Seasonal Favorite Team Lock (Season 2025-26 and Beyond)
Starting December 31, 2025, favorite team selections on NBA Top Shot are locked for the entire season as part of the Seasonal Favorite Team Leaderboards introduced in Season 2025-26.
Collectors get one team and one leaderboard per season. Once your favorite team is locked in at the seasonal snapshot, you can't change it until the season ends.
Why Are Favorite Teams Locked?
Favorite teams are locked because they determine which Seasonal Favorite Team Leaderboard you compete on. Each leaderboard is exclusive to collectors who selected that team as their favorite and kept it locked for the full season. Changing your favorite team during the season would disqualify you from leaderboard rewards.
What Are Seasonal Favorite Team Leaderboards?
Seasonal Favorite Team Leaderboards are competitive boards where collectors earn rewards based on their collection of Moments from the current NBA season. Only Moments from the 2025-26 season count toward your leaderboard score.
What Rewards Can You Earn from Seasonal Favorite Team Leaderboards?
Collectors on these leaderboards can earn packs containing guaranteed Rare or Legendary Moments. Rewards are distributed through airdrops at least 3 times throughout the season.
Here's how the reward tiers work:
- Top 5 collectors on each Seasonal Favorite Team Leaderboard at the time of the snapshot are guaranteed a Rare or Legendary Moment.
- 5 additional collectors on each board are eligible for weighted airdrops featuring more Rare or Legendary Moments from that team.
