Today, 2K announced the new features and improvements coming to MyTeam in NBA 2K26, including the addition of WNBA Player Cards for the first time in franchise history. In this milestone addition, players will be able to collect and play with current and historic WNBA players and pair them with their favorite NBA superstars on the same team. Additional updates coming to MyTeam include multiple new game modes, new card types, a beloved location with a new spin, and so much more.
“MyTeam is where competition meets a basketball fan’s wildest imagination,” said Erick Boenisch, VP of NBA Development at Visual Concepts. “By integrating the WNBA into one of our most popular modes, we’re not only giving players the opportunity to customize their all-time dream rosters but shining a spotlight on some of the game’s most iconic hoopers. We’re looking forward to giving our players a new and deeper way to engage with the WNBA. But there is so much more coming to MyTeam this year - from All-Star Team-Up to new weekly cash prizes in King of the Court, there have never been more ways to compete with friends and win big.”
More MyTeam updates include:
The WNBA Joins MyTeam: A very first for NBA 2K, WNBA Player Cards are fully integrated into all MyTeam modes and features. With the introduction of WNBA athletes, players can mix and match stars from both leagues - unlocking more roster possibilities than ever before. Pair Paige Bueckers with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, throw a lob from Sheryl Swoopes to Shaquille O'Neal, or run a pick-and-roll with Angel Reese and Carmelo Anthony. Attributes and Badges function identically for all WNBA and NBA Player Cards ensuring a balanced, consistent gameplay experience no matter who is on the court. To complete the expansion, a dedicated WNBA Domination tier, all WNBA uniforms, and the entirety of the league's set of court floors (featuring the NBA three-point line) have been added to MyTeam. Further underscoring the magnitude of NBA and WNBA players competing side-by-side, brand new commentary has been recorded with the iconic voices of Kevin Harlan, Greg Anthony, and Stan Van Gundy.

The Game Changer Card features special power-ups including activating a REP or MyTeam Points multiplier for the next game; recovering a win streak in Showdown after a loss; reducing the difficulty or target score differential in Domination; automatically-evolving an Evolution card—and dozens more.
