NBA 2K26 is introducing WNBA players to its MyTeam mode, allowing them to play alongside NBA stars for the first time. This feature expands upon the inclusion of WNBA talent that began with NBA 2K20, when the franchise added 12 WNBA teams. Now, players can enjoy all game modes, including the new Breakout: Gauntlet, where players must complete challenging matches while only using each card a single time. In NBA 2K26, player attributes and badges for both leagues will function similarly, providing a balanced gameplay experience. The game launches on September 5, with Early Access starting August 29, across multiple platforms.

What new features will NBA 2K26 MyTeam mode include?

NBA 2K26 MyTeam mode will include the addition of WNBA players, new player cards, a dedicated WNBA Domination tier, customization options for team uniforms, and league court floors. Players can now use WNBA players in all MyTeam modes, adding depth and diversity to the gameplay.

NBA 2K26 will mark a significant step in the series, complementing the existing women's representation within the franchise. The franchise has been steadily integrating WNBA elements, starting from introducing teams in NBA 2K20 to featuring Candace Parker as the first female cover star in NBA 2K22. This commitment to inclusivity reflects the growing recognition and popularity of women's basketball in the gaming community.
