While most of us will never play under the bright lights of a Rocket League World Championship stage, the Champions Road Event lets everyone taste a bit of the glory. Get tons of RLCS and Esports-inspired items, play 2v2 Heatseeker and Boomer Ball, or even enter the Champions Road Clutch Plays Contest!

Ride through Champions Road from August 2 to August 16!

Want a World Championship trophy of your very own? Complete Champion’s Road challenges to earn your very own trophy Topper! Pair it with a slick set of Pro-Tek Wheels, or go for the EZ Sweep animated Topper. You’ll also unlock the Shmeedian Decal, a matching RLCS Crystalline Player Banner and Avatar Border, and a whole lot more.

Throughout Champions Road, players can also earn up to five Golden Trophies that unlock items from the Velocity, Triumph, and Vindicator Item Series’. Golden Trophies work the same way as previous Golden rewards⁠—complete the Challenge up to five times to earn Golden Trophies, then open them in your Inventory to unlock items!

Want to get your hands on some in-game merch to celebrate the big event? Grab a set of crystalline purple items with the 2023 Rocket League World Championship Bundle!

Equip them, and you’ll bring the shimmer and shine of the World Championship trophy to life with every play. Not only do they look great, but the RLCS Crystalline Decal is also universal so you can use it on every car in your Garage! You can also rock out with the “PANDEMONIUM” by NF Player Anthem, aka the official RLCS World Championship theme song.

Take your skills to the next level with two LTMs! First up is 2v2 Heatseeker, a mode where the Rocket Ball homes in on your opponent’s goal whenever you hit it. Be careful though: if they manage to make even a slight touch, the ball will rocket back towards your goal instead!

Then on August 9, we’ll switch things up with some Boomer Ball. In this mode, every move you make is a big one. Increased ball and boost speed paired with unlimited boost make this one of the fastest matches you’ll ever play!

No need to hit the concession stand ‘cause we’re releasing painted versions of the Popcorn Goal Explosion as a fan reward! Simply link your Twitch account to an Epic Games Account, tune into the Rocket League World Championship, and claim your in-game reward. This buttery treat will be available throughout the event, but from August 11 to 13 you’ll also have a chance to receive painted and unpainted Apex Wheels as a drop.

Not sure if your account is linked? You can get more info on Fan Rewards and check your account link status here.

The World Championship will take place in two phases, with the Wildcard Stage running from August 3 to 6. Then once the top 16 teams are decided, we’ll move to the Main Event August 8 -13! You’ll be able to watch the World Championship on the Rocket League Twitch channel, Rocket League Esports YouTube channel, and Rocket League TikTok page!
