Overview

  • The United Center ceremony will take place postgame after the Bulls host the Boston Celtics on Jan. 24, 2026.
  • Rose becomes the fifth Bull with a retired number, joining Jerry Sloan, Bob Love, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
  • The team released a video of Rose learning the news, showing an emotional reaction to the honor.
  • The Bulls will stage four collectible figurine giveaways: Rookie of the Year on Nov. 4 vs. 76ers, “Face Mask” on Dec. 17 vs. Cavaliers, MVP on Feb. 22, 2026 vs. Knicks, and green jersey on Mar. 19, 2026 vs. Cavaliers.
  • A 2008 No. 1 pick and 2010-11 MVP, Rose’s career was reshaped by a 2012 ACL tear, and his No. 1 has gone unworn in Chicago since 2016 after aborted reissue attempts.
