Frequently Asked Questions
How do programs work in MLB The Show 26?
Programs feature missions and tasks that reward XP. As you accumulate XP, you unlock rewards along a progression path. Each program has unique tasks like getting strikeouts, home runs, or completing specific game modes. Rewards include player cards, packs, stubs, and other valuable items.
What are the best programs to complete first?
Start with the current progression programs, such as the 7th Inning XP Path and Multiplayer 6 Program as they progress naturally through gameplay. Team Affinity programs for your favorite MLB team are also great for building a themed squad. Use our team builder to plan your lineup, then focus on programs with high-value player card rewards that fit your team needs.
Do programs expire?
Some programs are time-limited and expire after a set period, while others remain available year-round. Limited-time programs show an expiration timer. Make sure to complete time-sensitive programs before they expire to claim exclusive rewards. Check our active programs section for current expiration dates.
Can I complete multiple programs at once?
Yes! Program progress tracks independently, so you can work on multiple programs simultaneously. Many missions overlap, meaning one game can contribute to several programs. Use our Diamond Dynasty team builder to create lineups that efficiently complete multiple program requirements at once. Check our player database to discover cards that fit multiple program criteria, and use the player comparison tool to optimize your selections.
