Big news for Sorare NBA Managers! We’ve completely revamped the Common gameplay to deliver a more exciting, user-friendly experience just in time for Sorare 2026.

Starting October 7, you can jump into Common Gameplay and be among the first to try it out and offer your thoughts.

This refreshed mode is designed to be the perfect introduction to Sorare 26: a fun and approachable way for newcomers and casual Managers to get started. Open Common Cards, enjoy the thrill of pack openings, develop your skills, and progress confidently toward Limited competitions by learning the ropes of lineup building and winning Market Credits! 

Because this mode is designed for learning, permanent cash and limited+ prizes aren’t included. Only new Managers can earn limited Essence in common, while current Managers will be able to earn common Essence only. This setup keeps the focus on mastering the fundamentals and building momentum early in your Sorare journey.

Here’s what to expect:

➿ The gameplay loop is straightforward and rewarding: open packs, grow your Common collection, and climb competition leaderboard ranks to earn Common Essence plus more packs.
🏆 You’ll enter your lineups into key NBA competitions like Common Champion, Common Contender, and Daily Pickup.
🎁 There are multiple ways to expand your collection, earn packs, and work towards a Limited Collection:

1. 🧪 Use your Common Essence to exchange for packs
2. 🎁 Claim free daily packs
3. 💎 Spend Gems, our premium currency, to purchase Elite Packs with higher chances to land star player cards
4. 🗑️ Scrap cards you don’t want for Common Essence whenever you like
5. 📅 Take on the daily Scrap Challenge by trading sets of cards that match certain criteria and earn powerful rewards
6. ⭐ New Users can hit collection milestones to win Limited Essence

❗IMPORTANT: Common Collections will reset before the next NBA season kicks off. 

Hot Streaks

Alongside Hot Streaks in our Pro Gamemode, Hotstreaks will also go live for Common competitions! Hit the target, climb milestones, and win rewards, from Common Essence to Market Credits. 

Prize Pools

As you open packs, build your lineup, and climb the leaderboards in competitions like Common Champion, Common Contender, Daily Pickup, you’ll be competing for a share of Common Essence to fuel your collection.

This release marks a fresh chapter for thousands of new Managers discovering Sorare NBA’s excitement. Your input is invaluable as we polish the experience before the official launch.
