After waiting more than half a century between titles, New York Knicks fans will be celebrating the team's 2026 NBA title for a long time, with the victory parade at the epicenter of those festivities.
While anyone paying attention to the NBA Finals is well aware the Knicks just captured their first title since 1973, that team was not feted the way these champions will be. There was no ticker-tape parade for Walt Frazier, Willis Reed and Co., but their modern-day heirs will get the full New York City sports legends treatment.
The buses will roll through the "Canyon of Heroes" Thursday morning, with a celebration to follow at City Hall. Officials are expecting massive crowds along Broadway, but you can tune in and watch the festivities wherever you are.
Here's everything you need to know about the Knicks' victory celebration.
