The NBA season has officially come to a close, with the Oklahoma City Thunder narrowly defeating the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy. But if you’re eager for the new season to start, you’ll find preorders open for NBA 2K26–and there are some enticing reasons to reserve the game ahead of its September 5 release. You’ll also find several editions up for grabs, some of which include 7-day early access and heaps of in-game goodies. Here’s a look at NBA 2K26 preorders to help you decide which is best for your needs.
NBA 2K26 Preorder Bonuses
All preorders include 10,000 Virtual Currency to help you get started on your career. If you preorder a digital copy of the standard edition, Superstar Edition, or Leave No Doubt Edition through the PlayStation Store, you’ll also get two MyTEAM Promo Packs and a MyPLAYER Gamerplate.

Note that PlayStation’s MyTEAM Promo Packs and MyPLAYER Gamerplate are limited to standard edition preorders, and physical copies of the WNBA Edition are exclusive to GameStop.
