Three 2026 Division Series programs are live in MLB The Show 26, with ten free 99 overall cards across Yankees vs. Rays, Braves vs. Dodgers and Padres vs. Brewers. Ryan Vilade, Enrique Hernández and Garrett Mitchell finish the three paths at 25 points each.
You can finish each program with its five moments and four standard missions. The one-point 2026 Postseason collection task is optional, so you do not need to lock in 100 cards to earn any of these three final rewards.
Quick answer: Five moments give 10 points. Add the two team-stat missions for six, the team Parallel XP mission for four and the 2026 Postseason Parallel XP mission for five. That reaches exactly 25 points in each program.
San Diego Studio confirmed the Yankees vs. Rays, Braves vs. Dodgers and Padres vs. Brewers releases on Oct. 8. These are the current 2026 Postseason cards. The Retro Division Series Program has a separate 50-point path and rewards.
Every 99 OVR card and its unlock point
All ten cards are No Sell rewards. Program points belong to the individual matchup path, so reaching 25 in one program does not finish the other two.
| Program | Card | Position | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yankees vs. Rays | Bryan Baker | CP | 5 |
| Yankees vs. Rays | Gerrit Cole | SP | 15 |
| Yankees vs. Rays | Ryan Vilade | RF | 25 |
| Braves vs. Dodgers | Ray Kerr | RP | 5 |
| Braves vs. Dodgers | Didier Fuentes | RP | 10 |
| Braves vs. Dodgers | Michael Harris II | CF | 15 |
| Braves vs. Dodgers | Enrique Hernández | 3B | 25 |
| Padres vs. Brewers | Manny Machado | 3B | 5 |
| Padres vs. Brewers | Michael King | SP | 15 |
| Padres vs. Brewers | Garrett Mitchell | CF | 25 |
The exact 25-point route
Each program uses the same point structure, with different team-stat targets:
| Task block | Points |
|---|---|
| Five moments, two points each | 10 |
| First team-stat mission | 3 |
| Second team-stat mission | 3 |
| 2,026 Parallel XP with either team in the matchup | 4 |
| 2,026 Parallel XP with 2026 Postseason Series players | 5 |
| Total without the collection | 25 |
Parallel XP (PXP) is the player-card progress counted by the two PXP missions. Team eligibility and series eligibility are different conditions. A card can fit both when it belongs to one of that matchup’s teams and is a 2026 Postseason version. Older Postseason cards do not satisfy the mission that specifically asks for the 2026 series.
The four standard missions list these eligible modes: 1 vs. 1 Ranked, Ranked Co-op, Battle Royale, Events, Weekend Classic, Play vs CPU, Mini Seasons, Conquest and Diamond Quest. You can therefore complete the route in listed offline modes without an online-win requirement. Play vs Friend and Casual are not on the listed mission modes.
Finish the moments first to unlock program cards before working on the PXP missions. The Yankees vs. Rays path gives Bryan Baker at five points. The Braves vs. Dodgers moments reach Ray Kerr at five and Didier Fuentes at ten. Padres vs. Brewers gives Manny Machado at five. Put those cards into eligible squads to begin meeting the team and series conditions.
Yankees vs. Rays: Ryan Vilade at 25 points
The Yankees vs. Rays Program starts with Bryan Baker, adds Gerrit Cole at 15 and finishes with Ryan Vilade at 25. Its team-stat missions ask for five strikeouts with Yankees players and seven extra-base hits with Rays players.
The four missions after the moments are:
- Five strikeouts with Yankees players: three points.
- Seven extra-base hits with Rays players: three points.
- 2,026 PXP with Yankees and/or Rays players: four points.
- 2,026 PXP with 2026 Postseason Series players: five points.
Baker is a Rays closing pitcher, so he fits the Rays team PXP and 2026 Postseason conditions. The Yankees strikeout mission still needs Yankees players, and the extra-base-hit mission needs Rays hitters.
The path also has three Ballin’ is a Habit packs at ten points and a Deluxe Choice Pack at 20. The five-point steps keep the card unlocks separate from the pack rewards.
Braves vs. Dodgers: four cards on one path
The Braves vs. Dodgers Program gives Ray Kerr at five points, Didier Fuentes at ten, Michael Harris II at 15 and Enrique Hernández at 25. This is the only one of these three paths with a player reward at the ten-point checkpoint.
Its standard mission targets are:
- Eleven hits with Braves players: three points.
- Ten strikeouts with Dodgers players: three points.
- 2,026 PXP with Braves and/or Dodgers players: four points.
- 2,026 PXP with 2026 Postseason Series players: five points.
Kerr and Fuentes are Braves relievers. They can contribute to the PXP conditions, but the eleven-hit mission needs Braves hitters. Use Dodgers pitchers for the strikeout mission. The Deluxe Choice Pack is at 20 points, before Hernández.
Hernández is the final No Sell card on the four-card path.

No SellNo SellPadres vs. Brewers: Garrett Mitchell at 25 points
The Padres vs. Brewers Program opens with Manny Machado at five points and Michael King at 15, then gives Garrett Mitchell at 25. Its standard missions are:
- Fifteen strikeouts with Padres players: three points.
- Five home runs with Brewers players: three points.
- 2,026 PXP with Padres and/or Brewers players: four points.
- 2,026 PXP with 2026 Postseason Series players: five points.
Machado fits the team and series PXP conditions from the first card checkpoint. His Padres card does not count toward the Brewers home-run mission. King is a Padres starting pitcher and arrives later on the path.
Like Yankees vs. Rays, this program has three Ballin’ is a Habit packs at ten points and a Deluxe Choice Pack at 20. Both packs arrive before the final player reward.
You can skip the Postseason collection task
Each program has an extra one-point task tied to collecting 100 cards from the 2026 Postseason series. It is not part of the exact 25-point route above. Completing the five moments and all four standard missions already reaches the final card.
Do not treat the collection task as a purchase requirement for Vilade, Hernández or Mitchell. If one of those cards is your target, finish its program’s moments and missions first.
Program points and account XP are separate rewards. Each of these paths gives four 1,000-XP rewards and 2,026 XP at the final checkpoint, for 6,026 XP in total. Those XP awards do not replace the 25 program points you need.
Which path should you start?
Start with the matchup whose team missions fit the squad you want to use. Yankees pitchers and Rays hitters cover the first path’s stat targets. Braves hitters and Dodgers pitchers cover the second. Padres pitchers and Brewers hitters cover the third.
For the four-card path, choose Braves vs. Dodgers. For Vilade or Mitchell, choose their matchup program directly. Complete its moments, add the unlocked 2026 Postseason cards to an eligible squad, then finish the four missions for the exact 25-point total.
San Diego Studio says the White Sox vs. Guardians program arrives Tuesday, October 13. Its rewards and route are separate from the three programs covered here.
