NBA 2K27 is available in early access with the full launch coming soon, and there are a bunch of badges to utilize to excel across different modes. If you’re playing the MyTEAM mode, all cards will have specific badges on them. When it comes to MyPLAYER instead, you can fully customize your builds with these badges.

However, every badge has specific requirements related to certain attributes. Some badges also have a maximum/minimum height threshold applicable for your player build.

Complete list of NBA 2K27 badge requirements

I have divided the badges into four broad categories, and clubbed defensive ones together for your better understanding.
