Season 1 of NBA 2K26 is now live following the game`s early access release, kicking off in-game events with a host of rewards across all game modes. This initial season sets the tone for exciting gameplay and player progression.
A major addition this year is the inclusion of WNBA athletes in MyTeam mode. Season 1 rewards highlight this new era, granting players immediate access to a Ruby version of Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum. The two-time WNBA champion, boasting an 89 OVR rating, also provides valuable bonuses: three Promo Packs and a Double XP Coin to help players get started.
As players progress through MyTeam rewards in Season 1, they will also acquire an Amethyst version of Houston Rockets center Steven Adams and Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris, alongside coach Billy Donovan. A Diamond version of Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young becomes available at Level 30, offering a significant boost to any roster.
Level 35 introduces the game`s first truly powerful cards: a Pink Diamond version of Las Vegas Aces center A`ja Wilson, a two-time WNBA Champion and three-time MVP, featuring an impressive 96 OVR rating. Upon reaching Level 40, players can also obtain a Pink Diamond version of Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson, rounding out a formidable collection of early-season stars.
Rewards for MyCareer and The City modes include a decorative Shaquille O`Neal MyCourt Mural and the entertaining Oklahoma City Thunder Mascot skin, enabling players` virtual avatars to don the iconic bison costume while competing on the court. These cosmetic items add a fun, personalized touch to the gameplay experience.
