Seasons have been a core feature of NBA 2K games since NBA 2K22. These major updates welcome fresh challenges and reward-hunting opportunities, keeping the game exciting until the next installment releases. With this year’s NBA 2K26 now in full swing, every player is eager to stay updated with the season timeline, as missing key dates means missing out on some valuable in-game rewards.
To help you stay on top, here are the NBA 2K26 season start and end dates, so you can plan your grind accordingly.
NBA 2K26 Season Release And End Dates
The following table provides release dates for eight action-packed NBA 2K26 seasons, each bringing unique challenges and rewards.
| NBA 2K26 Season | Release Date |
| Season 1 (Ongoing) | 5th September 2025 |
| Season 2 | 17th October 2025 |
| Season 3 | 28th November 2025 |
| Season 4 | 9th January 2026 |
| Season 5 | 20th February 2026 |
| Season 6 | 3rd April 2026 |

At the time of writing, Season 1 is currently underway. It’s still a while until the next season arrives in October, so make sure to bag as many rewards as you can. Each season lasts for six weeks; take them seriously, especially if you are on a quick VC hunt.
To find these dates yourself, you can just head outside the Gatorade Training Facility in MyCareer mode. Here, you can see the entire season schedule on the opposite end of the stadium, where you play your regular-season games.
Finally, it’s also important to keep in mind that any Season Pass content you didn’t unlock won’t be available once the new season starts. If the new season is about to begin and you’re a few rewards short, grind the game, and make sure you get all of them. Otherwise, you’ll lose out on them completely. That said, any content you unlock throughout the season will stay on your account after a new season comes out.
