NBA 2K26 Reveals Multiple Cover Athletes

NBA 2K26 has unveiled its cover athletes, featuring Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the Standard Edition, Angel Reese for the WNBA Edition, and Carmelo Anthony for the Superstar Edition, with all three appearing together on the 'Leave No Doubt' Edition. Gilgeous-Alexander's cover follows his MVP season and NBA title, while Reese's selection comes after her All-Star debut and league-leading rebounding in just her second WNBA season. Carmelo Anthony's Superstar Edition aligns with his 2025 Hall of Fame induction. The WNBA Edition will be a GameStop exclusive in the U.S. The game releases September 5, 2025, with early access beginning August 29. The announcement has sparked discussion, particularly about Caitlin Clark's omission from the WNBA cover.
