MLB: The Show is a Major League Baseball video game series produced by SIE San Diego Studio, a development team that is part of SCE Worldwide Studios. The series debuted in 2006 with MLB 06: The Show for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable. There has been a new release in the series every year since 2006, and since MLB 07: The Show in 2007, every game released has also been available for the PlayStation 3. MLB 12: The Show, which was released in March 2012, is also the first game in the series to not be available for the PS2 or PSP and the first game in the series to be made available for the PlayStation Vita, Sony's new handheld.

The premise of each game in the series is to emulate the sport of Baseball, more specifically, Major League Baseball, and present improvements over the previous installments.

The series is the successor to 989 Studios' MLB series. All installments have three commentators and they provide the play-by-play on what's happening during the game.

Every new installment in the MLB The Show series strives to emulate Major League Baseball, and present improvements over the previous installments. As such, gameplay simulates a typical game of Baseball, with the player controlling an entire team or a select player. The player may take control of one of 30 Major League Baseball teams in any game mode (excluding Road to the Show) and use that team in gameplay. The Series has variable game modes in which a player takes control of a team for a single game, one season, or a franchise (multiple seasons).
