Former President Donald Trump will host a major rally at the Big Apple’s iconic Madison Square Garden later this month, The Post has learned. 

The event, which will be held at MSG’s legendary arena, is set to take place on Oct. 27 — nine days before Election Day — sources said.

A massive turnout is expected for the rally, which will be a first-come, first-serve event. 

Trump, 78, drew about 16,000 fans for a raucous rally at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, Long Island, last month. 

The former president’s Bronx rally over the summer brought up to 10,000 Trump supporters to Crotona Park, which had a permit allowance of 3,500 people.

The World’s Most Famous Arena has the capacity to seat as many as 19,500 inside the main arena.

The Garden — home of the NBA’s New York Knicks and the NHL’s New York Rangers — is no stranger to political gatherings. 

The venue hosted the Democratic National Convention in 1924, 1976, 1980 and 1992, as well as the Republican National Convention in 2004. 

Trump has teased the possibility of holding a rally at the Midtown Manhattan venue — as part of his play to win the Empire State in November — on multiple occasions. 

“[I] think I’ll do one maybe at Madison Square Garden,” he told Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo in February. 

“New York has changed a lot in the last two years,” Trump noted. 

“People that would have never voted for me because I’m a Republican … I think they’re going to vote for me,” he added.

“So I think we’re going to give New York a heavy shot.”

In April, Trump re-upped his belief that an MSG rally would soon take place. 

“We’re going to be doing a rally at Madison Square Garden, we believe,” Trump told reporters in Lower Manhattan, during his hush money trial.

“We think we’re signing Madison Square Garden to do. We’re going to have a big rally honoring the police and honoring the firemen and everybody. Honoring a lot of people, including teachers by the way.”

The Trump campaign did not respond to The Post’s request for comment. 

The campaign is expected to formally announce the rally on Wednesday, in an email to supporters, sources told The Post.
