The RLCS is the most prestigious level of esports competition a Rocket League player can qualify for. Worlds is held annually, and teams can qualify through the game’s regions (Europe, North America, Oceania, and Middle East and North Africa) via Majors or through Last-Chance Qualifier spots.
The 2025 Rocket League World Championship (Worlds 2025) will occur in Fall 2025. Public events in the event’s host arena will span from September 12 to September 14 2025, while matches will be broadcast live starting on September 9 2025. Worlds 2025 is sponsored by Progressive.
