According to the United States Census Bureau, the hamlet's total area is 1.724 square miles (4.47 km²).

Bridgeport straddles the northward-flowing Chittenango Creek, which serves as the boundary between Onondaga County's town of Cicero on the west side of the creek and Madison County's town of Sullivan on the east side of the creek. The hamlet's namesake bridge spans the creek, which empties into Oneida Lake 2.25 linear miles approximately north-northwest of the bridge. There is no other bridge across Chittenango Creek north of Bridgeport, nor one within several linear miles to the south.

New York State Route 31 is an east-west highway through the community (the bridge over Chittenango Creek is on Route 31); the north end of New York State Route 298 terminates at Route 31 in the hamlet, just west of Chittenango Creek.
