WNBA Stars Joining NBA Players in NBA 2K26 MyTeam with New Game Mode Unveiled

Okay, so picture this: NBA 2K26, yeah? It’s finally mixing things up by letting WNBA players jump into the MyTeam mode alongside the dudes. Like, imagine that! You get all these MyTeam modes, plus this fresh Breakout: Gauntlet thingy where, no joke, you’ve got matches getting tougher each time, but hey, you can only play each card once. Sounds a bit brutal, no?

Now, rewind a bit. WNBA teams have been kicking around in this 2K world since, what, 2K20? And then there’s this iconic moment in 2K22 when Candace Parker graced the cover like an absolute queen. Took long enough, right?

Oh, and heads up: whether you’re rolling with an NBA or WNBA player in-game, their performance should be on par. Like, stats and badges are the same, which should make it feel pretty fair and smooth. Or at least, that’s what they claim.

Just before this, EA Sports overhauled their game too. Their FC 26 added some female Icons to that overly hyped Ultimate Team. Apparently, chaps and ladies have been teaming up there for years—though it hasn’t been a cakewalk, to be frank. Some hits, some flops. You know how it goes.

Comparisons? Yeah, definitely gonna be eyeballing how WNBA folks fit into the 2K26 scene—like, EA kinda fumbled it a bit, except for some standout women players.

Oh, and don’t forget! You’re gonna deck out the game with WNBA uniforms and courts. Nice, right? Feels like somewhere, someone thought, “Hey, let’s splash some style in!”

Mark this in your calendar: September 5th for the full launch, but if you’re itching to play, there’s early access on August 29th. Available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, and PC. Just saying—worth keeping an eye on.
