NBA 2K26

The quest to become an NBA champion doesn’t start in the regular season—it starts in the offseason.

The early mornings in the weight room, long nights in the gym, and sleepless nights thinking about the Larry O’Brien trophy separate the greats from the best. With a new champion crowned, teams look to retool and regroup for next year’s title run. Superstars are on the move, and the basketball landscape is bracing for total transformation.

As the competition grows stronger, master your skills and become a dominant force like Season 8 hero Shaquille O’Neal, so you can impose your will when it matters most in The City*, MyCAREER, and MyTEAM.

MyCAREER

Shaquille O’Neal announced his arrival to the NBA in a big way, commanding the Orlando Magic and the paint with an unprecedented combination of power and athleticism. In four years with the Magic, O’Neal shattered backboards and expectations, despite already being a highly-touted No. 1 overall pick. His punishing playstyle on the court and decorated resume cemented him as one of the best big men of all time.

During Season 8, make an immediate impact like O’Neal and overpower the competition in MyCAREER, as you continue your pursuit of GOAT status. Flex all-new rewards with your Crew and put in the work to reach Level 40.

Defend the Old Town Courts

Grab your friends and defend your title as the Park MVP at the Old Town courts from NBA 2K15. Set in the heart of an urban neighborhood, patrol the paint as an enforcer and play with grit to clean the glass and motivate your team to victory. Climb your way up the rankings and tower over rival Crews at the top of the leaderboard.

Splash into Summer with New Rewards

Show off your drip in Season 8 with fresh cosmetics, including eye-popping hairstyles, NBA mascots, and animated onesies.

Candace Parker card, scoring buckets with her wealth of experience as a two-time MVP and three-time WNBA Champion.

Reach Level 10 and receive an Invincible Jalen Suggs card to guard the opposing team’s star guard and be an active presence in passing lanes.

Level 20 Invincible DeAndre Jordan (Los Angeles Clippers)

A founding member of ‘Lob City,’ DeAndre Jordan energized an era of Clippers basketball with high-flying dunks and vicious blocks. Use the Level 20 Invincible DeAndre Jordan card to go up and catch soaring lobs—and force defenders to decide between ending up on a poster or giving up two points.

Level 30 Invincible Jamal Crawford (Los Angeles Clippers)

‘J Crossover’ was a smooth assassin with the ball in his hands. The three-time Sixth Man of the Year made mid-range jumpshots look effortless, and he was a master at the art of separation. Capable of being a complementary piece or getting a bucket at will, Level 30 Invincible Jamal Crawford is an offensive weapon in any MyTEAM lineup

Level 35 G.O.A.T. Chris Paul (Los Angeles Clippers)

‘The Point God’ led the Los Angeles Clippers to new heights during his first six-year stint with the team. Paul completely changed the culture of the franchise with his winning mindset, Hall of Fame court vision, and defensive pride. Widely regarded as one of the greatest point guards to ever play the game, the Level 35 G.O.A.T. Chris Paul card is more than a difference maker on the court.

Level 40 G.O.A.T. Paolo Banchero (SF/PF)

Shaquille O’Neal set the standard for Orlando Magic rookies during the 1992-1993 season, earning the first Rookie of the Year award in franchise history.

Level 10 Galaxy Opal Dillon Brooks

A legitimate candidate for this year’s Most Improved Player award, Dillon Brooks has stepped up as a scorer in the wake of Devin Booker’s injuries this season. Brooks’ tenacious, pesky defense is his calling card, but his development as a playmaker and shot creator for the Phoenix Suns has been noteworthy. Give your squad an edge and a chip on its shoulder with the Level 10 Galaxy Opal Dillon Brooks card.

Level 20 Dark Matter Richard Jefferson

Richard Jefferson carved out a successful 17-year NBA career as a versatile, athletic wing.

Complement your stars with the Level 20 Dark Matter Richard Jefferson card and add a veteran presence to your group.

Level 28 Dark Matter Mike D'Antoni Coach Card

Head Coach Mike D’Antoni helped revolutionize basketball into what it is today: fast-paced offense and a lot of three-point attempts. Over the years, D’Antoni’s high pick-and-roll scheme turned the Phoenix Suns, with Steve Nash and A’mare Stoudemire, and the New York Knicks, led by Carmelo Anthony, into some of the best offensive juggernauts we’ve seen in the past 20 years. Insert the Level 28 Dark Matter Mike D’Antoni card into your lineup and assemble a roster of shooters to execute his system to perfection.

Level 30 Dark Matter Dennis Rodman

Add one of the best rebounders in NBA history and a two-time, back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year winner to your lineup with the Level 30 Dark Matter Dennis Rodman card. Rodman’s size and physical brand of basketball help him cover any position on the court; blanket smaller guards with overpowering pressure or anchor the paint with lockdown defense in the post.

Level 35 100 OVR Lisa Leslie

When you think of players who deserve to be on the WNBA Mount Rushmore, Lisa Leslie is a lock for one of the four spots. The Hall of Fame center dominated her era at both ends of the floor; she finished her 12 seasons in the WNBA with three MVP awards, two Defensive Player of the Year awards, two WNBA Finals rings, and two WNBA Finals MVP trophies. Give your squad a championship pedigree and plenty of rim protection with the Level 35 100 OVR Lisa Leslie card.

Level 40 100 OVR Shaquille O'Neal (Miami Heat)

Following his three-peat with the Los Angeles Lakers, Shaquille O’Neal took his talents, via trade, to South Beach to team up with budding superstar Dwyane Wade. Together, the duo dominated the Eastern Conference and captured the first championship in Miami Heat history. Add the Level 40 100 OVR Shaquille O’Neal card to your lineup and impose your will in the paint.

Prepare for the Playoffs with a championship-caliber MyTEAM and a host of all-new rewards!

While 2K is building the definitive basketball universe—uniting the NBA, WNBA, and soon the collegiate ranks under one banner—we’re bringing the campus energy to The City and MyTEAM by featuring 16 iconic universities and some of their biggest stars.

Season 5 features all-new content from UCLA, Duke, Arizona, Kansas, Texas, Michigan, Michigan State, Louisville, Purdue, Kentucky, Florida, UNC, Baylor, Houston, Ohio State, and UConn. Celebrate the next generation of players, starring Cameron Boozer and Lauren Betts, ready to carry the torch, while paying homage to the collegiate roots of superstars like Kevin Durant and Paige Bueckers, with a host of college-themed cosmetics and rewards.

Authentically representing the scale of college hoops is an ambitious project that begins with our foundational college basketball experience available in early 2027. We’ll have more details to share on that in the future, but for now, it’s time to get in the spirit and dive into everything Season 5 has to offer.

MyTEAM

The NBA, WNBA, and 16 of college basketball’s most esteemed schools joining forces in MyTEAM is a historic moment. Season 5 will include select players from each school’s Men’s and Women’s team, all-new challenges, and special alumni-themed rewards.

College Celebration Box

The addition of current college stars to MyTEAM calls for celebration. To kickstart your MyTEAM experience during Season 5, we’re gifting players a College Celebration Box with 5 Free Agent Option Packs, allowing you to quickly collect and play with the sport’s leading playmakers. To access your College Celebration Box, visit the Market and it will be available for redemption.

Each pack in the College Celebration Box will contain a selection of current college players, allowing you to choose one card from each pack to build a starting 5. Each player card from the College Celebration Box will be eligible to use for five games, so choose wisely and get started creating one-of-a-kind lineups.

Daily Challenge Games

From Season 5’s tipoff through March 30, current college players will be spotlighted daily via Challenge Games. NBA 2K players will be tasked with defeating an all-time version of the reward players’ college team, and upon completion will be rewarded an Evolution 94 OVR Diamond version of the featured college player. Playing 5 games with the player will evolve them to a 96 OVR Pink Diamond, and completing the final stat-based requirements will unlock their 98 OVR Galaxy Opal version! 

There are 41 evolution rewards for these current college stars available to earn, starting with Cam Boozer and Lauren Betts, providing plenty of incentive to keep your eye on the prize all Season long. The challenges will rotate through various MyTEAM formats, 3v3 Triple Threat, 5v5 Clutch Time, and Full Lineup games which will use collegiate-inspired rulesets.

Alumni Player Cards

This Season, we’re leaning into nostalgia with some blasts from the past, rolling out alumni-themed NBA and WNBA player cards from their college years. Starting with the launch of Season 5, you can collect players from all 16 featured schools, including former Blue Devils, Wildcats, Gators, Buckeyes, and more.

Level 1 Diamond V.J. Edgecombe (Baylor Evo Card)

Jumpstart Season 5 with the Level 1 Diamond V.J. Edgecombe Evo card, and showcase the former Baylor product’s explosive athleticism in MyTEAM. Before he launched himself into NBA Rookie of the Year conversations, Edgecombe was a human highlight reel in college, where he put his high-flying skills and defensive prowess on display. Evolve this card into a Pink Diamond by completing Edgecombe’s college career-highs: 30 points in a game, 6 3-pointers in a game, and 7 assists in a game.

Level 10 Pink Diamond Marvin Bagley III (Duke)

Bagley’s lone season as a Duke Blue Devil was a historic one. The versatile stretch forward became the third player in conference history to lead the league in scoring (21 ppg), rebounding (11.1 rpg), and field goal percentage (61.4%). Bagley’s exceptional rebounding and soft touch in the paint made him a walking double-double. Use the Level 10 Pink Diamond Marvin Bagley III card to roll to the basket or fade to the elbow for an easy pick-and-pop. 

Level 20 Galaxy Opal Jason Williams (Florida)

In 1997-1998, the college basketball world got its first taste of Jason Williams, aka ‘White Chocolate.’ At the University of Florida, Williams put on a show with creative no-look passes and one-handed dimes through the lane. His relentless pace and calculated decision-making often looked like controlled chaos, which made him a nightmare for opposing teams to defend. Add the Level 20 Galaxy Opal Jason Williams card to your lineup and dissect defenses with pinpoint passing and playmaking.

Level 28 Dark Matter Larry Brown Coach Card (Kansas)

A true teacher of the game, Larry Brown taught his players to be masters of the fundamentals, instilling a dedication to the details. It’s because of this philosophy that Brown earned a championship pedigree, becoming the only coach in history to win a college championship and an NBA championship. Help your MyTEAM play the right way with the Level 28 Dark Matter Larry Brown Coach card.

Level 30 Dark Matter Richard Hamilton (UConn)

An iconic member of UConn’s first national title, Richard ‘Rip’ Hamilton was a mid-range maestro whose smooth scoring led the Huskies offensively. ‘Rip’ antagonized defenses with his slippery off-ball movement, slithering through screens before catching a pass and knocking down an open mid-range shot. Use the Level 30 Dark Matter Richard Hamilton card in the half-court game to excel along the perimeter.

Level 35 100 OVR Breanna Stewart (UConn)

Historic, dominant, unstoppable. Breanna Stewart’s four years as a UConn Husky were the greatest stretch for any college basketball player in the history of the sport. She became the only player to win four consecutive championships and be named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player four times. Every facet of her game was undeniably great and translated to more success at the WNBA level.

Level 40 100 OVR Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors)

Draymond Green has always been the Golden State Warriors’ x-factor. His high basketball IQ, vocal leadership, and position versatility were key in helping head coach Steve Kerr’s squad build a dynasty and raise the Larry O’Brien trophy four times. Give your MyTEAM a veteran presence with the Level 40 100 OVR Draymond Green card and put on a playmaking clinic with point guard and power forward eligibility at both ends of the floor.

In addition, reaching Level 2 of the Season rewards ladder will bolster your MyTEAM collection with more than 100 cards, consisting of Court cards, Uniform cards, with women’s versions, and logos from all 16 schools featured in Season 5.

Level up and earn XP to start claiming all-new content, and add MyCAREER rewards in the process.
