It’s an annual tradition for passionate NBA 2K players to dive into a Twitch Drop-enabled livestream and bag some exclusive in-game rewards. This whole watch-and-earn approach is a part of 2K’s marketing campaign to boost engagement on partnered channels and their video games as well. Similar to the previous entry, NBA 2K26 also follows this pattern and grants rewards in exchange for watch time. Here’s everything you need to know to get these Twitch drops in NBA 2K26.
How To Get Twitch Drops In NBA 2K26
Before we dive into the process of getting the Twitch drops, let’s review the timeline. The campaign began on August 28, 2025, and will last till September 25, 2025. Make sure you get all the rewards during this time; otherwise, you’ll miss out on some freebies. That said, follow these simple steps to earn and claim Twitch Drops in NBA 2K26.
Watching The Twitch Streams
First and foremost, you need to engage with a 2K-partnered streamer and watch their Twitch Drop-enabled livestreams. To identify such sessions, look for a Drop notification at the top. Once identified, you have to stay on that stream and fulfill its watch time requirement to become eligible for claiming a reward. You can expect the following rewards at each duration.
- 45 Minutes: MyTEAM 1 Hour 2XP Coin, MyCAREER 1 Hour 2XP Coin
- 2 Hours: MyTEAM ‘26 Series 1 Deluxe Pack (Unauctionable), MyCAREER 1 Hour 2XP Coin
- 4 Hours: MyTEAM 92+ OVR Free Agent Pack (5 Games), MyCAREER Skill Boosts – 5x All Categories
Claiming Your Reward
The next step is claiming your earned rewards. As soon as you complete the watch time requirement of a Twitch Drop-enabled livestream, a claim notification will pop up. Make sure you claim your Drop in your Twitch Inventory within 24 hours of completing it.
Logging In Through the 2K Website
With the Drop claimed in your Twitch inventory, you are just one step away from using these rewards in-game. Head to 2K’s website page and click on the “Login To Twitch” button. Now, simply type in the same Twitch account details you completed the watch time requirement with and wait up to 48 hours until your Locker Code shows up.
This code is your ticket to the rewards, and just like every other Locker Code in NBA 2K26, you can redeem it either directly through the game or via the NBA 2K Companion App. For those who want to dive into Twitch streams ASAP, these streamers can provide a good starting point.
That’s all for the whole Twitch Drops scenario in NBA 2K26. It’s better to react quickly in this situation, as these rewards can be crucial, especially if you want to earn VC fast.
