Lace Up for Season 8!
The wait is over! Season 8 of NBA 2K Mobile has officially begun! We’re celebrating the start of the brand-new chapter packed with upgrades, features, and ways to take your squad to the next level.
Season 8 is tipping off with three new tiers, a special NBA Tip-Off in-game event, Shot Feedback Improvement, Top Up, and more!
Let’s run it from the top.
NBA Tip-Off: Bring the HYPE
The NBA season is back, and so is the energy. Celebrate the 2025-2026 NBA Season Tip-Off in NBA 2K Mobile with a special in-game event that puts the excitement and thrill of the season’s first games right in your hands.
Throughout the event, you’ll be collecting Team Tickets and Team Merch by playing NBA 2K Mobile, then trading both in to generate HYPE for rewards. How you play, including what and when you trade in will determine how much HYPE you earn, so strategize wisely.
Want the full breakdown? Check out our Tip-Off event blog post for all the details on collecting Team Tickets, Team Merch, and how you generate HYPE for the 2025-2026 NBA Season Tip-Off.
Cards, Reimagined
Your favorite cards just got a major glow-up. For Season 8 and beyond, we’ve made major advancements for enhanced cards so that every shimmer, every highlight, and every motion now feels more alive with improved lighting, more life, and further depth and dimension with each layer because when you grind for greatness, your cards should reflect just as much.
New Meter, Who Dis?
Shooting is the heartbeat of basketball, and in Season 8 of NBA 2K Mobile, it’s getting major improvements. The revamped Shot Meter, Hot/Cold Floor Meter, and real-time Shot Feedback work together to make every jumper feel smarter, sharper, and more in your control.
Now you’ll know exactly why your shot hit nothing but net or rimmed out. Master your timing, read the floor, and level up your game like never before. Whether you’re draining deep threes or pulling up midrange, these improvements made to Shot Feedback make every shot a learning moment. Perfect your form, find your rhythm, and dominate the court!
Team Colors Take Over
Say goodbye to those plain white kicks. Player's sneakers are now team colorways, repping their team in style!
Tiered Up
Season 8 launches with three brand-new tiers making their debut - Helios, Azure, and Crimson. From rising stars to all-time legends, these tiers bring serious heat to the court. Level up your lineup, flex your grind, and show everyone you’re built for the top.
Rewind, Recharged
Rewind is leveling up for Season 8. You’ll still be able to play your favorite Season 7 Rewind content, but now, Season 8 Rewind cards can be used in both Season 7 and Season 8 Rewind.
We’ve also made improvements with navigation in the Rewind Calendar to help you easily find content to earn Style and Play cards with full access to all Top Plays from Season 7.
Players who picked up the Exclusive and Elite “Spida”, “Dame Time”, and “KD” cards from Summer Drive know what’s up, as they’ll be bringing that fire right into Season 8!
Didn’t snag them? That’s the kind of fire you’ll want in your lineup next time, so keep your eyes on future events so you don’t miss out on powerhouse cards the next time around.
Fresh Looks, Real Feel
Courts, uniforms, and sponsor patches have been updated for the 2025-2026 NBA season. On top of that, we’ve not only added some new players to the game but have also updated the likeness of some returning players.
Pump Up the Pump-Ups
Pump-Ups are entering Season 8 with a rebalance. Starting with Helios-tiered cards and beyond, Pump-Ups now deliver way more value, giving you more control, more power, and more reasons to level up your favorite cards and keep them in your lineup! Leveling cards in Helios-tiered cards and higher will also be a key part of tiering up!
Introducing Benefits Cards
Season 8 brings a new way to boost your experience: the Benefits Card. The Benefits cards, for purchase in the store, provide boosts for 30 days and add perks across multiple areas of the game, including bonuses like reduced time to open H2H packs, increased energy recharge speed, and a daily reward pack.
Grab the Silver Benefits Card for a solid boost to your day-to-day grind or go for Gold to take things even further with expanded and increased bonuses.
You can start with the Silver Benefits Card and upgrade to the Gold Benefits Card at any time. When you upgrade, your 30-day window will restart.
Each Benefits Card is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, so you’re always in control of when you want to activate your next 30 days of benefits.
Top Up: Loyalty That Pays Off
You spend, you earn - it’s as simple as that!
Earn Top Up Points with each purchase, and also when you climb through milestone rewards each week and increase your Top Up Level. Your Top Up Level tracks your all-time progress and the higher level you are, the better your weekly milestone rewards become.
Milestone progress resets weekly
Top Up Levels never reset
Unclaimed rewards are automatically sent to your inbox at the end of each week
With Top Up, you’re constantly making progress towards better rewards, week after week.
It’s tip-off time! Season 8 is calling… are you ready to answer? Hit the court and make your mark!
