Rocket League teams have a new competitive arena to showcase their skills. Rocket Rush Season 1 launches on January 10, 2026, running weekly through May 2, offering a flexible and rewarding experience for players and teams alike.
Designed as a free-entry, opt-in league, Rocket Rush allows teams to join, skip, or return at any week without losing their chance at the season finale. This structure encourages participation from both casual and semi-professional teams, ensuring a dynamic and competitive environment every week.
Weekly Competition with Real Prizes
Each week, teams compete in a tournament featuring a $100 prize pool, with points awarded to the top 16 teams. A sliding point scale ensures later weeks carry more weight, rewarding teams who improve or perform consistently throughout the season.
“This league is about giving teams regular competitive play while keeping it fun and accessible,” says the league organizer. “The point system and weekly prizes make every match matter, whether you’re chasing the leaderboard or just testing your roster against top talent.”
Season Finale: 2-Day Invitational
The season concludes with a 2-day Invitational Event designed to crown the ultimate champion:
-
Day 1 – Wildcard Qualifier: Open double elimination tournament where non-qualified teams compete for 2 wildcard spots.
-
Day 2 – Invitational Finals: Features 6 top teams from season standings plus the 2 Day 1 wildcard teams in a high-stakes bracket to determine the Rocket Rush Season 1 Champion.
