When does NBA 2K23 Season 3 begin?

We're currently in the second season of the game but NBA 2K23 Season 3 is quickly approaching.

We're going to take a look at the release date of the season and some potential themes that we could see.

We'll also go over what's currently going on in NBA 2K23.

When does NBA 2K23 Season 3 begin?

Season 2 has been filled with several cards and events for players to take part in and NBA 2K23 Season 3 will likely be the same.

The good news is we can use the start of Season 2 to gauge when the next season will begin by adding six weeks.

What to expect from Season 3 of NBA 2K23

Considering it'll release around the time of Christmas, we're expecting some serious holiday imagery around the NBA 2K23 Season 3 GOAT Boat and The City.

Last year, The City was full of holiday decorations and the courts received a redesign, even the rewards were themed like Christmas presents.

HOLIDAY THEMES: Perhaps Christmas trees will make their return again this year.

This is the first year for the GOAT Boat so we'd imagine that it'll receive a redesign as well. Affiliations in The City will likely be decked out with holiday decorations too.

In MyTEAM, the Tis' The Season packs hit the Pack Market quickly. Expect something similar when NBA 2K23 Season 3 releases.

What to do before the end of Season 2?

There is a lot of time between now and the start of NBA 2K23 Season 3 so, let's take a look at a few of the things you can do before then.
