VC is the most crucial currency to obtain in NBA 2K26, and it can be hard to get at first.
If you haven't opted for the premium version of the game, you'll begin with a handful of VC that you'll burn through quickly. However, VC is required for almost any critical aspect of the game. In MyCareer, VC is needed to level your build quicker (the grind can become monotonous otherwise). In MyTeam, VC is used to open packs and improve your squad.
Thankfully, there are a few key ways to earn more VC in the game (aside from opening your wallet).
How do you earn VC for free in NBA 2K26?
One easy way to obtain VC in NBA 2K26 is from the Season Passes. The Season 1 pass is currently live, and it offers 40 different levels of rewards. Those who opt for the premium upgrade will get at least 30,000 extra VC over the course of the season. However, that's going to cost you more money. If you don't want to spend more after what you have already spent on the game, here are key notes to remember.
- Higher difficulty: Playing games in a higher difficulty raises the challenge, but you get more VC. For example, every complete game in MyNBA rewards you with VC, but the amount goes up if you play at a higher difficulty.
- Complete matches: It might seem productive to sim your MyNBA games to save time, but that reduces the amount of VC you get by a lot. If you want a challenge and have time, try playing a full game at high difficulty. That way, you're less likely to get bored, and you can earn plenty of VC.
- Don't sleep on the additional objectives: Your quests in MyCareer will often have additional clear conditions. You can progress without completing them, but doing the extra stuff gets you more VC and more XP for your build.
- Agendas: Certain Agendas in MyTEAM offer VC. This varies based on the difficulty, and their appearances are random. Always focus on them and finish as many as you can.
- 2KTV: If you have good knowledge, attempting the 2KTV quizzes is a great and fun way to earn VC. You can do so every week, whenever there's a new episode. The first episode for this year is already live with 17 questions, and there's plenty of VC to win. If you want to answer them easily, we have you covered.
In a nutshell, this is all you can do to get VCs.
- Play full games at a higher difficulty.
- Complete quests and agendas.
- Attempt every 2KTV quiz.
Also, NBA 2K occasionally hands out codes that reward VCs. These codes are extremely rare and have limited redemption. If you're quick enough with them, you can land extra VC. However, it's luck-based, so I haven't accounted for them. You can't do them infinitely, unlike the methods mentioned here.
