Here's a complete breakdown of all the WWE 2K26 DLC Packs and Season Ringside Pass announced for the game. This guide will be constantly updated as soon as new information is announced by 2K, including the full WWE 2K26 DLC line-up.

There's a major new feature in WWE 2K26: the Ringside Pass, which is a new system for post-launch content. The Premium version of the Ringside Pass replaces the previous DLC model.

Here's a full explanation of how it works.

WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass

WWE 2K26 introduces an all-new Ringside Pass, offering players additional incentive to play, earning XP across all game modes.

Each Ringside Pass features 120 total rewards across 40 free tiers and 40 premium tiers:

  • Free track (40 Tiers -  60 Rewards)
  • Premium track (40 Tiers - 60 Rewards including 4 DLC Superstars)

As players progress through the Premium Pass, both free and premium tracks will be unlocked at the same time.

The Ringside Pass Premium replaces the previous DLC model, rewarding players with all-new playable characters not available in the base game roster, including current Superstars, Legends, Personas, and some unexpected names.

Each Premium version of the Ringside Pass will include the new DLC characters, with the first one unlocking automatically. The rest can be unlocked within the first 20 tiers by earning RXP just for playing the game. Other characters such as Personas will generally be available from tiers 21-40.

So this year, unlike previous games, you won't get DLC Superstars immediately when each Season is released. You'll need to unlock them by progressing through the Premium Pass. Only the first Superstar unlocks automatically.

Other unlockables include cosmetic and customization items, VC, MyFACTION, and The Island content, and more.

You'll earn RXP by playing matches across most game modes, with wins granting you more RXP, including Play Now, Universe, MyRISE, Showcase, MyGM, MyFACTION, and The Island. Also, completing challenges will earn extra RXP and level up faster. Then you can claim your rewards as you level up through the Pass.

Players who have purchased the premium track will have the ability to purchase tier skips but those are completely optional.

How many Ringside Pass Seasons are there in WWE 2K26?

6 Ringside Pass Seasons are planned to roll out throughout the year, with Ringside Pass Season 1 available at launch.

All Ringside Pass Premium Seasons (1 through 6) make up the full Season Pass, including all DLC Superstars. (Premium Ringside Pass = Season Pass)

The free tier of the Season 1 Ringside Pass will feature the in-game unlockable Superstars and Legends, previously available in the WWE 2K Supercharger.

The Premium tier of each Ringside Pass will feature 4 brand-new DLC Superstars, themed rewards, and limited-time challenges. With 6 seasons, that means at least 24 new Superstars.

Do Ringside Passes Expire?

Ringside Pass Seasons don't expire, so if the next season is live, you can still play through the prior Season to keep unlocking content. 

Of course, only one Pass can be active at a time, so you need to equip an inactive Pass to start racking up Ringside Experience Points (RXP) towards its rewards. 

Is there a Season Pass in WWE 2K26?

Yes, the Seasons 1-6 of the Ringside Pass Premium make up the complete Season Pass, featuring all DLC Superstars.
