Table of Content

NBA 2K26 opens the year by aligning Season 4 with the 2026 NBA All-Star festivities in Los Angeles. Victor Wembanyama and Tyrese Maxey take the spotlight as the Season’s featured players, with All-Star beats running through MyCAREER and MyTEAM. The update brings back a community-favorite park from earlier entries and expands build options for MyPLAYER. Below are the key beats drawn from the official announcement and feature rundown.

MyCAREER – All-Star focus and a classic park returns

Season 4 emphasizes All-Star weekend competition – the 3-point contest, the Slam Dunk Contest, and a push for a starting spot in the All-Star Game – as a showcase for your MyPLAYER under the bright lights.

The headline change is the return of Rivet City Championship Park, the elevated court set above The City from NBA 2K16. It’s back for Season 4 in NBA 2K26, offering play spaces themed for high-flying action and a +25% REP Boost during the Season.

NBA build templates – Rookie of the Year tribute

New NBA build templates arrive in the MyPLAYER Builder, paying homage to past Rookie of the Year winners spanning two eras. The Season 4 lineup includes:

• Steve Francis – Point Guard (1999-2000)
• Brandon Roy – Shooting Guard (2009-2010)
• Ben Simmons – Small Forward (2017-2018)
• Paolo Banchero – Power Forward (2022-2023)
• Victor Wembanyama – Center (2023-2024)

Season 3 community-made builds also remain highlighted, spanning shifty scoring guards to defensive, rim-running forwards and centers – useful if you want to expand your toolkit with proven archetypes.

MyTEAM – headliner cards and level milestones

Season 4 rolls out a modern-era slate for MyTEAM, with notable rewards tied to progression levels. Maxey’s rise is central – the official update underscores his Most Improved leap in 2024 and an average of 31.5 points per game, ranking third behind Luka Dončić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – and that’s reflected in his starter card. Key cards include:

• Level 1 – Amethyst Tyrese Maxey (Evo; can upgrade to 94 OVR)
• Level 10 – Diamond Thabo Sefolosha
• Level 20 – Pink Diamond DeAndre Jordan
• Level 28 – Galaxy Opal Coach Tyronn Lue
• Level 30 – Galaxy Opal Bradley Beal
• Level 35 – Dark Matter Angel Reese
• Level 40 – Dark Matter Russell Westbrook (99 OVR)

These cards span offense-first scorers, defensive stoppers, rebounding anchors, and coaching leadership, aimed at bolstering both single-player and multiplayer MyTEAM lineups.
