Official MLB The Show 26 Cover Athlete Update Sends Fans Into Frenzy

by

The reveal of who will be on the cover of MLB The Show 26 is coming soon, but a recent, puzzling post from the game’s official account has left fans confused and speculating. Many are eager to understand what the post means and are hoping for more clarity.

The official MLB The Show account on X (formerly Twitter) announced there won’t be a new cover athlete for MLB The Show 26. Many believe this is a marketing tactic, and it seems to be working – fans are already trying to figure out what the announcement really means. Is it a simple word puzzle, or is there a deeper meaning?

MLB The Show Fans Confused By No New Cover Athlete

The specific language used in the announcement caught people’s attention, especially the phrase “no new” cover athlete. This led to speculation that the game might feature a returning athlete from previous covers. One user on X even suggested, “Could we see a dual cover with Judge and Ohtani?”

Some fans believe the new imagery hints at multiple players being featured, much like the cover of MLB The Show 25, or even a whole team. The game’s colors now matching the Detroit Tigers has led to speculation that Tarik Skubal might be on the cover, alongside other popular guesses like Cal Raleigh of the Mariners and Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Cubs.

Okay, so if all three players ended up on the cover, it wouldn’t really be a new cover athlete, would it? There’d be multiple! I knew this whole thing felt a little strange, but honestly, it’s getting people talking, so it seems to be working.

Is A Whole Team On The Cover Of MLB The Show 26?

People are speculating about who will be featured next. Some thought it might be a collection of new individual athletes, while others guessed it would be a team. The Los Angeles Dodgers were a popular pick, given their recent World Series wins, but featuring a single team could leave fans of other teams feeling excluded.

Man, I’m really hoping MLB The Show 26 does something awesome with the cover athletes – like letting you choose based on your favorite team! It’s a long shot, but I can dream, right?

It looks like plans for the next game are underway. Cover athlete announcements usually happen around late January, so we should hear official news soon. Until then, we’re left wondering what it means that MLB The Show 26 might not have a new cover athlete this year.
