Umamusume Summer Event 2026 Details
Make a Splash! Summer Showdown! ☆ is a limited-time story event where Trainers earn event points by completing career runs and event-specific activities. These points can be exchanged for rewards such as Carats, support items, and upgrade materials. The event also features bonus Umamusume and support cards that increase point gain when included in training runs. Below are the main features of the Umamusume Summer Event 2026.
Exclusive Story
The event features an exclusive event story centered on a summer beach setting, spotlighting Gold Ship Summer, Mejiro McQueen Summer, and Maruzensky Summer as the featured cast. The story ties directly into the July 2026 summer banner debut, and clearing story chapters throughout the event grants Carats and support materials, with the featured event reward being the Sakura Chiyono O SSR Guts Support Card.
Exclusive Rewards
Beyond the story rewards, Trainers can unlock a full ladder of point-based prizes just by playing through the event window. Points accumulate automatically from career runs, especially when bonus Umamusume and support cards are slotted into the deck, and each milestone hit unlocks Carats, training items, and upgrade materials that feed into future pulls and stat pushes.
There's no need to grind aggressively to complete this event. A steady rhythm of career runs across the two-week window is enough to reach the top tiers, with the reward ladder stretching from 2,000 points all the way to 1,000,000 points and dropping Carats, jewels, tickets, and support point items along the way. The centerpiece of the ladder is the Sakura Chiyono O SSR Guts Support Card, "A Good Heart Blossoms to Its Fullest," a limited-time pickup that gives Trainers a free SSR for their Guts stables just by engaging with the event throughout July 2026.
Bonus Missions
Alongside point rewards, the event features Daily Missions and One-time Missions that reward additional Carats and support items throughout the event window. Daily Missions include winning a career race, playing Team Trials, and logging in, while One-time Missions cover career playthroughs, race and G1 win counts, cumulative fan totals, Team Trials milestones, and top 3 placements in specific G1 races.
Umamusume Summer Event Bonus Umamusume & Support Cards
During the Umamusume Summer Event, certain Umamusume and support cards provide bonus event points when used in career runs. Including these bonus units increases point gain per run, allowing Trainers to progress through milestones and mission rewards more efficiently without changing their normal training flow.

- Use bonus support cards in your deck to further boost points, with Maruzensky and Nakayama Festa SSRs providing the strongest 45% bonus at MLB.
- Borrow bonus support cards from friends whenever available, as borrowed cards also apply their bonus.
- Use the event period efficiently by combining point farming with parent training, spark farming, or building Team Trial runners.
