4 Great Apps and Games for the NBA Season

Even when it’s not game time, you can enjoy some hoops with NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition.

The game has a wide variety of modes to enjoy. In the full-featured MyCAREER, you can start as a young rookie and rise to the status of NBA legend. You can pick your position and favorite NBA team to enjoy.

In The Association, you’ll become the GM and head coach of your favorite team to build a squad of your dreams. You’ll then manage the roster by making trades, signing free agents, and more.

New to this year’s game is NBA Eras. You’ll put yourself in the shoes of a GM and experience the evolution of basketball in real time.

That’s far from all you can envy. You can try out the multiplayer mode against other players or even just a quick match on the hardwood or blacktop with 5v5, 3v3, or 1v1 matchups with real NBA players.

You’ll need an Apple Arcade subscription to play. That’s $6.99 per month. You can try the service out with a one-month trial that also offers access to more than 200 other games.
