The NBA, National Basketball Players Association (NBPA), and Dapper Labs, creators of the Flow blockchain, unveil a new season for NBA Top Shot, the officially licensed digital collectibles platform that reimagines how fans experience the game.
The 2025-26 season features headline partnerships with top rookies Cooper Flagg, Yang Hansen, and other emerging stars who will debut digital autograph inscriptions and 1-of-1 signature collectibles on NBA Top Shot. Fans can look forward to revamped collectibles with foils, textures, and interactive designs, plus more dynamic pack experiences.
From its inception in 2020, NBA Top Shot has introduced a new era of fandom, allowing NBA fans worldwide to collect, trade, and celebrate the league’s most memorable plays. NBA Top Shot has fostered an active global community, merging the excitement of real-time basketball action with genuine ownership of Top Shot Moments.
This season’s doubling down on rookies was inspired by the market’s clear demand for rookie collectibles. On NBA Top Shot, fewer than 5,000 rookie collectibles from Victor Wembanyama or Cooper Flagg will ever exist.
The NBA, NBPA, and Dapper Labs remain fully committed to ensuring the permanence of NBA digital collectibles to the Top Shot community. By creating a fun and innovative platform for fans to engage with the best plays and players from the NBA, Top Shot is a platform where collectors can showcase their fandom and passion for the greatest Moments from the NBA, past and present. Every dunk, assist, and buzzer-beater is independently retrievable and verifiable — setting a new benchmark for digital sports collectibles.
“NBA Top Shot was built to bring fans closer to the sport they love, ensuring that each digital collectible remains an authentic and lasting piece of basketball culture long term,” says Roham Gharegozlou, CEO of Dapper Labs. “This season we’re taking the next step—delivering autographs and interactive collectibles from the NBA’s next generation of stars while securing the highlights themselves on chain.”
Since launch, NBA Top Shot has attracted a global audience of collectors who own, trade, and celebrate the greatest plays in basketball history. With star partnerships, digital autograph inscriptions, interactive collectibles, and fully on-chain highlights, the 2025–26 season is poised to be an exciting one for Top Shot and basketball fans.
