7 train drops you right outside; don't miss the food hall.
- Tickets: compare box office and resale per game on the schedule.
Build a Northeast road trip
New York is the hub of the densest sports corridor in the country. From here you can run the I-95 Northeast corridor — Boston to Washington — mostly by Amtrak, stacking games in Philadelphia, Baltimore and beyond.
