NBA 2K26 Season 1 has officially tipped off, dropping a fresh lineup of rewards across both MyTEAM and MyCAREER modes. Whether you’re grinding the courts in MyCAREER or building your dream lineup in MyTEAM, Season 1 is stacked with gear, cosmetics, boosts, and premium exclusives: if you’re willing to put in the time.

This season introduces a total of 80 rewards: 40 for MyCAREER and 40 for MyTEAM. And if you’re looking to go all-in, the Pro Pass adds even more premium content, including unique cosmetics, XP boosts, and some legendary swag.
The breakdown: Free and premium rewards
You earn rewards by levelling up your Season Reward Path, which progresses as you play games in either mode. Best part? Thanks to a shared progression system, playing one mode gains XP for both paths, so no wasted effort.
Let’s get into the nitty-gritty. Here’s the full list of what you’ll unlock as you climb through Season 1 in NBA 2K26:

Tips to max out the reward ladder
Here’s the deal: levelling up isn’t passive. It takes gameplay, smart grinding, and using those Double XP coins strategically. Whether you’re dominating The REC, racking up wins in Triple Threat, or simply checking in for your daily objectives, every bit helps. And thanks to that cross-mode XP system, playing what you love most still gets you those juicy rewards across the board.
Not feeling the Pro Pass? That’s cool; there are still generous rewards on the free path. But if you’re eyeing those exclusive emotes, mascots, and Vince Carter jerseys, the Pro Pass might just scratch that itch.
When does NBA 2K26 Season 1 End?
The exact end date for Season 1 hasn’t been confirmed yet, but most 2K seasons run for about 6 weeks. So, if you want those top-tier rewards, don’t wait: it’s grind time!
NBA 2K26 Season 1 is packed with value from top to bottom. From fire cosmetics and historical jerseys in MyCAREER to elite player cards and badges in MyTEAM, there’s truly something for every kind of baller this season.
Whether you’re a Park legend, a MyTEAM tactician, or somewhere in between, this season is all about leveling up: and looking good while doing it.
So lace up, pick your path, and start climbing that ladder. We’ll see you at Level 40.
