What To Expect In Season 4

As mentioned before, Season 4 will come with a new Season Pass which contains rewards for MyTEAM and MyCAREER. Fortunately, you don't have to play both modes in order to earn XP. If you prefer MyCAREER, then you only need to play MyCAREER to earn the MyTEAM rewards too. Additionally, we can expect another Pro Pass, which features even more rewards if you purchase it.

Furthermore, the new season will likely features new content for The W mode, including Seasonal and Weekly Challenges. We may even see more Community Builds, as well as an update on MyTEAM mobile.

The Courtside Report for Season 4 should arrive next week. We can expect to hear more information then, along with the cover athlete of the season. Stay tuned for the latest report, which should arrive before the season drops.

Overall, that includes everything you need to know about the NBA 2K26 Season 4 Release Date & Patch Notes. We look forward to a brand new season full of rewards for players to earn.
