# 🆕 What's New

Many news for the 2025/26 Dunkest season, here the main ones:

### Single Season – Regular Season + Playoffs

Starting this season, the Dunkest championship becomes a single competition, running from the first Matchday of the Regular Season to the last of the Playoffs. At the start of the Play-In and Playoffs you won’t start from zero: your team’s budget will be the one you’ve built up during the Regular Season, players’ capital gains will be maintained, and there will also be Matchday prizes during the Playoffs! A long journey, but a great reward for the winner… you’ll find it below!

### Prize Pool

This year we’re making history, with the biggest prize pool in Dunkest’s more than 10-year history. Alongside the well-established partnership with Airdom and generous Amazon gift cards, there’s the super prize for the winner of the overall ranking: a Dunkest Trip for one person for the 2026/27 season!

### Dunkest Cup

Another huge new feature this season: starting from Matchday 10, the top 50,000 teams in the overall ranking will take part in the Dunkest Cup. A new game mode, played with the same teams already created and running parallel to the season, featuring a group phase and a knockout phase. All matches will be Head-to-Head, guaranteeing the thrill of uncertainty right up to the last game of each Matchday!\
There’s also a great prize pool for the teams that reach the Final 4 of the Dunkest Cup!
