Caitlin Clark and Tyrese Haliburton headline NBA 2K27 Season 2, but their appearance in its artwork is not a player-unlock instruction. Clark's featured role and the Caitlin Clark Tee are different parts of the update: one promotes the season, while the other is an earnable clothing item. Players reviewing NBA 2K27 MT for MyTEAM roster planning should treat the tee as a seasonal progression goal.

What does the Clark and Haliburton pairing mean

The two athletes share the Season 2 spotlight, with Clark also serving as the NBA 2K27 Deluxe Edition cover athlete. The season launched on Friday, October 16, 2026, following its October 14 announcement. Those dates identify the broader seasonal update, not a separate Clark release.

Their promotional appearance does not establish a requirement to unlock either athlete. For Clark-related rewards, the useful detail is the named item on the reward track, not who appears on the season artwork.

How do you earn the Caitlin Clark Tee

The Caitlin Clark Tee is the free MyCAREER reward at Season Level 23. A premium pass is not required for that item. Reaching its reward level earns clothing, not a Clark player card or a playable version of her.

Season XP comes from play in The City, MyCAREER, and MyTEAM. Check the MyCAREER reward listing when tracking the tee, even when earning progression through another supported mode. The launch details identify these modes as routes toward seasonal levels.

Does the Level 23 route apply after Season 2

The Level 23 listing belongs to Season 2 and should not be treated as a permanent unlock route. Seasonal progress and rewards reset at the end of each season. That makes the active season an essential check before investing time toward this particular reward.

Open the Season 2 MyCAREER reward track and locate the Caitlin Clark Tee at Level 23 before choosing your next progression target. When planning MyTEAM activity involving 2K MT, keep the tee's listed seasonal level requirement in mind: the action that advances this clothing goal is earning Season XP.
