NBA 2K27 Reveals Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark as Cover Stars

The wait is finally over for basketball fans. NBA 2K27 has officially revealed its three cover athletes, and the lineup is historic. Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark, and Derrick Rose will represent the game across its various editions. All three players share a common history as former number one overall draft picks and Rookie of the Year winners.

For Spurs fans, this is a long time coming. Victor Wembanyama makes history as the first San Antonio Spurs player to ever grace an NBA 2K cover. After an incredible season where he led his team to the NBA Finals and earned Defensive Player of the Year honors, Wembanyama steps onto the Standard Edition cover to celebrate his status as one of the game's brightest young stars.

Caitlin Clark makes a massive splash as the first WNBA player to headline a global premium cover for the series, representing the Deluxe Edition. Meanwhile, Chicago Bulls legend Derrick Rose returns to the cover spotlight for the Ultra Edition, celebrating a career defined by his explosive talent and legendary MVP run.

Fans eager for more can watch for the official gameplay trailer arriving on July 28, 2026. Pre orders are currently open across major platforms, with early access for the Deluxe Edition beginning on August 28, 2026. The full worldwide launch follows shortly after on September 4, 2026.
