Bold shift: NBA 2K26 Season 3 centers Cade Cunningham as its defining icon.
Basketball’s rising All-Star standout from 2025, Cade Cunningham, is the poster figure for Season 3 of NBA 2K26. His influence drives a fresh wave of cosmetics and thematic updates in the latest content drop. Additionally, players will receive a Pink Diamond MyTeam Cunningham card as part of the Season 3 Pro Pass, adding a coveted collectible for fans of the rising star.
Season 3 introduces Park battles set in a locale inspired by Sunset Beach from NBA 2K16, and these games will activate a 25 percent REP boost for MyPlayer characters. That makes it a smart pick for players looking to accelerate upgrades and stat progression.
Kyle Kuzma kicks off this season’s MyTeam rewards. The Milwaukee Bucks forward starts at 89 OVR and can evolve to 91 OVR through his Evolution item. Rounding out the early offerings, an Amethyst Jalen Duren is available at Level 10 to honor his current career-high points and rebounds, while Level 20 unlocks a Diamond Kyrie Irving at 98 OVR.
Coaching legends enter the mix as well. Rick Carlisle becomes a Pink Diamond Coach at Level 28, leveraging decades of head-coaching experience. At Level 30, Alonzo Mourning appears with a 96 OVR Pink Diamond card that still trails the season’s two ultimate rewards: Galaxy Opal Paige Bueckers and Anthony Edwards, both rated at 98 OVR. Between these top-tier cards, players can find packs, in-game currency, and other resources across the mid-tier rewards.
There’s also a chance to secure a Pink Diamond Jalen Brunson (96 OVR) through the NBA 2K26 MyTeam Mobile app, offering an additional route for collectors and competitors alike.
