ROAD TO THE SHOW
In MLB® The Show™ 26’s long-time fan-favorite mode, embark on a baseball journey as a fresh young prospect who grows to baseball greatness! This year, we're diving even deeper into that story at both ends, and every point in between.
NEW TO ROAD TO THE SHOW
Amateur Experience
Choose your dream school from 19 different options, then take your choice to the top of the College World Series as you strive towards the ultimate goal of stepping onto an MLB® field! MLB® The Show™ 26 gives you more than twice as many team options as last year, and introduces the College World Series and Charles Schwab Field to your journey.
Chapters, Goals, & Achievements
Throughout your baseball journey, you will be prompted with short-term goals. Meeting these goals will boost your player and move you along the road to superstardom. As you advance from the amateur ranks to the minor leagues, then to the Major League roster, these goals will grow and advance with you as you create your journey and own your achievements.
Make Your Mark & Claim Your Hardware!
Here at SDS, we belive excellence should be rewarded. And when your ballplayer achieves this level of excellence, your Road to the Show experience should reflect that. New visuals, scenes, and commentary in MLB® THE SHOW™ '26 reflect the narratives that matter to you - from your introduction in high school, to your first press conferences; from your Rookie of the Year ceremony to your induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
