To celebrate the upcoming 2021 NBA Finals, PlayStation is proud to partner with the NBA to find the top scorers on the digital court in an NBA 2K21 online fan tournament tipping off later this week.
The NBA 2K21 PlayStation Tournaments: NBA Finals will virtually mirror the teams facing each other in the 2021 NBA Finals, putting fans in the shoes of Phoenix Suns or Milwaukee Bucks in NBA 2K21. There will be two separate tournaments for PS4 and PS5 players, giving our fans across both platforms the opportunity to take part and compete for prizes including a PlayStation 5 console, PS Store Credit, and other cash prizes.
Open qualifiers
Starting now, PS4 and PS5 players based in the United States and Europe* can sign up for the NBA 2K21 PlayStation Tournaments: NBA Finals Qualifiers taking place on July 9. Find PS4 sign ups here, and PS5 sign ups here.
The winner of each free, single-elimination qualifier bracket will go head-to-head in the finals.
