NBA 2K26 is back, and so are the badges that you’ll need to master to take your MyPlayer to the elite level.
Badges once again have certain requirements that you’ll need to keep in mind. Not every build can utilize every badge, and the restrictions are based on certain stats and, in some cases, your MyPlayer height. Let’s take a look at all the badges available inside the game this year, along with their requirements.
