NBA 2K26 2KTV Episode 22 Features Zach 2K, VC Rewards for March 7

Season 5 of NBA 2K26 kicked off with a 2KTV episode that brought content creator Zach 2K into the studio alongside a fan surprise, three newly spotlighted mini-games, and the season's first Top Plays voting segment. The episode, identified as Season 12 Episode 22 of 2KTV, aired March 7, 2026.

Zach 2K's segment centered on his deliberately chaotic approach to content creation. He walked through his process for building the "worst possible" characters to fuel entertaining challenge videos, and offered a straightforward message for newer creators: focus on having fun rather than just competitive skill. It's a philosophy that runs counter to the grind-for-ratings mentality that dominates a lot of 2K content, and hearing it laid out by someone with Zach 2K's following gives it some weight.

The episode also put a spotlight on three mini-games available in NBA 2K26: Horse, Knockout, and Rebound Domination. A fan surprise segment featured a young fan named Dreas, who got to meet the hosts and play a game in what the episode framed as a heartwarming moment. Rounding out the episode was the first Top Plays voting segment of Season 5, giving the community its first chance to weigh in on the best plays of the new season.

As with every 2KTV episode, the real prize for many players is the in-game VC earned by submitting the correct trivia answers. Here are all ten answers for Episode 22:

"Which of the following is not a MyPLAYER Build Template?" is answered with Street Legend. For the baseline driving prompt asking you to hold the right stick away from the basket, the answer is Reverse Layup. The venue that always offers 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5 gameplay options is Proving Grounds. The shot clock in The Rec runs 24 Seconds. When asked which of the following is not a Mini-Game in NBA 2K26, the answer is again Proving Grounds. MyTEAM now features College players and daily challenges. You can watch two friends play 1v1 at your MyCOURT, so the answer is True. The Level 40 MyCAREER reward in Season 5 is the Cap Breaker. For the Top Plays vote, any selection counts. And the final question, noting that Trae Young recently played his first game with a new team, answers with the Wizards.

Submitting these answers in-game is the straightforward path to collecting the VC rewards tied to the episode. The Cap Breaker as the Season 5 Level 40 MyCAREER reward is worth keeping in mind as a progression target alongside the weekly VC grind that 2KTV makes available every episode.
