Custom Takeovers are one of the most exciting new features added to NBA 2K26, giving players more control over how their MyPlayer dominates on the court. This article will guide the player on how to unlock the Custom Takeover in NBA 2K26.
How Takeovers Work in NBA 2K26
In NBA 2K26, Takeovers now operate on an XP-based progression system:
- At the end of every game (whether it’s in MyCareer NBA games or Park games), you’ll see a Takeover XP screen.
- The XP you earn goes toward filling up your Takeover Circle.
- Once the circle fills, you level up your Takeovers and receive 1 Takeover Token.
Unlocking Takeovers with Tokens
When you head to the Takeover screen, you can use your tokens to unlock new Takeovers.
- At the start, you’ll only have 1 Takeover unlocked by default.
- The rest must be unlocked with tokens.
- There are 44 Takeovers in total, meaning you’ll need to reach 44 Takeover levels to unlock them all.
How to Get Custom Takeovers
After you’ve unlocked all 44 Takeovers using tokens, you’ll gain access to 4 Custom Takeovers. These are special because they allow you to assign different stats and bonuses to fit your playstyle.
Custom Takeovers give players the freedom to create unique advantages tailored to their gameplay style.
