The Cityscapes Diamond Quest in MLB The Show 26 is a unique board-game-style mode where the goal is to unlock high-value Cityscapes Series cards, packs, and stubs. With the right strategy, you can secure Epic and Rare player rewards, plus valuable currency, while completing the larger Cityscapes Collection.
Cityscapes Diamond Quest Rewards
Rewards in the Diamond Quest are split into guaranteed completion rewards and randomized Rare/Epic pools, which depend on how well you navigate the board.
Epic Player Rewards

• Michael Young (Epic)
• Dave Parker (Epic)

Rare Rewards

• Cityscapes Rare Pack (~4,500 Stubs value)

Potential Earnings

• Completing a full run can net ~29,720 Stubs, plus packs and Epic players.

Strategic Tips for Completion
1. Peanut Farming
Collect as many peanuts as possible from board squares and mini-challenges. Target 3,000 peanuts for maximum reward potential.
2. The Coach’s Cart
Use your peanuts to purchase the two gold perks—commonly called the "Flush" perk. This significantly boosts your odds of pulling Epic and Rare rewards.
3. Stadium Games

• Every stadium game must be completed to finish the quest and claim rewards.
• Even Rookie difficulty counts, so pick a level you can win consistently.

4. Risk vs. Reward

• Defeating the Zone Sweeper early on Legendary difficulty removes it from the board and gives high-tier perks.
• This makes the rest of your run safer and increases your chances for Epic rewards.

Broader Cityscapes Rewards
Diamond Quest is just one piece of the Cityscapes program. Pair it with Conquest Maps and Cityscapes Programs to collect the full series.

The current Double XP Weekend (ending May 5, 2026, at 12:00 PM PT) is the ideal time to grind these missions for maximum program progress. Stack Diamond Quest runs with Conquest challenges to finish collections faster.
