On March 31, 2020, MSG Sports’ board of directors approved the distribution of all the outstanding common stock of MSG Entertainment to MSG Sports’ stockholders (the “Entertainment Distribution”), which occurred on April 17, 2020 (the “Entertainment Distribution Date”). See Note 1 to the Company’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding the Entertainment Distribution. Following the Entertainment Distribution, the Company has two reportable segments (the Entertainment business and the Tao Group Hospitality business) as a result of certain changes in the financial information that is provided to its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Additionally, as part of the Entertainment Distribution, the Company has entered into various agreements with MSG Sports as detailed in Note 17. Basis of Presentation The Company reports on a fiscal year basis ending on June 30th. In these consolidated and combined financial statements, the years ended on June 30, 2021 and 2020 are referred to as “Fiscal Year 2021,” and “Fiscal Year 2020,” respectively. Subsequent to the Entertainment Distribution, the Company’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 and for the statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 are presented on a consolidated basis, as the Company became a standalone public company on April 17, 2020. The Company’s financial statements prior to April 17, 2020 that are included in the results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2020, and the interim periods therein, were prepared on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of MSG Sports (“combined financial statements”). These financial statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1-B, Allocation of Expenses and Related Disclosure in Financial Statements of Subsidiaries, Divisions or Lesser Business Components of Another Entity, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC for interim financial information. References to GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, also referred to as the “Codification” or “ASC.” See Note 1 to the Company’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding the assumptions underlying the combined financial statements and additional details on the preparation of such combined financial statements. Management believes that the assumptions underlying the combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocating general corporate expenses, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred by the Company and may not reflect its combined results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had it been a stand-alone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. The Company is unable to quantify the amounts that it would have recorded during the historical periods on a stand-alone basis as it is not practicable to do so. See Note 17 for more information regarding allocations of certain costs from the Company to MSG Sports. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements The accompanying interim consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instruction of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated and combined financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 presented herein are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year. The Company’s dependence on revenues from the Christmas Spectacular generally means it earns a disproportionate share of its revenues in the second quarter of its fiscal year. In addition, the Company’s operating results in the third and fourth quarters of Fiscal Year 2020 and the first and second quarters of Fiscal Year 2021 were negatively impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic The Company’s operations and operating results have been, and continue to be, materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response by governmental authorities and certain professional sports leagues. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, virtually all of the Entertainment business’ operations have been suspended and Tao Group Hospitality is operating at significantly reduced capacity and demand. It is not clear when we will be permitted or able to resume normal business operations. As a result of government-mandated assembly limitations and closures, our performance venues were closed in mid-March 2020, and, subject to limited exceptions, such as the use of The Garden for Knicks and Rangers (as defined below) home games without fans in attendance and our virtual residency in Fall 2020 featuring Phish’s Trey Anastasio live from the Beacon Theatre, as of the date of this filing no events are permitted to be held at The Garden, Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and the Beacon Theatre. Although events are permitted at The Chicago Theatre, current government-mandated capacity restrictions and other safety requirements make it economically unfeasible to do so. Other than Knicks and Rangers home games at the Garden, all events at our venues have been postponed or canceled through at least March 2021, and will likely be impacted through the rest of 2021. We are not recognizing revenue from events that have been canceled or postponed and, while events have been rescheduled into the second half of calendar year 2021, it is unclear whether and to what extent those events will take place. We are actively monitoring government regulations and guidance, and when such regulations permit, and there is an opportunity to reopen our venues for events safely and on economically feasible terms, we expect that we would do so. The impact to our operations included the cancellation of both the 2020 production of the Christmas Spectacular and the 2020 Boston Calling Music Festival. The Company has long-term arena license agreements (the “Arena License Agreements”) with MSG Sports that require the New York Knicks (the “Knicks”) of the National Basketball Association (the “NBA”) and the New York Rangers (the “Rangers”) of the National Hockey League (the “NHL”) to play their home games at The Garden. While the NBA began its 2020-21 regular season in December 2020 and the NHL began its 2020-21 regular season in January 2021, the Knicks and Rangers are currently playing home games at The Garden without fans in attendance due to government-mandated assembly restrictions. Even if fans are permitted to attend in the future, capacity restrictions, use limitations and social distancing requirements may remain in place through, at least, the rest of Fiscal Year 2021, which would continue to affect the payments we receive under the Arena License Agreements. Due to government actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, virtually all of Tao Group Hospitality’s venues were closed for approximately three months starting in mid-March, and Avenue and Vandal in New York were permanently closed in April and June, respectively. Tao Group Hospitality has resumed limited operations at certain venues, subject to significant regulatory requirements, including limits on capacity, curfews and social distancing requirements for outdoor and indoor dining. As of December 31, 2020, eight of Tao Group Hospitality’s venues were open for outdoor dining and/or limited capacity indoor dining, four were open for delivery and/or takeout only, while sixteen venues remained closed. The COVID-19 pandemic has materially impacted our revenues, most significantly because, as of the date of this filing, we are generating substantially reduced sponsorship and advertising revenue as well as reduced payments under the Arena License Agreements and we are not generating revenue from: • events at The Garden, Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre and The Chicago Theatre; • suite licenses; and • the 2020 production of the Christmas Spectacular . The COVID-19 pandemic is having and will likely continue to have a significant and negative impact on our operations and financial performance. As a result, we have taken several actions to improve our financial flexibility, reduce operating costs and preserve liquidity. • We have revised our processes and construction schedule for MSG Sphere, providing for a substantially reduced spend in Fiscal Year 2021 and a lengthened timetable that enables the Company to preserve cash in the near-term. We now expect to open MSG Sphere in Las Vegas in calendar year 2023; • In connection with our extended construction timeline, we have reduced our expected near-term spending on technology and content development for MSG Sphere; • At the end of May 2020, we ended all financial support that was previously provided for certain event-level employees at the Company’s performance venues, and as a result virtually all venue employees, approximately 6,000 in total, are effectively furloughed; • At the end of March 2020, Tao Group Hospitality eliminated essentially all of its venue line staff and manager positions, with limited numbers of employees returning as operations slowly resume. In August 2020, Tao Group Hospitality reduced its corporate workforce, and made additional reductions in venue and corporate positions during the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2021; • We reduced our regular full-time workforce by approximately 350 positions in August, with a modest additional reduction in November 2020; • We have implemented and are continuing to pursue additional comprehensive cost reduction measures, including terminating certain third-party services, negotiating reduced rates and/or reduced service levels with third parties, and pursuing targeted savings and reductions in spending on marketing and travel and entertainment, and deferring or limiting non-essential operating or other discretionary expenses; • We have successfully negotiated certain relief and deferral of cash payments from landlords and other vendors. Conversations with third parties are ongoing as we continue to pursue additional options, some of which may or may not be successful; and • In November 2020, MSG National Properties, LLC (“MSG National Properties”) and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a five-year $650,000 senior secured term loan facility (“National Properties Term Loan Facility”). See Note 12 for further details of National Properties Term Loan Facility. Disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and are likely to continue to have, a significant and negative impact on Tao Group Hospitality’s operations and financial performance. In August 2020, Tao Group Hospitality entered into an amendment to the Tao Senior Credit Agreement, which suspended certain financial covenants through December 31, 2021 and increased the minimum liquidity requirement. In addition, in connection with the amendment, our wholly owned subsidiary MSG Entertainment Group, LLC (“MSG Entertainment Group”) entered into a guarantee agreement, which also included a minimum liquidity requirement for MSG Entertainment Group. See Note 12 for more information regarding the amendment to the Tao Senior Credit Agreement. If recovery from the pandemic takes longer than currently estimated, Tao Group Hospitality may need to seek covenant waivers in the future. Tao Group Hospitality's failure to obtain debt covenant waivers could trigger a violation of these covenants and lead to default and acceleration of all of its outstanding debt, which could have a material adverse effect on Tao Group Hospitality and the Company. See Note 1 to the Company’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for impairment charges recorded by the Company for Tao Group Hospitality in Fiscal Year 2020. There was no impairment charge recorded by the Company for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020. However, the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may result in future impairment charges that management will evaluate as facts and circumstances evolve over time. Refer to Note 7 and Note 9 for further detail of the Company’s intangible assets, long-lived assets and goodwill.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Policies	Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Combination For the periods prior to the Entertainment Distribution, the combined financial statements include assets and liabilities that were historically held at Former Parent’s corporate level but were specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. All intercompany transactions between the Company and Former Parent have been included in the combined financial statements as components of MSG Sports’ investment. Expenses related to corporate allocations prior to the Entertainment Distribution were considered to be effectively settled in the combined financial statements at the time the transaction was recorded, with the offset recorded against MSG Sports’ investment. All significant intracompany transactions and accounts within the Company's consolidated and combined financial statements have been eliminated. After the Entertainment Distribution, the consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company include the accounts from Tao Group Hospitality and BCE, in which the Company has controlling voting interests. The Company’s consolidation criteria are based on authoritative accounting guidance for voting interest or variable interest entities. Tao Group Hospitality and BCE are consolidated with the equity owned by other stockholders shown as redeemable or nonredeemable noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and the other stockholders’ portion of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) shown as net income (loss) or comprehensive income (loss) attributable to redeemable or nonredeemable noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations and consolidated and combined statements of comprehensive income (loss), respectively. See Note 2 to the Company’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding the classification of redeemable noncontrolling interests of Tao Group Hospitality and the elimination of the three-month lag in the consolidation of Tao Group Hospitality in Fiscal Year 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, investments, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, tax accruals and other liabilities. In addition, estimates are used in revenue recognition, income tax, performance and share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, litigation matters and other matters, as well as in the valuation of contingent consideration and noncontrolling interests resulting from business combination transactions. Management believes its use of estimates in the financial statements to be reasonable. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the general economic environment and actions it may take in the future. The Company adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. However, these estimates may involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. In addition, these estimates are based on management’s best judgment at a point in time and, as such, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results. Changes in estimates resulting from weakness in the economic environment or other factors beyond the Company’s control could be material and would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements in future periods. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016 , the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ ASU ”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. ASU No. 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology in previous GAAP with a methodology that requires the reflection of expected credit losses and consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates at inception. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, which amends ASC Topic 326 to provide an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses , to provide clarification guidance in a number of areas, including: (i) expected recoveries for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, (ii) transition relief for troubled debt restructuring, (iii) disclosures related to accrued interest receivables, and (iv) financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions. For most financial instruments, the standard requires the use of a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, which will generally result in the earlier recognition of credit losses on financial instruments. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses and Leases, which includes amendments pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement as part of the FASB’s broader disclosure framework project. ASU No. 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosures providing greater focus on requirements that clearly communicate the most important information to the users of the financial statements with respect to fair value measurements. Most of the disclosure requirements in ASU No. 2018-13 are required to be applied on a retrospective basis except for the guidance related to (i) unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income, (ii) disclosure related to range and weighted average Level 3 unobservable inputs and (iii) narrative disclosure requirements on measurement uncertainty, which are required to be applied on a prospective basis. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans — General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. ASU No. 2018-14 removes certain disclosures that are not considered cost beneficial, clarifies certain required disclosures and adds additional disclosures. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract . ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance also specifies that the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows presentation of capitalized implementation costs and the related amortization should align with the presentation of the hosting (service) element of the arrangement. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, to the extent future costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement are capitalizable, the corresponding amortization will be included in “Direct operating expenses” or “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations depending on the nature of the related arrangement, rather than “Depreciation and amortization.” In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities . ASU No. 2018-17 amends the variable interest entities (“VIE”) guidance to align the evaluation of a decision maker’s or service provider’s fee in assessing a variable interest with the guidance in the primary beneficiary test. Specifically, indirect interests held by a related party that is under common control are to be considered on a proportionate basis, rather than in their entirety, when assessing whether the fee qualifies as a variable interest. The proportionate basis approach is consistent with the treatment of indirect interests held by a related party under common control when evaluating the primary beneficiary of a VIE. When a decision maker or service provider has an interest in a related party, regardless of whether they are under common control, they consider that related party’s interest in a VIE on a proportionate basis throughout the VIE model, for both the assessment of a variable interest and the determination of a primary beneficiary. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 . ASU No. 2018-18 clarifies that certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC Topic 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU No. 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825 — Financial Instruments . This ASU provides narrow-scope amendments to help apply these recent standards. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 in connection with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 discussed above. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-08, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements — Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. This ASU requires that share-based payment awards issued to a customer in connection with a revenue arrangement be recorded as a reduction of the transaction price in revenue. The amount recorded as a reduction of the transaction price is measured using the grant-date fair value of the award and is classified in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Changes in the measurement of the share-based payments after the grant date that are due to the form of the consideration are not included in the transaction price and are recorded elsewhere in the statement of operations. The award is measured and classified under ASC Topic 718 for its entire life, unless the award is modified after it vests and the grantee is no longer a customer. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments in this ASU clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. In addition, the amendments clarify the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under ASC Topic 815. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . This ASU eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach in ASC Topic 740 and includes methods of simplification to the existing guidance. The new guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the FASB’s monitoring of global reference rate activities. The new guidance was effective upon issuance, and the Company is allowed to elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Contracts with Customers See Note 4 to the Company’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding the details of the Company’s revenue recognition policies. All revenue recognized in the consolidated and combined statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC Topic 606 except for $2,333 and $3,081 of revenues from Arena License Agreements, leases and subleases, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any material provision for credit losses on receivables or contract assets arising from contracts with customers. The allowance for credit losses associated with contracts with customers was $9,222 and $9,135 as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The change in allowance for credit losses from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020 was due to a $770 increase in provisions for credit losses and a $682 accounts receivable write off.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Company’s leases primarily consist of certain live-performance venues, entertainment dining and nightlife venues, corporate office space, storage and, to a lesser extent, office and other equipment. The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If a lease is determined to exist, the lease term is assessed based on the date when the underlying asset is made available by the lessor for the Company’s use. The Company’s assessment of the lease term reflects the non-cancellable term of the lease, inclusive of any rent-free periods and/or periods covered by early-termination options which the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise, as well as periods covered by renewal options which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company also determines lease classification as either operating or finance at lease commencement, which governs the pattern of expense recognition and the presentation reflected in the consolidated and combined statements of operations and consolidated and combined statements of cash flows over the lease term. For leases with a term exceeding 12 months, a lease liability is recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement reflecting the present value of the fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term. A corresponding ROU asset equal to the initial lease liability is also recorded, adjusted for any prepaid rent and/or initial direct costs incurred in connection with execution of the lease and reduced by any lease incentives received. The Company includes fixed payment obligations related to non-lease components in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities, as the Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. ROU assets associated with finance leases are presented separate from ROU assets associated with operating leases and are included within Property and equipment, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. For purposes of measuring the present value of the Company’s fixed payment obligations for a given lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on information available at lease commencement, as rates implicit in the underlying leasing arrangements are typically not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate it would pay to borrow on a secured basis and incorporates the term and economic environment surrounding the associated lease. For operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, the initial ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term, along with recognition of interest expense associated with accretion of the lease liability, which is ultimately reduced by the related fixed payments. For leases with a term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”), any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. Variable lease costs for both operating and finance leases, if any, are recognized as incurred and such costs are excluded from lease balances recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the Company excluded its ground lease with Las Vegas Sands Corp. (“Sands”) associated with MSG Sphere in Las Vegas from the ROU asset and lease liability balance recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as the ground lease will have no fixed rent. Under the ground lease agreement, Sands will receive priority access to purchase tickets to events at the venue for inclusion in hotel packages or other uses, as well as certain rent-free use of the venue to support its Expo Center business. However, if certain return objectives are achieved, Sands will receive 25% of the after-tax cash flow in excess of such objectives. The ground lease is for a term of 50 years, commencing upon substantial completion of the MSG Sphere. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s existing operating leases, which are recorded on the accompanying financial statements, have remaining lease terms ranging from 10 months to 18 years. In certain instances, leases include options to renew, with varying option terms in each case. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s discretion and is considered in the Company’s assessment of the respective lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The following table summarizes the ROU assets and lease liabilities recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020: Line Item in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet December 31, June 30, Right-of-use assets: Operating leases Right-of-use lease assets $ 198,464 $ 220,328 Lease liabilities: Operating leases, current Operating lease liabilities, current $ 54,963 $ 53,388 Operating leases, noncurrent Operating lease liabilities, noncurrent 155,440 174,219 Total lease liabilities $ 210,403 $ 227,607 The following table summarizes the activity recorded within the Company’s consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: Three Months Ended Line Item in the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations December 31, 2020 2019 Operating lease cost Direct operating expenses $ 6,545 $ 11,333 Operating lease cost Selling, general and administrative expenses 5,029 5,102 Short-term lease cost Direct operating expenses — 12 Variable lease cost Direct operating expenses 271 1,696 Variable lease cost Selling, general and administrative expenses 15 14 Total lease cost $ 11,860 $ 18,157 Six Months Ended Line Item in the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations December 31, 2020 2019 Operating lease cost Direct operating expenses $ 12,952 $ 19,574 Operating lease cost Selling, general and administrative expenses 10,124 9,917 Short-term lease cost Direct operating expenses — 348 Variable lease cost Direct operating expenses 547 3,230 Variable lease cost Selling, general and administrative expenses 38 27 Total lease cost $ 23,661 $ 33,096 Supplemental Information For the six months ended December 31, 2020, cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $25,272. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not have new operating lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use lease assets. The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was 5.7 years. The weighted average discount rate was 9.27% as of December 31, 2020 and represented the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate, assuming a secured borrowing, based on the remaining lease term at the time of either (i) adoption of the standard or (ii) the period in which the lease term expectation was modified. Maturities of operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020 are as follows: Fiscal Year 2021 (remainder) $ 25,115 Fiscal Year 2022 60,298 Fiscal Year 2023 56,801 Fiscal Year 2024 38,529 Fiscal Year 2025 23,356 Thereafter 90,972 Total lease payments 295,071 Less imputed interest 84,668 Total lease liabilities (a) $ 210,403 ________________ (a) Operating lease payments exclude minimum lease payments related to a location associated with the entertainment dining and nightlife offerings as the Company has not yet taken possession of the space. Lessor Arrangements In connection with the Entertainment Distribution, the Company entered into Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that, among other things, require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden in exchange for fixed monthly license fees over the term of the agreements. The Company accounts for these license fees as operating lease revenue given that the Company provides MSG Sports with the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from The Garden during Knicks and Rangers home games. Operating lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Arena License Agreements. In the case of the Arena License Agreements, the lease terms relate to non-consecutive periods of use when MSG Sports uses The Garden for their professional sports teams’ home games, and operating lease revenue is therefore recognized ratably as events occur. The Arena License Agreements provide that license fees are not required to be paid by MSG Sports during periods when The Garden is unavailable for use due to a force majeure event. As a result of government-mandated suspension of events at The Garden beginning on March 13, 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Garden was not available for use by MSG Sports from the effective date of the Arena License Agreements through the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021, and, accordingly, the Company did not record any operating lease revenue for this arrangement during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. During a portion of the three months ended December 31, 2020, The Garden reopened for games of the Knicks and the Rangers but fans were not permitted to attend due to governmental restrictions. The Knicks played four games at The Garden in December 2020 and the Company recorded $1,585 of revenues under the Arena License Agreements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020. In addition, the Company recorded other lease and sublease revenues of $748 and $1,496 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

The net intercompany loan outstanding balances under the Tao Subordinated Credit Agreement, as amended, were $62,000 and $49,000 as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The balances and interest-related activities pertaining to the Tao Subordinated Credit Agreement, as amended, have been eliminated in the consolidated and combined financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation . The Tao Senior Credit Agreement provides TAOG with senior secured credit facilities (the “Tao Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) consisting of: (i) an initial $40,000 term loan facility with a term of five years (the “Tao Term Loan Facility”) and (ii) a $25,000 revolving credit facility with a term of five years (the “Tao Revolving Credit Facility”). Up to $5,000 of the Tao Revolving Credit Facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit. All borrowings under the Tao Revolving Credit Facility, including, without limitation, amounts drawn under the revolving line of credit are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions. The Tao Senior Secured Credit Facilities were obtained without recourse to the Company or any of its affiliates (other than TAOG, TAOIH and its subsidiaries and in respect of a certain reserve account, each as discussed below). The Tao Senior Credit Agreement requires Intermediate Holdings to comply with a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.00:1.00 and a maximum senior leverage ratio of 3.00:1.00 from the closing date until December 31, 2021 and a maximum total leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00 and a maximum senior leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00 from and after December 31, 2021. In addition, there is a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 for TAOIH. On August 6, 2020, TAOG and TAOIH entered into an amendment to the Tao Senior Credit Agreement, which suspended the application of the financial maintenance covenants thereunder, modified certain restrictive covenants therein through December 31, 2021, modified the applicable interest rates and increased the minimum liquidity requirement for the outstanding balance of $33,750 under the Tao Term Loan Facility and for the $25,000 availability under the Tao Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, in connection with the amendment, the Company, through its direct wholly owned subsidiary, MSG Entertainment Group, entered into a guarantee and reserve account agreement (i) to guarantee the obligations of TAOG under the Tao Senior Credit Agreement, (ii) to establish and grant a security interest in a reserve account that initially held a deposit of approximately $9,800 and (iii) with a covenant to maintain a minimum liquidity requirement of no less than $75,000 at all times. The balance held in the reserve account was approximately $8,100 as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, TAOG, TAOIH and the restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with the covenants of the Tao Senior Credit Agreement. All obligations under the Tao Senior Credit Agreement are guaranteed by MSG Entertainment Group, TAOIH and TAOIH’s existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than (i) TAOG, (ii) domestic subsidiaries substantially all of whose assets consist of controlled foreign corporations and (iii) subsidiaries designated as immaterial subsidiaries or unrestricted subsidiaries) (the “Tao Subsidiary Guarantors”, and together with TAOIH, the “Tao Guarantors”). All obligations under the Tao Senior Credit Agreement, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by the reserve account noted above and substantially all of the assets of TAOG and each Tao Guarantor (collectively, “Tao Collateral”), including, but not limited to, a pledge of the equity interests in TAOG held directly by TAOIH and the equity interests in each Tao Subsidiary Guarantor held directly or indirectly by TAOIH. Borrowings under the Tao Senior Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate, which at the option of the Senior Borrower may be either (a) a base rate plus an additional rate ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% per annum (determined based on a total leverage ratio) (the “Base Rate”), or (b) a Eurocurrency rate plus an additional rate ranging from 2.50% to 3.50% per annum (determined based on a total leverage ratio) (the “Eurocurrency Rate”), provided that through December 31, 2021, the additional rate used in calculating the floating rate is (i) 1.50% per annum for borrowings bearing the Base Rate, and (ii) 2.50% per annum for borrowings bearing the Eurocurrency Rate. The Tao Senior Credit Agreement requires TAOG to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% in respect of the daily unused commitments under the Tao Revolving Credit Facility. TAOG is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees, as well as fronting fees, to banks that issue letters of credit pursuant to the Tao Senior Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the Tao Senior Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2020 was 2.65%. There was $6,500 and zero borrowing outstanding under the Tao Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Tao Group Hospitality utilized $750 of the Tao Revolving Credit Facility for issuance of letters of credit and the remaining borrowing available as of December 31, 2020 was $17,750. During the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company made interest payments of $554 and $1,218, respectively, under the Tao Senior Credit Agreement. In addition to the financial covenants described above, the Tao Senior Credit Agreement and the related security agreements contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default. The Tao Senior Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions on the ability of TAOIH, TAOG and its restricted subsidiaries to take certain actions as provided in (and subject to various exceptions and baskets set forth in) the Tao Senior Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the following: (i) incurring additional indebtedness and contingent liabilities; (ii) creating liens on certain assets; (iii) making investments, loans or advances in or to other persons; (iv) paying dividends and distributions or repurchasing capital stock; (v) engaging in certain transactions with affiliates; (vi) amending specified agreements; (vii) merging or consolidating; (viii) making certain dispositions; and (ix) entering into agreements that restrict the granting of liens. Intermediate Holdings is subject to a customary passive holding company covenant. Subject to customary notice and minimum amount conditions, TAOG may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Tao Senior Credit Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except for customary breakage costs with respect to Eurocurrency loans). The initial Tao Term Loan Facility amortizes quarterly in accordance with its terms from June 30, 2019 through March 31, 2024 with a final maturity date on May 23, 2024. TAOG is required to make mandatory prepayments of the Tao Term Loan Facility from the net cash proceeds of certain sales of assets (including Tao Collateral) or casualty insurance and/or condemnation recoveries (in each case, subject to certain reinvestment, repair or replacement rights) and the incurrence of certain indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions. See Note 13 to the Company’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding the Company’s debt maturities for the Tao Senior Secured Credit Facilities. National Properties Term Loan Facility On November 12, 2020, MSG National Properties, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, MSG Entertainment Group and certain subsidiaries of MSG National Properties entered into a five-year $650,000 senior secured term loan facility (the “National Properties Term Loan Facility”). The proceeds of the National Properties Term Loan Facility may be used to fund working capital needs, for general corporate purposes of MSG National Properties and its subsidiaries, and to make distributions to MSG Entertainment Group. The National Properties Term Loan Facility includes a minimum liquidity covenant, pursuant to which MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries are required to maintain a specified minimum level of average daily liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and available revolving commitments, over the last month of each quarter. From the closing date until the first anniversary of the National Properties Term Loan Facility, the minimum liquidity threshold is $450,000, which is reduced each quarter by the amount of cash usage, subject to a minimum liquidity floor of $200,000. After the first anniversary, the minimum liquidity level is reduced to $200,000. If at any time the total leverage ratio of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries is less than 5.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any four consecutive fiscal quarter period or MSG National Properties obtains an investment grade rating, the minimum liquidity level is permanently reduced to $50,000. The principal obligations under the National Properties Term Loan Facility are to be repaid in quarterly installments in an aggregate amount equal to 1.00% per annum (0.25% per quarter), with the balance due at the maturity of the facility. The National Properties Term Loan Facility will mature on November 12, 2025. Borrowings under the National Properties Term Loan Facility bear interest at a floating rate, which at the option of MSG National Properties may be either (i) a base rate plus a margin of 5.25% per annum or (ii) LIBOR, with a floor of 0.75%, plus a margin of 6.25% per annum. The interest rate on the National Properties Term Loan Facility as of December 31, 2020 was 7.00%. During the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company was not required to make interest or principal payments under the National Properties Term Loan Facility. All obligations under the National Properties Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by MSG Entertainment Group and MSG National Properties’ existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, other than the subsidiaries that own The Garden, BCE and certain other excluded subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). All obligations under the National Properties Term Loan Facility, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain of the assets of MSG National Properties and the Subsidiary Guarantors (collectively, “Collateral”) including, but not limited to, a pledge of some or all of the equity interests held directly or indirectly by MSG National Properties in each Subsidiary Guarantor. The Collateral does not include, among other things, any interests in The Garden or the leasehold interests in Radio City Music Hall and the Beacon Theater. Under certain circumstances, MSG National Properties is required to make mandatory prepayments on loans outstanding, including prepayments in an amount equal to a specified percentage of excess cash flow in any fiscal year and prepayments in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of certain sales of assets or casualty insurance and/or condemnation recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment, repair or replacement rights), in each case subject to certain exceptions. In addition to the minimum liquidity covenant, the National Properties Term Loan Facility and the related security agreement contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The National Properties Term Loan Facility contains certain restrictions on the ability of MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries to take certain actions as provided in (and subject to various exceptions and baskets set forth in) the National Properties Term Loan Facility, including the following: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) create liens on certain assets; (iii) make investments, loans or advances in or to other persons; (iv) pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock (which will restrict the ability of MSG National Properties to make cash distributions to the Company); (v) repay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness; (vi) change its lines of business; (vii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; (viii) amend their respective organizational documents; (ix) merge or consolidate; and (x) make certain dispositions. As of December 31, 2020, MSG National Properties and its restricted subsidiaries were in compliance with the covenants of the National Properties Term Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2020, the principal repayments required for the next five years under the National Properties Term Loan Facility are as follows: Fiscal Year 2021 (remainder) $ 3,250 Fiscal Year 2022 6,500 Fiscal Year 2023 6,500 Fiscal Year 2024 6,500 Fiscal Year 2025 6,500 Thereafter 620,750 $ 650,000 Deferred Financing Costs In connection with the National Properties Term Loan Facility, the Company incurred a $19,500 original issue discount and $14,417 of issuance costs (collectively, “deferred financing costs”). The deferred financing costs are amortized, as interest expense, over the term of the National Properties Term Loan Facility on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. The following table summarizes the outstanding balances under the Tao Term Loan Facility, the Tao Revolving Credit Facility and the National Properties Term Loan Facility, as well as the related deferred financing costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes For the periods prior to the Entertainment Distribution, the Company did not file separate tax returns as the Company was included in the tax grouping of other MSG Sports entities within the respective entity’s tax jurisdiction. The income tax provision included in these periods has been calculated using the separate return basis, as if the Company filed a separate tax return. Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2020 of $323 differs from income tax benefit derived from applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to the pretax loss primarily due to tax expenses of (i) $35,819 related to an increase in valuation allowance, (ii) $2,337 resulting from the acceleration of share-based compensation expense in connection with the cancellation of certain awards, and (iii) $891 related to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by state income tax benefit of $12,705. Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2020 of $486 differs from income tax benefit derived from applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to the pretax loss primarily due to tax expenses of (i) $64,251 related to an increase in valuation allowance, (ii) $2,337 resulting from the acceleration of share-based compensation expense in connection with the cancellation of certain awards, (iii) $1,840 related to noncontrolling interests, and (iv) $1,669 resulting from nondeductible officers’ compensation, partially offset by state income tax benefit of $22,519. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company made income tax payments of $15,526 related to taxable income recognized in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2020. Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2019 of $1,255 differs from income tax expense derived from applying the statutory federal rate of 21% to the pretax income primarily due to a tax benefit related to a decrease in valuation allowance of $27,074, partially offset by state income tax expense of $9,621 and tax expense of $1,318 resulting from nondeductible officers’ compensation.

The Company has also entered into certain commercial agreements with its nonconsolidated affiliates in connection with MSG Sphere. For the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded approximately $24,989 and $7,370, respectively, of capital expenditures in connection with services provided to the Company under these agreements. As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, accrued capital expenditures associated with related parties were $9,151 and $2,121, respectively, and are reported under other accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues and Operating Expenses (Credits) The following table summarizes the composition and amounts of the transactions with the Company’s affiliates. These amounts are reflected in revenues and operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Revenues $ 5,262 $ 984 $ 9,280 $ 7,459 Operating expenses (credits): Revenue sharing expenses $ 15 $ 47,214 $ 96 $ 65,502 Allocation of charges for venue usage to MSG Sports — (20,025) — (22,104) Corporate general and administrative expenses, net — MSG Sports (8,445) (32,720) (18,625) (63,813) Corporate general and administrative expenses, net — MSG Networks (2,334) (2,602) (4,877) (5,204) Advertising expenses — 101 — 144 Other operating expenses, net 693 34 1,533 123 Revenues Revenues from related parties primarily consist of commissions earned in connection with the advertising sales representation agreement pursuant to which the Company has the exclusive right and obligation to sell MSG Networks’ advertising availabilities. In addition, amounts disclosed above for Fiscal Year 2021 include the Company’s revenues from sponsorship sales and representation agreements with MSG Sports in connection with the Entertainment Distribution. In connection with the Entertainment Distribution, the Company entered into Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that, among other things, require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden in exchange for fixed monthly license fees over the term of the agreements. The Company accounts for these license fees as operating lease revenue given that the Company provides MSG Sports with the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from The Garden during Knicks and Rangers home games, as further detailed in Note 8. The Arena License Agreements provide that license fees are not required to be paid by MSG Sports during periods when The Garden is unavailable for use due to a force majeure event. As a result of government-mandated suspension of events at The Garden beginning on March 13, 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Garden was not available for use by MSG Sports from the effective date of the Arena License Agreements through the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 and, accordingly, the Company did not record any operating lease revenue for this arrangement during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. During a portion of the three months ended December 31, 2020, The Garden reopened for games of the Knicks and the Rangers but fans were not permitted to attend due to governmental restrictions. The Knicks played four games at The Garden in December 2020 and the Company recorded $1,585 of revenues under the Arena License Agreements. In addition, the Company recorded $611 and $1,229 of sublease revenue from related parties during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Revenue Sharing Expenses Prior to the Entertainment Distribution, revenue sharing expenses with MSG Sports included the Company’s suite license arrangements and venue signage and sponsorship agreements entered into by the Company and sales of in-venue food and beverages were recorded on a gross basis. MSG Sports’ share of the Company’s revenue related to such arrangements is recognized as a component of direct operating expenses. After the Entertainment Distribution, revenue sharing expenses include MSG Sports’ share of the Company’s suite license arrangements and certain venue signage agreements entered into by the Company. Allocation of Charges for Venue Usage to MSG Sports For purposes of the Company’s combined financial statements prior to the Entertainment Distribution, the Company allocated to MSG Sports certain expenses for the usage of The Garden, which are reported as a reduction of direct operating expense in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations. Fees recognized by the Company under the Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports for use of The Garden are reported as operating lease revenues in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. Because The Garden was closed by government mandate, the Company did not recognize operating lease revenue under the Arena License Agreements for the three months ended September 30, 2020. During a portion of the three months ended December 31, 2020, The Garden reopened for games of the Knicks and the Rangers and the Company recorded $1,585 of revenues under the Arena License Agreements. Corporate General and Administrative Expenses, net — MSG Sports Prior to the Entertainment Distribution, allocations of corporate overhead and shared services expense were recorded by both the Company and MSG Sports for corporate and operational functions based on direct usage or the relative proportion of revenue, headcount or other measures of the Company or MSG Sports. The Company’s corporate overhead expenses primarily related to centralized functions, including executive management, finance, treasury, tax, internal audit, legal, information technology, human resources and risk management functions. After the Entertainment Distribution, corporate general and administrative expenses, net – MSG Sports reflects charges from the Company to MSG Sports pursuant to the TSA of $8,710 and $19,773 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Corporate General and Administrative Expenses, net — MSG Networks The Company’s corporate overhead expenses that are charged to MSG Networks are primarily related to centralized functions, including executive compensation, finance, treasury, tax, internal audit, legal, information technology, human resources and risk management functions. Corporate general and administrative expenses, net – MSG Networks reflects charges from the Company to MSG Networks under the MSG Networks Services Agreement of $2,374 and $2,641 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, corporate general and administrative expenses, net – MSG Networks reflects charges from the Company to MSG Networks under the MSG Networks Services Agreement of $4,748 and $5,282, respectively. Advertising Expenses The Company incurs advertising expenses for services rendered by its related parties, primarily MSG Networks, most of which are related to the utilization of advertising and promotional benefits by the Company. Other Operating Expenses, net The Company and its related parties enter into transactions with each other in the ordinary course of business. Amounts charged to the Company for other transactions with its related parties are net of amounts charged by the Company to the Knickerbocker Group, LLC, an entity owned by James L. Dolan, the Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, for office space and the cost of certain technology services. In addition, other operating expenses include net charges relating to (i) reciprocal aircraft arrangements between the Company and each of Q2C and CFD and (ii) time sharing agreements with MSG Sports, MSG Networks and AMC Networks. Nonoperating Expense Miscellaneous expense, net includes a contributory charge to MSG Sports related to the participation of MSG Sports and corporate employees in the Shared Plans and Postretirement Plan, of $56 and $111 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Cash Management MSG Sports uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. The Company and other MSG Sports or MSG Sports subsidiaries’ cash was available for use and was regularly “swept” historically. Transfers of cash both to and from MSG Sports are included as components of MSG Sports Investment on the combined statements of divisional equity and redeemable noncontrolling interests. The main components of the net transfers (to)/from MSG Sports are cash pooling/general financing activities, various expense allocations to/from MSG Sports, and receivables/payables from/to MSG Sports deemed to be effectively settled upon the distribution of the Company by MSG Sports. Related Party Transactions In connection with the Entertainment Distribution, the Company and MSG Sports entered into arrangements with respect to transition services and a number of ongoing commercial relationships, including Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports requiring the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden. Additionally, on April 17, 2020, subsidiaries of MSG Sports, MSG NYK Holdings, LLC and MSG NYR Holdings, LLC, entered into the DDTL Facilities with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as lender. The DDTL Facilities provided for a $110,000 and $90,000 senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facilities, for MSG NYK Holdings, LLC and MSG NYR Holdings, LLC, respectively. On November 6, 2020, each of MSG NYK Holdings, LLC and MSG NYR Holdings, LLC delivered notice to the Company that they had secured third-party debt and, as a result, all commitments under their applicable DDTL Facilities were terminated.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting Disclosure	Segment Information The Company is comprised of two reportable segments: Entertainment and Tao Group Hospitality. In determining its reportable segments, the Company assessed the guidance of ASC 280-10-50-1, which provides the definition of a reportable segment. In accordance with the FASB’s guidance, the Company takes into account whether two or more operating segments can be aggregated together as one reportable segment as well as the type of discrete financial information that is available and regularly reviewed by its CODM. The Company has evaluated this guidance and determined that there are two reportable segments. In addition, the Company incurs non-capitalizable content development and technology costs associated with the Company’s MSG Sphere initiative, which are reported in “Entertainment.” In addition to event-related operating expenses, Entertainment also includes other expenses such as (a) corporate and supporting department operating costs that are attributable to MSG Sphere development and (b) non-event related operating expenses for the Company’s venues such as (i) rent for the Company’s leased venues, (ii) real estate taxes, (iii) insurance, (iv) utilities, (v) repairs and maintenance, (vi) labor related to the overall management of the venues, and (vii) depreciation and amortization expense related to the Company’s performance venues and certain corporate property, equipment and leasehold improvements. Additionally, the Company does not allocate any purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions to the reporting segments. The Company evaluates segment performance based on several factors, of which the key financial measure is operating income (loss) before (i) adjustments to remove the impact of non-cash straight-line leasing revenue associated with the Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports, (ii) depreciation, amortization and impairments of property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, (iii) amortization for capitalized cloud computing arrangement costs (see Note 2 for further details), (iv) share-based compensation expense or benefit, (v) restructuring charges or credits, and (vi) gains or losses on sales or dispositions of businesses and associated settlements, which is referred to as adjusted operating income (loss), a non-GAAP measure. In addition to excluding the impact of the items discussed above, the impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to business acquisitions is also excluded in evaluating the Company’s consolidated and combined adjusted operating income (loss). Because it is based upon operating income (loss), adjusted operating income (loss) also excludes interest expense (including cash interest expense) and other non-operating income and expense items. Management believes that the exclusion of share-based compensation expense or benefit allows investors to better track the performance of the various operating units of the Company’s business without regard to the settlement of an obligation that is not expected to be made in cash. In addition, the Company believes that given the length of the Arena License Agreements and resulting magnitude of the difference in leasing revenue recognized and cash revenue received, the exclusion of non-cash leasing revenue provides investors with a clearer picture of the Company's operating performance. The Company believes adjusted operating income (loss) is an appropriate measure for evaluating the operating performance of its business segments and the Company on a consolidated and combined basis. Adjusted operating income (loss) and similar measures with similar titles are common performance measures used by investors and analysts to analyze the Company’s performance. The Company uses revenues and adjusted operating income (loss) measures as the most important indicators of its business performance, and evaluates management’s effectiveness with specific reference to these indicators. Adjusted operating income (loss) should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, and other measures of performance and/or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Since adjusted operating income (loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures with similar titles used by other companies. The Company has presented the components that reconcile operating income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to adjusted operating income (loss). Information as to the operations of the Company’s reportable segments is set forth below.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation and Combination For the periods prior to the Entertainment Distribution, the combined financial statements include assets and liabilities that were historically held at Former Parent’s corporate level but were specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. All intercompany transactions between the Company and Former Parent have been included in the combined financial statements as components of MSG Sports’ investment. Expenses related to corporate allocations prior to the Entertainment Distribution were considered to be effectively settled in the combined financial statements at the time the transaction was recorded, with the offset recorded against MSG Sports’ investment. All significant intracompany transactions and accounts within the Company's consolidated and combined financial statements have been eliminated. After the Entertainment Distribution, the consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, the consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company include the accounts from Tao Group Hospitality and BCE, in which the Company has controlling voting interests. The Company’s consolidation criteria are based on authoritative accounting guidance for voting interest or variable interest entities. Tao Group Hospitality and BCE are consolidated with the equity owned by other stockholders shown as redeemable or nonredeemable noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and the other stockholders’ portion of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) shown as net income (loss) or comprehensive income (loss) attributable to redeemable or nonredeemable noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of operations and consolidated and combined statements of comprehensive income (loss), respectively.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, investments, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, tax accruals and other liabilities. In addition, estimates are used in revenue recognition, income tax, performance and share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, litigation matters and other matters, as well as in the valuation of contingent consideration and noncontrolling interests resulting from business combination transactions. Management believes its use of estimates in the financial statements to be reasonable. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the general economic environment and actions it may take in the future. The Company adjusts such estimates when facts and circumstances dictate. However, these estimates may involve significant uncertainties and judgments and cannot be determined with precision. In addition, these estimates are based on management’s best judgment at a point in time and, as such, these estimates may ultimately differ from actual results. Changes in estimates resulting from weakness in the economic environment or other factors beyond the Company’s control could be material and would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements in future periods.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016 , the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ ASU ”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. ASU No. 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology in previous GAAP with a methodology that requires the reflection of expected credit losses and consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates at inception. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, which amends ASC Topic 326 to provide an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses , to provide clarification guidance in a number of areas, including: (i) expected recoveries for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, (ii) transition relief for troubled debt restructuring, (iii) disclosures related to accrued interest receivables, and (iv) financial assets secured by collateral maintenance provisions. For most financial instruments, the standard requires the use of a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, which will generally result in the earlier recognition of credit losses on financial instruments. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses and Leases, which includes amendments pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement as part of the FASB’s broader disclosure framework project. ASU No. 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosures providing greater focus on requirements that clearly communicate the most important information to the users of the financial statements with respect to fair value measurements. Most of the disclosure requirements in ASU No. 2018-13 are required to be applied on a retrospective basis except for the guidance related to (i) unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income, (ii) disclosure related to range and weighted average Level 3 unobservable inputs and (iii) narrative disclosure requirements on measurement uncertainty, which are required to be applied on a prospective basis. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans — General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. ASU No. 2018-14 removes certain disclosures that are not considered cost beneficial, clarifies certain required disclosures and adds additional disclosures. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract . ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance also specifies that the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows presentation of capitalized implementation costs and the related amortization should align with the presentation of the hosting (service) element of the arrangement. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, to the extent future costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement are capitalizable, the corresponding amortization will be included in “Direct operating expenses” or “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations depending on the nature of the related arrangement, rather than “Depreciation and amortization.” In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities . ASU No. 2018-17 amends the variable interest entities (“VIE”) guidance to align the evaluation of a decision maker’s or service provider’s fee in assessing a variable interest with the guidance in the primary beneficiary test. Specifically, indirect interests held by a related party that is under common control are to be considered on a proportionate basis, rather than in their entirety, when assessing whether the fee qualifies as a variable interest. The proportionate basis approach is consistent with the treatment of indirect interests held by a related party under common control when evaluating the primary beneficiary of a VIE. When a decision maker or service provider has an interest in a related party, regardless of whether they are under common control, they consider that related party’s interest in a VIE on a proportionate basis throughout the VIE model, for both the assessment of a variable interest and the determination of a primary beneficiary. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 . ASU No. 2018-18 clarifies that certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC Topic 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU No. 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825 — Financial Instruments . This ASU provides narrow-scope amendments to help apply these recent standards. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021 in connection with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 discussed above. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-08, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Codification Improvements — Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. This ASU requires that share-based payment awards issued to a customer in connection with a revenue arrangement be recorded as a reduction of the transaction price in revenue. The amount recorded as a reduction of the transaction price is measured using the grant-date fair value of the award and is classified in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Changes in the measurement of the share-based payments after the grant date that are due to the form of the consideration are not included in the transaction price and are recorded elsewhere in the statement of operations. The award is measured and classified under ASC Topic 718 for its entire life, unless the award is modified after it vests and the grantee is no longer a customer. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments in this ASU clarify that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC Topic 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. In addition, the amendments clarify the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under ASC Topic 815. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes . This ASU eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach in ASC Topic 740 and includes methods of simplification to the existing guidance. The new guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and clarifies some of its guidance as part of the FASB’s monitoring of global reference rate activities. The new guidance was effective upon issuance, and the Company is allowed to elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Leases [Abstract]
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]	The Company’s leases primarily consist of certain live-performance venues, entertainment dining and nightlife venues, corporate office space, storage and, to a lesser extent, office and other equipment. The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the arrangement. If a lease is determined to exist, the lease term is assessed based on the date when the underlying asset is made available by the lessor for the Company’s use. The Company’s assessment of the lease term reflects the non-cancellable term of the lease, inclusive of any rent-free periods and/or periods covered by early-termination options which the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise, as well as periods covered by renewal options which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company also determines lease classification as either operating or finance at lease commencement, which governs the pattern of expense recognition and the presentation reflected in the consolidated and combined statements of operations and consolidated and combined statements of cash flows over the lease term. For leases with a term exceeding 12 months, a lease liability is recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at lease commencement reflecting the present value of the fixed minimum payment obligations over the lease term. A corresponding ROU asset equal to the initial lease liability is also recorded, adjusted for any prepaid rent and/or initial direct costs incurred in connection with execution of the lease and reduced by any lease incentives received. The Company includes fixed payment obligations related to non-lease components in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities, as the Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single lease component. ROU assets associated with finance leases are presented separate from ROU assets associated with operating leases and are included within Property and equipment, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. For purposes of measuring the present value of the Company’s fixed payment obligations for a given lease, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined based on information available at lease commencement, as rates implicit in the underlying leasing arrangements are typically not readily determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate it would pay to borrow on a secured basis and incorporates the term and economic environment surrounding the associated lease.
Lessor, Leases [Policy Text Block]	In connection with the Entertainment Distribution, the Company entered into Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports that, among other things, require the Knicks and the Rangers to play their home games at The Garden in exchange for fixed monthly license fees over the term of the agreements. The Company accounts for these license fees as operating lease revenue given that the Company provides MSG Sports with the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from The Garden during Knicks and Rangers home games. Operating lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Arena License Agreements. In the case of the Arena License Agreements, the lease terms relate to non-consecutive periods of use when MSG Sports uses The Garden for their professional sports teams’ home games, and operating lease revenue is therefore recognized ratably as events occur.
