MLB The Show 26 is keeping the content train rolling, and the latest drop is shaping up to be a solid one for Diamond Dynasty players. Multiplayer Program 2 has officially been revealed, bringing a fresh batch of earnable rewards that should give plenty of players a reason to jump back into competitive modes.
The announcement came directly from the official MLB The Show account, confirming a new lineup of high-value cards that players can unlock just by playing multiplayer modes.

New Diamond Cards Headline Multiplayer Program 2
At the center of this program are five standout cards, each tied to different themes like All-Star performances, postseason moments, and awards recognition.
Here’s what players can expect:
- All-Star Craig Kimbrel
- All-Star Gerrit Cole
- All-Star Eddie Murray
- Postseason José Altuve
- Awards Anthony Santander
These cards are designed to be earned through gameplay, meaning no packs or extra spending is required. This can be a valuable program to grind if you are doing NMS.
It’s a pretty balanced mix, too. You’ve got elite pitching options with Kimbrel and Cole, alongside strong bats like Murray and Altuve. Santander’s awards card rounds things out with another powerful offensive option, giving players flexibility when building their squads.
What This Means for Diamond Dynasty Players
Programs like this are a core part of MLB The Show 26’s live service approach. Instead of locking the best content behind paywalls, the game continues to offer grindable rewards that feel worthwhile.
Multiplayer Program 2 looks like it’s sticking to that formula. Players will likely need to complete objectives tied to ranked, events, or other online modes to progress through the reward path. While the exact requirements weren’t fully detailed in the announcement, the structure should feel familiar to anyone who has played previous programs.
The timing also makes sense. Dropping new rewards keeps the multiplayer scene active and gives players new goals to chase, especially as early-game lineups start to settle.
As always, the real test will be how these cards perform in-game. On paper, though, this looks like a strong update that adds both variety and value.
If you have been looking for a reason to jump back into Diamond Dynasty, this might be it.
