MLB The Show 24 arrives on PlayStation Tournaments

March 13th, 2024

MLB The Show is back on PlayStation Tournaments and bigger than ever. Compete in daily tournaments for Stubs, PS5 Tournament Packs, and exclusive avatars! 

We’re kicking things off with a series of launch tournaments. From March 19th to April 15th, every player who plays in a tournament will take home an exclusive launch avatar featuring MLB The Show 24 cover athlete Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Winners will receive a prestige launch avatar!

Launch tournaments end on April 15th, but we’ll have daily tournaments all year, with increased prizing on weekends. Look out for the Celebration Series, where we’ll celebrate special moments in baseball –  and sometimes just because – with special tournaments with unique themes and exclusive prizes! The first Celebration Series, the Coach Classic, runs from April 12th to April 15th. 

There’s never been a better time to step up to the plate. MLB The Show 24 tournaments start on March 19th!

As a result, we’ll be keeping 16 player brackets on weekdays, but increasing to 32 player brackets on weekends. Both brackets will see prizing increased, but on weekends, prize pools will be more than doubled with larger tournament brackets of 32 players! Come and join the fun, and see if you can collect all 6 Celebration Series avatars!
