NBA 2K26 Lifetime Challenges Tracker

What are NBA 2K26 Lifetime Challenges?

Lifetime Challenges are persistent objectives in NBA 2K26 MyCareer that track your progress across all game modes. There are 300 total challenges available, including tasks like scoring points, getting assists, winning games, and completing specific activities. These challenges carry over between seasons and builds.

How do I access Lifetime Challenges?

Press Triangle (PlayStation) or Y (Xbox) when on your MyPlayer in The City to open the Challenges menu, then select "Lifetime Challenges" to view your progress and available challenges.

What rewards do you get for completing challenges?

You earn rewards at 13 different milestones as you complete challenges. The most valuable rewards are the +1 Cap Breakers at 100 and 200 challenges, which increase your attribute caps:

What's the fastest way to complete 100 challenges?

Focus on the quickest challenges first to reach your +1 Cap Breaker reward efficiently:

• Learn 2K tutorials: Complete all tutorial challenges (~1 hour for multiple completions)
• Gatorade Training Facility: Do all workout types and activities
• Daily activities: Consistent daily login rewards and Pick 'Em predictions
• Easy difficulty first: 114 Easy challenges vs 186 Medium/Hard/Expert challenges
• Solo-capable: 125 challenges don't require teammates (use "Solo Only" filter)

Realistic timeframe: With dedicated play, most players can reach 100 challenges in 1-2 weeks.

⚠️ Start these daily/weekly activities immediately (they add up over time):

• Join a Crew: Every game contributes crew XP, plus 14 crew-specific challenges
• Daily reward spins: Only 1 per day (can't rush these - start early!)
• Complete Daily Challenges: Available every day, accumulate over weeks
• Gatorade workouts: 4 per week limit (tip: create new characters to bypass this)
• Beat weekly race target time: Available weekly at The Track

What about Crew benefits and rewards?

Joining an active crew is essential for maximizing your challenge progress. Every game you play contributes Crew XP, and crew level-ups give you additional completions. There are 14 crew-specific lifetime challenges plus 2 additional Cap Breakers available through crew rewards (separate from the lifetime challenge rewards).

Tip: Join an active crew with many members as soon as possible. The more active your crew, the faster you'll level up and earn rewards.

Do Lifetime Challenges reset between seasons or builds?

No, Lifetime Challenges persist across seasons and carry over to new MyPlayer builds. Your progress is account-wide, so they continue to build over time.

Which challenges are the quickest to complete?

About 50 challenges can be completed in under 1 hour each. These include tutorial completions, single workout sessions, opening your first pack, winning your first game in various modes, and basic skill demonstrations. Look for challenges marked as "Easy" difficulty and those with low time requirements in the tracker.

How is my progress saved in the tracker?

Your progress (completed challenges and focused challenges) is saved locally on each device using your browser's storage. This means challenges you mark as complete on your phone will not be marked as complete if you open this page on your PC - each device maintains its own separate progress.

Important: Clearing your browser data, cookies, or site data will delete your saved progress. Using incognito/private browsing mode will also not preserve your progress between sessions.

How do I open a pack in Triple Threat Park?

To complete the "Open a pack in Triple Threat Park" challenge, you must open your pack at the Showcase Spot located by the truck with the big screen. Opening packs elsewhere in Triple Threat Park will not count toward this specific challenge completion.

Where are all the HoloHelp locations?

There are 25 total HoloHelp locations throughout NBA 2K26 (with 3 duplicates). The most commonly missed location is inside the NBA Arena, which requires completing the Out of Bounds storyline to unlock access.

Tip: If you're at 21/22 HoloHelp locations, you're most likely missing the NBA Arena HoloHelp. View detailed locations guide with video walkthrough.

Can I complete challenges in offline modes?

125 out of 300 challenges can be completed solo without requiring teammates. These include Street Kings, tutorial completions, training facility activities, your MyPlayer progression through MyCareer, and many City-based challenges. Use the "Solo Only" filter to identify challenges that work best if you prefer playing alone or have limited time for online coordination.
