NBA and WNBA Players Can Finally Play Together in ‘NBA 2K…

2K has unveiled the new slate of features and improvements coming to MyTeam in NBA 2K26 when it drops next month.

MyTeam is getting a big overhaul for this year’s entry in the long-running franchise, and will allow players to collect WNBA Player Cards for the first time. This also means that you can pair WNBA and NBA players on the same team, allowing them to share the same court. They’ve also specified that badges and attributes of WNBA and NBA Player Cards function the same so that gameplay is “balanced.”

“MyTEAM is where competition meets a basketball fan’s wildest imagination,” said VP of NBA Development at Visual Concepts, Erick Boenisch. “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.”

This is the first time WNBA Player Cards have been integrated into all of the MyTeam modes and features. Examples of the opportunities this open include pairing Paige Bueckers with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, or throwing a lob from Sheryle Swoopes to Shaquille O’Neal. Additionally, the game is introducing Game Changer Cards, which provide special power-ups.

NBA 2K26 will release worldwide on September 5 for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and the Switch 2, and Windows.
