How to Earn More Stubs in MLB The Show 26: A Jackie Robinson Day Exclusive Guide
Stubs are a vital in-game currency in *MLB The Show 26*, and many players look for ways to earn more of them—especially during Jackie Robinson Day. This day not only honors a legendary figure but also offers a prime opportunity for players to earn Stubs and other rewards. This article outlines effective strategies to maximize your Stubs earnings during the event.
1. Jackie Robinson Day Events and Missions
The most direct approach is participating in the Jackie Robinson Day event, which offers a wealth of rewards—including high-value packs and exclusive player items that can be sold directly for Stubs. Here is how you can get involved:
- Event Squad Building: To participate in the Jackie Robinson Day event, you need to assemble a team featuring players from the Negro Leagues, the Awards Series, or players with 75+ Speed. Accumulating enough wins in the event earns you the Jackie Robinson Day Deluxe Pack and the 90 OVR James "Biz" Mackey player card.
- Missions and Objectives: The event includes a series of missions, such as hitting 12 home runs or accumulating 4,242 PXP (Player Experience Points) using Rookie, Awards Series, or Negro Leagues Series cards. Completing these missions unlocks significant amounts of Stubs and provides additional rewards.
- Conquest Map – "42" Map: This map features only three strongholds. Completing it grants Stubs, packs, and four key player cards that are essential for finishing the major Jackie Robinson Day Collection.
- Storylines Missions: Complete new Storylines missions to unlock player cards for legends such as Ray Dandridge and Smoky Joe Williams.
By completing these tasks, you can not only boost your program points but also expand your card collection.
2. Efficient Repeatable Methods
In addition to participating in events and missions, there are efficient, repeatable methods to help you quickly earn more Stubs.
- Mini Seasons: Mini Seasons is considered the fastest repeatable way to earn Stubs. Winning a championship earns you vouchers that can be redeemed for high-value packs, which often contain lucrative rewards. By cycling through Mini Seasons quickly and consistently, you can efficiently accumulate Stubs.
- Market Flipping: Market flipping is a very popular way to make money. You can use the official Companion App to "flip" cards—profiting from the price spread between buy and sell orders. Generally, focusing on high-volume Silver and Gold cards is more profitable than waiting for expensive Diamond cards to sell. By monitoring market trends and capitalizing on price fluctuations, you can easily earn Stubs.
- Twitch Drops: Watching "Drops Enabled" streams on Twitch allows you to earn free packs, which can be claimed in-game for various rewards. Sometimes, the cards found in these packs can be sold, further increasing your Stub total.

By employing efficient strategies and tackling repeatable tasks, you can not only acquire exclusive player cards but also earn a significant amount of Stubs to boost your Diamond Dynasty squad.
