Lightning & Retro Lightning
Much like other months, there will be a September Lightning & Retro Lightning. Individuals will need to collect the Spotlights at the end of each drop for the in-season Lightning, and Spotlights from packs for the Retro.
Since this is the final month of the 2025 MLB regular season, these will also be the last Lightnings for The Show 25.
This guide will be updated.
