How to get & redeem Postseason Vouchers
Last year, Sony added Postseason Vouchers to Diamond Dynasty. Those allowed MLB The Show players to predict the league & team that would win the World Series. Guess right, and earn packs. Guess wrong, and you’d get something but not what the winners could receive.
That is back for MLB The Show 26. Individuals can go into the Pack Store and grab two packs: one to predict the winning team & the other for the winning league.
To be eligible for both, one must open the team pack and choose a team before October 2 and 3 PM ET. For the league one, that must be redeemed before the start of Game 1 of the 2026 World Series.
