The Chicago Bulls have announced that they will retire Derrick Rose's No. 1 jersey on January 24, 2026, in a postgame ceremony at the United Center following a home game against the Boston Celtics. Rose, the youngest NBA MVP in history and a hometown star, will become the fifth player in Bulls history to have his number retired. The team confirmed that no other player will wear the No. 1 jersey again, except for Rose's son, PJ Rose, who is the only individual allowed to wear the number in the future. The Bulls plan to celebrate Rose throughout the 2025-2026 season, including four additional game dates on which collectible figurines will be distributed to fans while supplies last. The announcement has been widely covered by major sports media outlets, highlighting the significance of Rose's contributions to the franchise and his emotional reaction to the honor.
