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 at 3 PM ET. For the league one, that must be redeemed before the start of Game 1 of the 2026 World Series.

Collection

On October 13, Sony released the first Postseason Collection reward in MLB The Show 26. It was a 99 OVR Postseason Munetaka Murakami.

Munetaka Murakami

Three days later, the NLCS MVP received a 99 OVR.

Jake Bauers

To get the Murakami, Diamond Dynasty players must collect 27 of the 2026 Postseason Series cards released. As of this writing, all cards from that series, aside from the Murakami, are located in the programs listed above.

For Bauers, 32 2026 Postseason cards are required.

On October 20, 99 OVR Postseason Freddy Peralta became the third card in this collection. Diamond Dynasty players need 38 to unlock Peralta.
