MLB The Show 26 Monster Smash Event: How to Get Both Rewind Packs

The Monster Smash Event in MLB The Show 26 offers two Event Rewind Choice Packs, a Deluxe Choice Pack, and a Premier Choice Pack. If you want both Rewind Packs without grinding every mission, you can reach the 75-point milestone by combining the Event’s hitting, pitching, win, and Spooky Series PXP objectives.

The quickest route to both Rewind Packs is to earn 65 points from six non-PXP missions, then complete the 2,026 PXP mission with Spooky Series players for another 10 points. This lets you skip the 15,000 PXP mission and still claim both Rewind Packs.

Monster Smash Event Rewards and Point Requirements

The Monster Smash Event Program has five reward milestones. The second Event Rewind Choice Pack unlocks at 75 points, so completing the entire program is unnecessary if those two packs are your main goal.

The two Rewind Packs are the key milestones for players looking to expand their collection. The Deluxe Choice Pack is an additional reward at 50 points, while the Premier Choice Pack requires all 100 program points.

All Eight Monster Smash Event Missions

Every mission below requires progress in the Monster Smash Event. Playing another mode will not count toward these Event-specific objectives.

Pay attention to the difference between the two hitting missions. You need 15 extra-base hits for one objective and 30 total hits for another. A single hit can count toward both when it meets the extra-base-hit requirement, helping you progress through the missions together. Managing your lineup and resources efficiently, including your MLB The Show 26 Stubs, can also help you build a team suited to completing these objectives.

The two PXP objectives are also separate. The 2,026 PXP mission specifically requires Spooky Series players, while the 15,000 PXP mission accepts any players. Both must be completed in Monster Smash.

How to Reach 75 Points Without the 15,000 PXP Grind

You can earn both Rewind Packs by completing seven missions and leaving the final 15,000 PXP objective unfinished.

1. Complete the Six Non-PXP Missions

The six missions that do not require PXP provide 65 points in total:

Pitch 3 innings: 5 points

Get 15 extra-base hits: 10 points

Get 30 hits: 10 points

Score 20 runs: 10 points

Hit 15 home runs: 15 points

Win 5 games: 15 points

Together, these objectives give you 65 points. You still need 10 more points to reach the second Rewind Pack milestone.

2. Use Spooky Series Players to Earn 2,026 PXP

Complete the Spooky Series mission to earn the remaining 10 points. Once you have accumulated 2,026 PXP with eligible Spooky Series players in Monster Smash, your total reaches 75 points.

This is the most direct route if you want the two Rewind Packs without spending extra time on the 15,000 PXP objective. Use eligible players while working through the other Event missions so you can make progress toward multiple targets during the same games.

3. Combine Your Hitting Objectives

Rather than focusing on one hitting counter at a time, build a lineup that can help you complete the hits, extra-base hits, runs, and home runs missions together.

Extra-base hits and home runs can contribute to several of these objectives at once. Keep an eye on each counter after games, because reaching 15 home runs does not automatically mean you have completed the 30-hit or 20-run requirements.

4. Track Wins and Innings Separately

The five-win mission is worth 15 points, while pitching three innings provides another 5. These objectives are relatively straightforward, but they still need to be completed in Monster Smash.

Check your mission progress regularly. If you have reached 65 points but have not finished the Spooky Series PXP target, focus on that objective rather than grinding the 15,000 PXP mission unnecessarily.

Is the 15,000 PXP Mission Worth Completing?

The 15,000 PXP mission awards 25 points, making it the largest single mission in the program. However, it is not necessary if your only goal is to collect both Event Rewind Choice Packs.

If you want the Premier Choice Pack at 100 points, you will need to finish the remaining mission requirements. Otherwise, reaching 75 points is a practical stopping point that saves time while securing both Rewind rewards.

Players also working through the separate MLB The Show 26 Spooky Program should keep its objectives separate from Monster Smash. Progress toward rewards in another program does not replace the Event-specific requirements listed above.

When Does the Monster Smash Event End?

The Monster Smash Event is scheduled to end on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

Finish the missions you need before the deadline. If you are targeting only the two Rewind Packs, prioritize the 75-point route instead of assuming you must complete every objective.

Can I skip the 15,000 PXP mission?

Yes. Completing the six non-PXP missions earns 65 points. Adding the 10-point Spooky Series PXP mission brings your total to 75.

Can I complete the missions in other game modes?

Final Thoughts

The Monster Smash Event does not require a full 100-point grind if you are mainly interested in both Rewind Packs. Complete the six non-PXP missions, earn 2,026 PXP with Spooky Series players, and stop at 75 points if the Premier Choice Pack is not a priority.

Before leaving the Event, double-check your reward track and claim the milestones you have unlocked.
