NYC's new area code is revealed. Here's when it will be activated.
New York City's new area code has been revealed about three weeks after it was first announced.
The New York State Public Service Commission said Thursday phone numbers starting with 465 will eventually be assigned to customers in all five boroughs.
The 465 area code will be used with new phone numbers in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the Marble Hill section of Manhattan as early as October 2026, according to the commission.
It will not be assigned until every 347, 718, 917 and 929 number is taken. Existing phone numbers will not change.
Why is NYC getting a new area code?
In January, the Public Service Commission approved what's known as an all-services area code overlay for New York City.
"With increased telephone usage, we must accommodate the growing demand for phone numbers," Commission Chair Rory M. Christian said Thursday. "The new area code will ensure that there are enough phone numbers available for New Yorkers."
Officials said demand for new phone numbers is largely driven by new technology, like cellphones and tablets, and is a sign of economic growth.
Long Island got a new area code in January 2023, when it shifted from 516 to 363.
For the past several years, new area codes in New York and the U.S. were created using the same overlay method, officials said.

Tish gets ripped! New Yorkers not impressed with AG James' crackdown on gyms
That's weak. New Yorkers ripped state Attorney General Letitia James' online boast about her crackdown on Equinox gyms. James — who is facing a criminal probe of her own — got hundreds of nasty remarks after posting on social media about the $600,000 fine she levied on the gym chain for making it too tough for customers to cancel their memberships. 'New Yorkers should never have to break a sweat when they cancel a gym membership,' James' office wrote in a May 30 Facebook post. James under investigation by the feds for mortgage fraud. Robert Miller But New Yorkers were not impressed. 'Nice to see NY representatives are focused on the important stuff,' quipped commenter Cynthia Schieber Weiss. 'This is what progressives focus on. Minutia,' wrote Matt Ziccardi. Only customers who'd previously filed formal complaints will get refunds, up to $250 apiece, less than a single month's membership at the swanky gym. Equinox settled with the attorney general office for $600,000 for 'unlawfully making it difficult' to cancel a membership. JHVEPhoto – 'Really helping out there,' mocked Facebook user Eric Smith. 'You need to be worried about the investigation going on against you as we speak,' posted another. 'Will you be working out in the prison yard?' snarked Jerry West. A spokesperson for Equinox told The Post it made changes to its membership last year and is now in 'full compliance' with the law. The company didn't answer when asked if that meant people could now cancel their memberships any time without penalty. James' office did not respond to The Post's request for comment.

BRYAN SEELEY NAMED INAUGURAL CEO OF THE COLLEGE SPORTS COMMISSION
Long-time MLB executive brings wealth of legal, executive experience to new role WASHINGTON, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The College Sports Commission, the newly established independent body tasked with overseeing the transformative changes to college athletics following the landmark House settlement, is proud to announce the selection of Bryan Seeley as its first Chief Executive Officer. A deeply experienced legal and operational leader with a distinguished career in professional sports and public service, Seeley will lead the Commission as a new era of fairness, integrity, and opportunity begins in college athletics. Seeley will officially begin this role in the near future. Seeley brings with him a wealth of experience handling high-profile legal and compliance matters and building teams to perform complex work in the sports industry. Most recently, Seeley served as Executive Vice President, Legal & Operations at Major League Baseball (MLB) where he served on MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's executive leadership team, oversaw investigations into a wide range of issues including circumvention of international compensation caps, and developed and enforced rules in evolving policy areas such as legalized sports betting. Prior to joining MLB in 2014, Seeley served for eight years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C. where he prosecuted a wide variety of criminal activity. His collaborative leadership style and proven ability to navigate sensitive matters make him uniquely suited to guide the College Sports Commission in implementing the settlement's terms, enforcing the new rules and fostering a sustainable future for college athletics. As the first CEO of the College Sports Commission, Seeley will build out the organization's investigative and enforcement teams and oversee all of its ongoing operations and stakeholder relationships. The College Sports Commission, under Seeley's leadership, will work to continuously educate student-athletes and schools about the new rules, how to comply with them and how to use the new technology systems (CAPS and NIL Go) that the Commission is putting in place. Seeley and his team will also be responsible for enforcement of the new rules around revenue sharing, student-athlete third-party name image and likeness (NIL) deals, and roster limits. The Commission will investigate potential rules violations, make factual determinations, issue penalties where appropriate, and participate in the neutral arbitration process set forth in the settlement as necessary. Reflecting on his appointment, Seeley said: "I am honored to serve as the first CEO of the College Sports Commission at this pivotal moment in the history of collegiate athletics. I look forward to implementing a system that prioritizes fairness, integrity, and opportunity, while preserving the values that make college sports unique. I am energized by the work ahead and excited to begin building out our team." Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner Jim Phillips, Big Ten Conference Commissioner Tony Petitti, Big 12 Conference Commissioner Brett Yormark and Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey released the following joint statement, expressing enthusiasm for Seeley's leadership: "Bryan brings unwavering integrity and a wealth of relevant experience to his new role leading the College Sports Commission and working to ensure a smooth implementation of this new system. We're grateful to have an individual with his credentials and expertise at the helm, and we look forward to his leadership as we transition into this new era of college sports." "Bryan is an exceptional choice to lead the College Sports Commission," said Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. "During his time at MLB, Bryan demonstrated unparalleled integrity, a commitment to fairness, and the ability to navigate complex challenges with precision and care. I have no doubt he will bring the same level of excellence to the College Sports Commission. College sports will greatly benefit from Bryan's expertise and vision." Seely's appointment follows the announcement of the court approval of the House v. NCAA settlement agreement and the subsequent establishment of the College Sports Commission.
