The MLB The Show 26 Egg Hunt program is one of the more rewarding seasonal events, letting you earn high-value cards like 90 OVR Jackson Merrill and fun items like the Deluxe Candy Basket Pack. But if you want to complete it quickly, you need a smart plan. Here’s how to collect all 7 eggs in the fastest way possible, while also making the most of your time on the field.



Egg Locations & Requirements



Each egg in the program requires a specific task or mode to complete:



Orange Egg: Complete all 4 Egg Hunt Moments (Moments Menu)

Blue Egg: Capture every territory on the Egg Conquest Map (Conquest)

Yellow Egg: Capture all 3 Strongholds on the Egg Map (Conquest)

Pink Egg: Complete the Diamond Quest (Epic Reward)

Purple Egg: Complete the Diamond Quest (Epic Reward)

Red Egg: Get 3 stolen bases (Any Multiplayer)

Green Egg: Get 10 doubles (Any Multiplayer)



Knowing which eggs are tied to which mode helps you prioritize your gameplay and stack your lineup efficiently.



Fastest Completion Strategy

1. Start with Moments



Finish all 4 featured Egg Hunt Moments first. This secures the Orange Egg immediately and gives you early program stars. Completing Moments first also helps you unlock other missions faster.



2. Maximize Conquest Missions



Before entering the Egg Conquest Map, load your team with mission-specific players. This allows you to complete multiple Mystery Missions at the same time:



Troy Tulowitzki: Hit 1 XBH (Extra Base Hit)

Kerry Wood: Win a game pitching

A.J. Puk: Pitch exactly 1 inning

Clay Holmes (Gold): Win a game in your bullpen

Arenado, Gorman, Yepez, Carlson: Hit an XBH with each to finish "Back-to-Back" missions



Completing the Conquest map with these players ensures you capture the Blue and Yellow Eggs efficiently.



3. Diamond Quest Focus



Use any player named Kyle (like Kyle Schwarber) to hit a home run in Diamond Quest. This completes the “Kyle Test” mission, helping you grab Pink or Purple Eggs without extra grind.



4. Mini Seasons Cleanup



Earn 500 PXP with players wearing jerseys #7 or #28 (like Mickey Mantle, Nolan Arenado, or Buster Posey) to finish small side missions while completing your main objectives.



5. Rush Red & Green Eggs Online



The Red and Green Eggs require stolen bases and doubles. Playing short Events rather than full Ranked games makes it faster to reach these goals. Focus on speed over difficulty for these eggs.



Extra Tips from the Community



Some players have noticed quirks in the program menus:



Egg selection bug: “Select the egg in the program collection, press down to move the cursor and select the egg. You're welcome.”

Program visibility: “The program isn’t showing up at all for me but I am collecting eggs still—it’s weird.”



Being aware of these can save time if the game doesn’t behave as expected.
