NBA 2K22’s MyTeam Unlimited tournament saw its first gameday on October 16th, with a range of US-based players participating in the qualifiers to make their way to the Finals. The official 2K account has not yet released details about subsequent qualifiers and tournament schedule, and is expected to announce the same in the coming time.

A total of 4 gamedays are scheduled to take place with the pre-qualifiers happening according to the following schedule:

  • Pre-Qualifying Period for First Game Day: Play between September 10, 2021, until October 16.
  • Pre-Qualifying Period for Second GameDay: Play between October 22, 2021, until November 27, 2021.

In order to qualify for the pre-qualifiers, gamers simply need to reach the Emerald tier in the MyTeam mode when the pre-qualifiers are taking place. Hence, all gamers who reach the Emerald tier will qualify for the pre-qualifiers provided that they do so between the days mentioned above.

Once the pre-qualifiers are done, a knockout gameday tournament will then be followed by matches between the winners of the gamedays, with the official rules for the same having been released already.

The tournament is not open to all gamers, with only specific countries coming under the umbrella. For more information with respect to the official rules, the following link can be seen.

The tournament is taking place for both next-generation and current-gen consoles, with one taking place for all PS4 and Xbox One users while another for all PS5 and Xbox X/S users.

The prize money for the winner has been announced to be $200k, with the runner up also going home with a handsome $50k, bringing the overall prize pool to a whopping half a million across consoles.

However, quite a few gamers have expressed confusion in recent days as the NBA 2K22 tournament is still open but there appears to be no way to participate.
