Season 1 of NBA 2K27 tips off with early access on Wednesday, August 26, 2026 at 9:00 AM PT. For the first time, the season rewards ladder and season pass are merged into a single 40-level track that you progress in both The City and MyTEAM, with cross-progression between them. Check off each level below as you claim it, and come back every season: this page tracks the current season at the top and keeps every previous season's rewards below it. Reward slots marked "To be announced" will be filled in as soon as the full ladder is visible in game.
August 26 to early October 2026 (end date not yet confirmed)
