Upcoming Rocket League Tournaments

Rocket League tournaments work by bringing together teams of players to compete against one another in a structured and organized format. Teams, which typically consist of three players, face off in a series of matches that blend soccer and driving elements, as they aim to score goals by hitting the ball into the opposing team's net using their rocket-powered vehicles. Depending on the tournament, teams may represent various regions, countries, or professional gaming organizations.

Tournaments often begin with group stages, where teams are divided into groups and compete in a round-robin or double round-robin format. The top teams from each group advance to the playoffs, which generally follow a single-elimination or double-elimination structure. Playoff matches can be best-of-three, best-of-five, or best-of-seven series, depending on the event.

Rocket League tournaments range from regional competitions to prestigious international championships like the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) and the Rocket League World Championship, showcasing the highest level of skill, strategy, and teamwork in the Rocket League esports scene.

The prize money in Rocket League tournaments can vary significantly depending on the scale, size, and prestige of the event. Smaller, regional tournaments may offer prize pools ranging from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. In contrast, larger and more prestigious international events, such as the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) and the Rocket League World Championship, can feature prize pools in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

For example, RLCS X (2020-2021 season) had a total prize pool of $4,500,000 distributed across various regional events and majors. Prize pools for different events may fluctuate, and not all tournaments will offer the same level of rewards.
