In honor of his enduring legacy on baseball, the MLB The Show 22 Jackie Robinson Day celebration will bring tons of new content to Diamond Dynasty.
Here's everything we know about the new player program, Topps Now cards, and more coming to MLB The Show 22 for Jackie Robinson Day.
MLB The Show 22 Jackie Robinson Day celebration ready to kickoff
Last year we saw Jackie Robinson take a well-deserved spotlight on the cover of the Deluxe Edition of MLB The Show 21, and even with a different cover this year the celebration isn't stopping.
The MLB The Show 22 Jackie Robinson Day celebration is set land on April 15, 2022, and with it there will be tons of new Diamond Dynasty content.
Last year we had a major program within Team Affinity linked to Jackie Robinson as the 42 Series highlighted some of the modern day greats across the league along with a few Legends cards that dropped as a pre order pack.
With Team Affinity now woven into the Featured Program, it looks like the MLB The Show 22 Jackie Robinson Day celebration will be doing things a bit differently.
According to the in-game Diamond Dynasty content schedule, there are at least three big pieces on the way for Jackie Robinson Day.
The first and potentially most exciting drop will be a new player program, and Jackie Robinson would be the clear option there, but they've yet to confirm who it will be centered on.
Topps Now players will also arrive for the first time this year and likely highlight some of the biggest plays since Opening Day began, but they'll also bring the first Legend Lightning player reveal.
Last year, the Lightning player was usually the top reward in the Monthly Awards program, but it looks like they're dropping a Legend for that series out of the gate.
When will Jackie Robinson Day content hit Diamond Dynasty?
If you're eager to see these new programs and cards arrive, there's good news as we know exactly when everything is set to deploy.
All Jackie Robinson Day content in MLB The Show 22 should deploy for Diamond Dynasty at Noon PT on April 15, 2022.
Ahead of that drop, Sony San Diego is also hosting a "push the button" stream highlighting the content before it goes live.
That stream is set to begin at 11:30am PT, just half an hour before the content goes live in-game, and you can watch it on YouTube, Twitch, or via the video embedded above.
If you link your TheShow.com account to your Twitch account, there should also be Twitch drops enabled to give you some free rewards for watching via that platform.
