Getting your squad together in NBA 2K26 can take your game from solo practice to shared courtside fun. If you’ve been wondering how to invite friends to MyCourt, you’re in the right place. This guide walks you through the steps in a clear, engaging, and human-sounding way. Read on to learn how to open MyCourt, invite your friends fast, tweak settings, and enjoy private games—or just hang out and shoot hoops.
First things first: you need to get into MyCourt. It’s not hard, but if you’re new, here’s how to do it smoothly:
- Start by launching NBA 2K26 and entering your MyCareer mode.
- Once loaded up, look for the massive building marked “MyCourt.”
- Walk inside—or hop on an elevator if that’s how your layout works.
- Wait for the loading screen to finish, and you’re in your own private court sanctuary.
How to Invite Friends
Now you’re on the court—but how do you bring in friends? Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough that makes it simple:
- Press LB + RB on Xbox, or L1 + R1 on PlayStation, to open the invite interface.
- Your friends list should appear. If your friend isn’t showing, try reconnecting or refreshing.
- Select the friend you want to invite.
- Choose “Invite to MyCourt.”
- Your friend will receive a pop-up invitation.
- Once they accept, they’ll teleport into your court—ready for action.
It’s that easy. You’re now set for casual pickup games, practice drills, or just chatting while shooting hoops.
Inviting AI Players
Want some company when your friends are busy? You can invite AI players too:
- Use the same LB + RB (or L1 + R1) shortcut.
- There should be an option labeled “Invite AI Players.”
- Choose how many CPU teammates you’d like to join.
- They’ll appear right on the court, ready to run plays or scrimmage drills with you.
This works great when you’re practicing, warming up, or waiting for friends.
Customizing Your MyCourt Sessions
Inviting friends isn’t just about sending invites—you can also tweak your MyCourt environment. Here’s how to make it just right:
- Game type and mode
Decide whether you want a casual scrimmage, a competitive game, or just a chill shootaround. - Rules and settings
You may be able to adjust time limits, fatigue levels, or team uniforms—check your menu for toggles. - Camera and presentation
Want tournament-style commentary? Or maybe a clear, broadcast-like view? Explore camera options if available. - Voice chat and mics
Make sure your headset is enabled. A quick test chat ensures you can coordinate plays or trash-talk, whichever you prefer.
These tweaks help set the tone—be it serious training or casual fun.
Why Inviting Friends to MyCourt Matters
- Build team chemistry
Practicing with your real friends makes court coordination feel real—just like in a MyTeam lineup or Online Park. - Save time and effort
Instead of juggling lobbies or looking for pickup invites, bring everyone to you in one smooth move. - Safe, private space
MyCourt is controlled by you. Forget randoms joining uninvited—only your selected friends get in. - Fun and flexibility
Want to try new drills, run moves, or design a custom play? Your friends are right there to follow through.
Troubleshooting Tips
Sometimes invites hit roadblocks. Here’s what to check when things don’t go smoothly:
- Connection issues
Make sure your online status is active and both you and your friend have stable internet. - Friend list glitches
If you don’t see them, restart the game or resend the invite. Small refreshes work wonders. - Platform limits
Depending on your system (PS, Xbox, PC), some invites may hit limitations. Double-check the platform rules. - Game updates
Occasionally, patches change how invites work. You might need to glance at patch notes or menus to find the invite option again.
A quick restart or restart of the invite flow often clears most issues.
