2K Sets Online Shutdown Date for NBA 2K27

2K confirmed that NBA 2K27, which launched for PlayStation 5 on Sept. 4, 2026, will have its online services shut down on Dec. 31, 2028.

The scheduled closure gives players just over two years to access multiplayer features. 2K’s notice states the company reserves the right to modify or discontinue online features at any time in accordance with its terms of service.

The shutdown will affect online components highlighted in the game’s overview, including MyCAREER, MyTEAM and MyNBA. The publisher’s announcement sets the date when online matchmaking, live events and other networked services will no longer be available for the PS5 version.

NBA 2K27 holds a Metacritic score of 77 out of 100 for its PS5 release based on 21 critic reviews. The game’s product description includes the tagline: “The hustle doesn’t stop and the run never ends in NBA 2K27. Chase greatness around the clock in MyCAREER, MyTEAM, and MyNBA.”

Players considering a purchase after release, including those pursuing trophies tied to online play, should factor the scheduled end-of-service date into their plans. 2K has not provided a timeline for which specific online features will be taken offline first or whether any in-game content or economies will be archived or migrated. The publisher’s terms of service remain the governing document for any future changes to online functionality.
