NBA 2K26 Season 1 Key Features

Almost every event in Season 1 is tied to 2× REP boosts. If you’re looking to level up fast, the Wear & Earn events are the easiest way to stack progress just by equipping specific outfits.
2. Special Gameplay Twists
Events like Midway and The Deep End go beyond just cosmetic requirements, altering the gameplay experience with score-based rewards and even a 4-point line, forcing players to adjust strategies.
3. Squad-Centric Competitions
The Basketball Godz event is where competitive players shine. With maxed builds and boosted stats, it all comes down to streaks and team chemistry.
4. MyTEAM Tie-In
Every Wear & Earn event also applies to Triple Threat Park in MyTEAM. Whether you prefer The City or building squads, you’ll have parallel opportunities for progression.
