NBA 2K26 has an extensive slate of rewards lined up for Season 1, and getting everything will require some work. Each NBA 2K26 season will offer 40 total levels with a variety of rewards from several different game modes distributed across the levels.
Even if you don't have the time to make it to level 40, knowing what unlocks at each level can give you goals to shoot for. Season 1 kicked off with the game's early access launch on August 29, and rewards will be available for the next six weeks until the start of Season 2.

How Progress Works In Season 1
Klay Thompson Card NBA 2K26
All the rewards available in NBA 2K26 Season 1 can be a little hard to parse, but if you're not used to how NBA 2K season passes work, it'll all seem a little more straightforward when you're actually making progress in-game. MyCAREER rewards focus on cosmetics and minor perks, including a mascot suit as the level 19 reward. The cards earned as MyTEAM rewards can add valuable players to the court, with the level 40 reward of a Pink Diamond Klay Thompson boasting an impressive 96 rating.
Rewards available outside the Pro Pass can be earned for free. The Pro Pass, on the other hand, will cost $9.99 per season. For $19.99, players can upgrade to the Hall of Fame pass, which includes the same content as well as level skips, boosted XP, and additional currency.
Season rewards aren't crucial enough to stress over, so you're free to just play the game at your own pace if you don't want to grind it out. If you do, however, there's no shortage of rewards to unlock as NBA 2K26 kicks off with Season 1.
