Sorare NBA Season 2 Competition Update
With 2023–24 NBA Tip-Off just around the corner, we’re excited to share an update on Sorare NBA Season 2 gameplay. Get ready for a dynamic season filled with heart-pounding competitions, including special contests designed to keep your strategy fresh.
Read below for details about special competitions, rewards, and general competition structure for the upcoming Sorare NBA season. (And check out our Season 2 card launch guide here.)
Competition details
Core competitions
We believe that the max mint counts position the Sorare NBA community for a better, more sustainable experience. But with this comes new nuances with supply management, especially in the NBA where top players can have an outsized impact on scores.
Additionally, we’re committed to offering up to 40 percent of Pro Cards for rewards. This means that for card scarcities like Super Rare and Unique, we’re going to be prudent to make sure that our supply persists through the season and is minted responsibly. As a result, for Season 2, we’ll be offering core competitions that differ at each scarcity:
⚪ Common: Garage Hoops, Rec League, Limited Tip-Off, Pickup
🟡 Limited: Champion, Contender, Underdog
🔴 Rare: Champion, Contender, Underdog
🔵 Super Rare: Champion, Contender
🟣 Unique: Champion
🌈 Mixed Scarcity: Streetball

These permanent competitions offer a range of challenges for Managers of all experience levels. We heard from existing Managers that Underdog was a favorite from last season, so we’re permanently adding this competition to Limited and Rare. We’re also introducing “Streetball,” a versatile leaderboard that welcomes Pro Cards of any scarcity level.
Game Week rewards
As mentioned, Managers can rest assured that we are committed to maintaining that up to 40 percent of cards are reserved for competition this season. In order to make good on this commitment, we’re also making some adjustments to the cards rewarded across competitions while still delivering quality.
Cash rewards
In addition to these changes, we’re excited to finally offer numerous opportunities for Managers to win cash! Within each scarcity level, cash prizes will be exclusively available on Champion leaderboards. The Champion competition is where the stars come out to play, and the cash rewards for these competitions reflect that.
Special competitions & tournaments
But that’s not all! We’re also adding special competitions throughout the year to keep things fresh and exciting. Anticipate the return of beloved classics such as U23 and No Cap, along with exciting new additions. Plus, we’re developing fun gameplay formats around tentpole NBA moments such as the NBA In-Season Tournament & Christmas Day. Stay tuned for competition details on that closer to Tip-Off week.
We’ll announce these competitions with advance notice to give Managers ample time to prepare and strategize. They will not start before GW 3, but keep your eyes peeled for a calendar of what to expect as we get closer to the start of the season.
More to come!
We’ll be monitoring competition participation — and your feedback! — throughout the season, and will adjust details as needed. This upcoming season brings a host of new features and changes, all aimed at enriching your experience as a Sorare NBA Manager. See you Thursday, Oct. 17, when the marketplace officially opens for Season 2!
