Rocket League Launch Monthly Cash Cups Featuring Over 390,000 Dollars in Prize Pool
Rocket League is expanding competitive opportunities for players worldwide in 2025 with the launch of the Rocket League Monthly Cash Cups series. This initiative, in partnership with the esports platform Start.gg, offers a recurring monthly tournament structure from April through December 2025, featuring a total prize pool exceeding $390,000 across multiple regions and game modes.
Rocket League Monthly Cash Cups 2025: Overview
The Rocket League Monthly Cash Cups are designed to provide players from all skill levels and regions with frequent opportunities to compete for real money prizes. These cups are open to all players and hosted on Start.gg, an esports tournament platform. The initiative aims to build on the success of previous community-focused competitions like the Offseason Opens and Champion’s Road Opens in 2024, extending competitive engagement throughout the year.
Prize Pool and Regional Distribution
The total prize money allocated for the Monthly Cash Cups in 2025 is $390,000 (~£294,514). Competitions are held across seven major regions:
- Asia-Pacific (APAC)
- Europe (EU)
- Middle East & North Africa (MENA)
- North America (NA)
- Oceania (OCE)
- South America (SAM)
- Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)
Prize pools vary by region, reflecting local competitive landscapes and participation levels.
Monthly Cash Cups Game Modes and Formats
Unlike traditional Rocket League esports events that primarily focus on the standard 3v3 SocCar mode, the Monthly Cash Cups feature a rotation of different game modes to diversify competition and appeal to a broader player base. These include:
- 1v1 (solo competition)
- 2v2 (duos)
- 3v3 (standard competitive mode)
- 3v3 Rumble (a chaotic mode with power-ups)
- 2v2 Hoops (basketball-inspired mode)
This variety allows players to showcase skills in multiple Rocket League disciplines and encourages participation from those who may prefer solo or smaller team formats.
Tournament Structure and Seeding
- Each Monthly Cash Cup uses a double-elimination bracket format, ensuring teams have a chance to recover from an early loss.
- Seeding is determined by the average rank of each team in the relevant game mode at the time registration closes, providing a merit-based placement system.
- Registration for each cup opens well in advance on Start.gg, and players can sign up individually or as teams depending on the mode.
