MLB The Show 26's 2026 World Series Program asks players to choose carefully between missions and Moments on the way to a 99-overall Jacob Misiorowski. There are 111 points available, but the final reward requires only 100. Players considering MLB 26 stubs should separate that decision from program progress: the listed reward track depends on completing objectives, not on a stated Stubs purchase requirement. The key planning constraint is a 20-point Player XP mission that cannot be skipped. Build your route around the required XP mission The program offers 50 points from six missions, 60 from 12 Moments, and one from a collection task. The essential mission requires 2,026 Player XP with 2026 Postseason Series cards and awards 20 points. Everything else adds up to only 91, so even a perfect run through the other objectives falls short without it. Check which eligible cards you have before deciding how much time to spend on the rest of the track. A second XP mission awards 10 points for earning 2,026 Player XP with Rays or Brewers cards. If a card qualifies for both missions, using it can advance both objectives through the same play. The other four missions award five points each: get eight hits with Rays players, record five strikeouts with Rays pitchers, get eight hits with Brewers players, and hit one triple with any player. For an efficient lineup, prioritize eligible team players while working on XP, but keep track of the two hitting totals separately. Choose the objectives that fit your roster Completing every mission gives you 50 points, leaving 10 Moments to reach Misiorowski. Alternatively, finish all 12 Moments for 60 points, complete the required Postseason Series XP mission for 20, and earn the remaining 20 from the four smaller missions. That route skips the team XP mission and the collection task, but it requires the full set of Moments. If the triple is holding you up, you can leave that five-point mission unfinished and still reach 105 points by completing everything else. The Moments revisit performances from the series, including Gasser's Game 3 outing, Cooper Pratt's seven RBIs, Misiorowski's Game 5 appearance, and William Contreras's MVP showing. Each is worth five points, so treat them as interchangeable points when choosing what to finish. The reward track also provides milestones before the final card: Ben Williamson at 10 points, Robert Gasser at 20, Nick Martinez at 30, Pratt at 40, Jackson Chourio at 50, Liam Hicks at 60, Abner Uribe at 70, Chandler Simpson at 80, and Christian Yelich at 90. Additional items appear at 25, 45, and 65 points. Uribe is a useful stopping point to assess if your immediate need is relief pitching rather than a starter. His 99-overall card has a sinker, slider, and four-seam fastball, with 99 ratings for Velocity, Control, Movement, and BB/9. Misiorowski arrives at 100 points as a 99-overall starter, with a listed true rating of 112.57. If you plan to buy MLB The Show 26 Stubs, first check your eligible Postseason Series cards and decide which remaining objectives you can complete; spending is not a substitute for the required program points. |
