Now Spurs fans have something else beyond the team’s return to the playoffs to get excited about.

San Antonio’s beloved NBA team released four Fiesta medals for the 2026 celebration: The Spurs medal, the Coyote medal, the San Antonio Futbol Club (SAFC) medal and the Spurs Fan medal, according to franchise officials.

Proceeds from each medal purchase will fund Spurs Give, Spurs Sports and Entertainment’s (SSE) official nonprofit organization, which supports programming such as the Spurs Youth Basketball League and Play SA.

“Fiesta medals represent more than just a celebration,” Julie McCarty, SSE’s associate vice president of community investments, said in a statement. “They’re a chance for fans to directly support Spurs Give’s mission of creating safe and accessible places for young people to play, learn and grow.”

Three of the medals —  excluding the Spurs Fan medal — may only be purchased at Spurs home games and Fiesta events, according to Spurs officials. This medal, however, is available online or at the Spurs Fan shop. All medals cost $15 each, and they’re available until supplies last — which you know won’t be long.

The exclusive medals are decorated with Fiesta and San Antonio motifs, but differ in their styles.

The 2026 Spurs medal strays from traditionally bright Fiesta colors. The silver-and-black medallion encircles the Spurs logo, overlaying the San Antonio skyline. “Fiesta 2026” is engraved on the medal, and a classic Fiesta ribbon hangs above it.

The SAFC medal celebrates its namesake soccer team, and the header above the medal makes that clear. Two goalie gloves hold a soccer ball, with the club crest stamped in the middle. The details represent “movement and energy,” according to the Spurs though we’re not entirely sure what that means.

The Coyote medal displays the smiling face of the team’s mascot in a Dia de los Muertos-inspired design. The Coyote is surrounded by colorful flowers and wears sombrero. Little charms dangle at the ends.

The Spurs Fan medal echoes the other designs, offering colorful floral patterns surrounding a basketball.
