Rocket League World Championship begins its Fort Worth run this week

Twenty teams, three competitive formats and a $1.2 million prize pool headline the September 15–20 event.

The 2026 Rocket League World Championship starts September 15 at Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena and runs through September 20. Rocket League’s official primer lists 20 qualified teams, a $1.2 million prize pool and broadcasts on Twitch, YouTube and TikTok. The week’s format Play-in matches open the event on September 15.

Group-stage play follows on September 16 and 17, with 1v1 and 2v2 semi-finals threaded through the schedule. Playoffs begin September 18, the 1v1 final is set for that day, the 2v2 final follows September 19 and Championship Sunday closes the event on September 20. The first three days use parallel streams, so viewers

should check the official schedule rather than rely on a single broadcast link. Community discussion mirrors the primer’s dates; the Rocket League schedule remains the authority for changes.\n\n Headline image: Rocket League Esports. Official promotional material from the linked source.
