Crews are a new feature introduced with NBA 2K26 and serve as social platforms to grind together with friends and random players for Crew Rewards. Each Crew has a maximum membership limit of 50 players, and the entire Crew levels up as its members earn CXP (Crew Experience) by playing matches. The primary reason to do so is the Crew Rewards feature, which benefits all members for leveling up the Crew. One of the most appealing rewards you can obtain is a total of four Cap Breakers for reaching Crew Level 30

How To Create a Crew in NBA 2K26

  • Open the game menu and head to the Crews tab. 
  • Select “Start a Crew.” 
  • Choose the name, abbreviation, bio, team colors, logo, Crew background, Crew privacy, focus, active times, vibe, primary language, and regions.
    • Crew Privacy: Open, Invite Only, or Private.

Alternatively, you can join a Crew by searching for it from the “Join Crew” option. Once you create or join a Crew, its logo and level will appear on your MyPlayer nameplate to show off your affiliation. Although the Crew Rank caps out at level 30, any score the members continue to earn will contribute to the Crew’s ranking on the Crew Leaderboards.
