Sportico Reveals New York 2026 Sports Investment Panels
Sportico Invest New York will return to Nasdaq in Times Square on 10 November 2026, bringing together sports owners, investors and financial executives to discuss franchise ownership, dealmaking and investment opportunities, according to Sportico’s event announcement.
The summit marks its fifth consecutive year, with discussions covering private equity investment, financial transactions and the changing role of institutional capital in professional sports.
Sports Owners and Investors Lead the Agenda
Clearlake Capital co-founder and San Diego Padres owner José E. Feliciano will join investor and philanthropist Kwanza Jones for a conversation titled “Beyond the Investment”, according to Sportico.
Their participation connects the programme to the business of professional team ownership and the financial decisions involved in acquiring and managing sports assets.
Former NBA player Grant Hill is also among the announced participants. His experience with professional sports ownership provides an athlete’s perspective on investment opportunities beyond playing careers.
Allen & Company managing director Steve Greenberg and Apollo Sports Capital chief executive Al Tylis are also identified in Sportico’s speaker lineup, bringing perspectives on franchise transactions, financing and institutional investment.
Panels Examine Sports Deals and Public Markets
The programme includes “Anatomy of a Deal” and “Inside the Deal Room”, two sessions focused on the financial and commercial considerations surrounding sports transactions.
“Sports in the Public Markets” will examine connections between professional sports businesses and publicly traded investments, while “Future Forum” broadens the discussion to emerging opportunities.
Other scheduled sessions include “The Business of Collectibles” and “Athlete as Investor”, extending the agenda beyond franchise acquisitions to businesses and investment activity associated with sport.
The range of topics reflects the event’s focus on how ownership, financing and commercial opportunities intersect across the sports industry.

According to the Sportico Live event information, general admission costs $1,200, while subscribers can purchase passes for $900.
The registration information specifies a security-related deadline: “Due to venue security guidelines, registration closes strictly at 10:00 AM on November 6, 2026.”
