20 October 2021 -

NBA 2K22 Season 2 is only a couple of days away, but there's still a lack of info about what the team is planning for the next chapter. Thankfully we now know when to expect details from 2K, who announced on Twitter that they'll be dropping details "tomorrow". This was posted at 12:00AM on October 20. So expect to see an official announcement on Season 2 on October 21.

NBA 2K22 Season 2 Release Date

With Season 1 of the NBA 2K22 campaign drawing to a close, it's time to start turning our attention towards the launch of Season 2.

Season 1: Call to Ball will end this Friday (October 22nd), but there will be no time to grieve for the loss, as Season 2 will take centre stage straight away.

As always, the season will run for six weeks, giving you until Friday, December 3rd to pick up the required XP to collect all of the Season 2 rewards.

We've not yet had the Season 2 rewards confirmed, although we are expecting to see MyCareer, Neighborhood and The City feature.

At the time of writing 2K has not shared a start time for the new season, but we suspect we'll learn more later this week.

NBA 2K22 Season 2 Rumours & Leaks

Call to Ball has been a huge success with the NBA 2K faithful, so we are expecting to see 2KSports ride the wave with another top-tier release.

We haven't had any official confirmation as to what the title of Season 2 will be, but as always, the rumour mill is rife.

As highlighted by our friends over at RealSport101, Season 2 of NBA 2K21 was titled: "NEXT IS NOW" but that was more to tie in with the release of the Next Gen consoles, so it's unlikely that we see 2KSports head down that avenue this year.

As far as the top-tiered, level 40 reward is concerned, plenty are hoping to see some form of mascot skin arrive. They were previously only available to purchase, but with 2K now a couple of months into action, we could well see the devs decide to start handing them out to those who grind the game.

But if we're being realistic, it's more likely that we see some form of hoverboard or similar arrive at the end of the Season 2 rewards list, it has been rumoured that we will see the mascot skins arrive as part of the Season 3 rewards, but that has yet to be confirmed.

We will undoubtedly see a new promotion or two find its way into the MyTEAM servers, with a spooky, Halloween themed set of cards likely to be on the agenda. Expect to see pack-based rewards for these cards land in the Season 2 rewards list.

NBA 2K22 Season 1 Locker Codes

And, as always, there will be plenty of Locker Codes that will become available throughout the course of Season 2 but you should make sure to grab the existing active NBA 2K22 Locker Codes for Season 1 before they expire.

What is a Locker Code you ask? Locker Codes are essentially strings of text-based codes that you can enter into the game in exchange for rewards you can use in MyTeam mode. The rewards come in many different forms, including Packs, Tokens, Players, MT, and more.
