If you’re aiming to snag the latest Chase Pack 8 in MLB The Show 26, you’re in luck. This pack is part of the Cityscapes update (released May 1, 2026) and features some exciting Diamond-tier players, including 94 OVR Aroldis Chapman. Here’s how to get it, whether you want to spend Stubs or grind for free rewards.

1. Buy 50-Pack Bundles

The most straightforward way to get Chase Pack 8 is by purchasing a 50-Pack Bundle from the Show Shop. Each bundle guarantees one Chase Pack 8, making it the easiest method if you don’t want to rely on luck.

Tip: Bundles are ideal if you’re chasing specific players like Chapman or Craig Biggio.
2. Open Standard The Show Packs

Chase Pack 8 can also appear randomly in regular The Show Packs. The pack contains:

Guaranteed Diamond player card
Chance to pull featured Chapman (94 OVR)
Chance for other top-tier cards like Craig Biggio (94 OVR) or Cody Bellinger (93 OVR)

Keep in mind: while every pack guarantees a Diamond, the odds of hitting the featured player are lower. Patience and multiple packs increase your chances.

3. Buy from the Community Marketplace

If you want the featured player directly, the Community Marketplace is your fastest option. You can buy Chapman, Biggio, or other high-tier players without gambling on packs.

Tip: Check market trends and prices before buying—sometimes waiting a day or two can save you Stubs.
4. Free or Alternative Methods

Not everyone wants to spend Stubs. You can still build your Chase Pack collection using in-game programs and events:

Cityscapes Exchange: Trade in 82 OVR or higher players to earn the 91 OVR Robin Yount, who can help boost your team.
April Showcase Event: Participate to earn April Spotlight Packs and additional Diamond players.
Cityscapes Conquest Map: Complete it for hidden rewards, including 6 The Show Packs and 1 Ballin’ is a Habit Pack, which may contain Chase Pack 8 or high-tier players.
5. Tips for Maximizing Your Pulls
Focus on packs that guarantee Diamonds—you’ll always get a high-value card.
Keep an eye on live events and program updates—MLB The Show 26 often rotates rewards that can complement your Chase Pack grind.
Track community marketplaces and program exchanges—sometimes you can get the same player for less than packs cost.
