'Rocket League' Celebrates 10th Anniversary, Season 19 Kicks Off Later This Week

by Rainier on June 16, 2025 @ 3:31 p.m. PDT

Rocket League is a fast-paced action-sports game featuring amazing physics, crazy aerial action, and compelling multiplayer combat.

The sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, Rocket League expands on its successful pedigree with improved graphics and physics systems, a robust new single-player campaign, considerable customization options, and a fully-charged multiplayer game geared for a next-generation action-sports experience.

Rocket League is a futuristic action-sports game where players pilot rocket-powered vehicles in an enhanced version of soccer by driving their vehicles into the ball and other players in a variety of arenas. Rocket League uses an advanced physics system to simulate realistic interactions between cars and the ball, where mass and momentum determine how hard balls and cars hit each other, creating a unique and visceral playing experience.

Starting June 18, players can celebrate a decade of soccar glory in Rocket League Season 19! This three-part Season features the DFH Stadium (10th Anniversary) Arena, a Rocket Pass headlined by the all-new Xentari (Octane hitbox) and Breakout X (Breakout hitbox) Car Bodies, login rewards for each part of the season and Rocket League’s birthday, and more.

  • Part 1 - June 18: The adidas FC Clash LTE kicks off with Challenge rewards and two new LTMs: adidas Soccar Strike and Possession Rumble. Plus, Clubs will be overhauled with new ways to play, compete, and progress together!
  • Part 2 - July 16: Jump into SunlessKhan’s Demolition Duel LTM, unlock a new car in Summer Road Trip, and celebrate Rocket League’s birthday with the Rocket League Year 10 ft. deadmau5 LTE starting August 5. And from July 7 (Rocket League’s official birthday!) to September 17, claim the Cristiano (Gold) Wheels login reward!
  • Part 3 - August 21: Players can test their versatility with five different modes in Pentathlon Tournaments. There will also be an Echo Item, which can be earned by bumping into players who already own it in Echo Playlists! On September 4, cruise down the Champions Road with the new Jump Jam LTM and get ready for the Rocket League World Championship in Lyon, France, taking place September 9-14.
  • Turn up the radio: Rocket Pass Premium has 70+ tiers of free and Premium rewards, including remixes of iconic Rocket League songs like Season 19’s theme song, “Breathing Underwater (VIP)” from Hollywood Principle. Plus, classic Monstercat Player Anthems like “LUV U NEED U” by Slushii, “Therapy” by Conro, and more will be in the Shop July 7-20!

Celebrate 10 Years of Aerials and Epic Saves in Rocket League Season 19!

It’s Rocket League’s 10th anniversary in Season 19, so we’re making Season 19 the best yet. Learn about all three parts and the revamped Clubs feature!

Celebrate a decade of soccar glory in Rocket League Season 19, starting June 18 at 8 AM PT! Hit the pitch in the 10th Anniversaryvariant of the revered DFH Stadium. Go up the Tiers of a Rocket Pass featuring two Rocket League-original cars. Oh, and this Season features a limited-time event starting day oneadidas FC Clash.

⁠Unlike past Seasons, Rocket League Season 19 will be split across three major parts so you know we’re playing in the big leagues:

Rocket League Season 19: Parts 1, 2, and 3

Part 1

Commencing June 18, Part 1 of Season 19 is all about the power of teamwork. (What a save!) Look forward to an overhauled Clubs feature and the adidas FC Clash LTE featuring Challenge rewards and two new LTMs. 

Part 2

The part-y kicks into high gear on July 16: we’ve brought the community into the fold with a new LTM envisioned by SunlessKhan! Players will detonate on contact with the ball in SunlessKhan’s Demolition Duel. (wait so how do you get the ball in the goal…)

⁠ ⁠Unlock a new car in the next Summer Road Trip later in July. And of course, you couldn’t celebrate Rocket League’s birthday without a big component of what makes the game special: music. Look forward to the Rocket League Year 10 ft. deadmau5 LTE starting August 5!

Part 3

Season 19 wraps up with a celebration of competition, victory, and Rocket League legends! Prove your Rocket League versatility in Pentathlon Tournaments starting August 21. Every aspect of your abilities will be tested, because these tournaments consist of five different modes. May the most well-rounded team win!

We’re also introducing an Echo Item, which means it can be earned by bumping into players who already own it in Echo Playlists.

⁠In the lead-up to the Rocket League World Championship, take a drive on the Champions Road on September 4. This year’s Champions Road includes a new LTM: Jump Jam! After Champions Road, watch the globe’s best Rocket League players battle it out from September 9 to September 14 at the Rocket League World Championship in Lyon - Décines, France.

This is all a preview of what’s coming in Season 19. Stay tuned for more details on these things in the future!

Login Rewards

⁠Each of Season 19’s three parts, and Rocket League’s birthday, will arrive with a new login reward for players to claim! For Part 1, all players who log into Rocket League at any point from June 18 to September 17 will instantly receive the gilded Nice Shot! Goal Explosion.

  • July 16 - September 17: Gold Crush Boost
  • August 21 - September 17: Anniversary Formal Octane Decal

Revamping Clubs

The Clubs feature is getting a major overhaul. Being in a Club should be more than just about a shared tag, so we’re introducing new ways for Clubs to play, compete, and progress together:

Club Stats and Milestone Progression

Immortalize your Clubs journey like never before! Track career and Seasonal stats, record historical moments, and earn Club Medals for playing matches and getting goals, saves, and assists.

⁠Stats ranging from win percentage and time played, to turtle goals and pool shots, will also be tracked.

Club Camaraderie

Make a statement before you even strike the ball with a Club intro sequence that will play in all matches where a full Club party is present.

⁠Take your Club’s prestige up a notch with Club Titles, earned for netting Club Medals in all three milestone categories (Goals, Saves, and Assists). These can be showcased beneath your Club Banner!

Quality of Life Updates

A more seamless Clubs experience awaits thanks to quality of life updates such as member status and expanded club roles (like Club Managers who can invite new players to join).

DFH Stadium (10th Anniversary) Arena

One of Rocket League’s OG Arenas is getting a tune-up to celebrate a decade of hosting unforgettable soccar matches. The DFH Stadium (10th Anniversary) Arena comes complete with anniversary decorations, arena announcements from Rocket League caster Shogun, and a golden trophy towering over the Battle-Cars below!

Remix It Up in Season 19’s Rocket Pass Premium

Season 19’s Rocket Pass Premium Tiers are packed with rewards inspired by the 10th anniversary and popular items from across the years!

Drift into the stadium with the all-new Xentari and Breakout X Car Bodies — both Rocket League originals. The Xen of driving, the Xentari muscle car has the Octane hitbox and is automatically unlocked upon purchasing Season 19’s Rocket Pass Premium. And after ten years, its time has come — the Breakout X sports car has the Breakout hitbox and is unlockable later in the Pass.

⁠Also in Rocket Pass Premium, turn the volume up to Player Anthems from Hollywood Principle: “Solar Eclipses (VIP)” with Dr. Awkward, “Firework (VIP),” and Season 19’s theme song “Breathing Underwater (VIP).” These remixes of iconic Rocket League songs form a brand-new unreleased EP featured first in Rocket League. (You have VIP access 🕶)

Xentari

⁠There are 70+ Tiers across free and Premium, meaning lots of Decals, Wheels, and yeah, the THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUE Player Title.

Season 19 Tournament Rewards

Looks like someone let the genie out of the bottle! This Season’s tournament rewards are a wish come true with items like the Genie’s Lamp Topper, Pharaoh Decal, and Magic Lamp Goal Explosion

⁠Take total control of your car like it's a magic carpet to earn these items and more!

⁠adidas FC Clash LTE

Since Clubs are getting a revamp, IRL football clubs are getting in on the action! adidas FC Clash runs from June 18 at 8 AM PT to 9 AM PT on July 9. Play two new LTMs with your Club and complete Challenges to earn rewards based on adidas Elite football clubs!

LTMs

adidas Soccar Strike LTM (June 18 at 8 AM PT - July 1 at 9 AM PT)

In the 3v3 adidas Soccar Strike LTM, the ball physics are changed so that:

  • The ball’s easier to dribble with the nose of your car.
  • You can add more curve and spin to your shots.
  • The ball will be kept closer to the pitch for a more grounded experience, reminiscent of the beautiful game!

This LTM will take place on grass arenas like Mannfield and Estadio Vida, and will feature the official adidas Club World Cup ball! It’s like soccar, with more emphasis on the soccer. (Or uh, football.)

Possession Rumble LTM (July 2 at 9 AM PT - July 16 at 9 AM PT)

Scoring goals takes a backseat in the new Possession Rumble LTM! Instead of trying to put the ball in the net, your team must work together to maintain possession, earning points for every two seconds the ball is in your team’s control.

⁠THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUE though, so things don’t end there. Spicing things up are a new rock-paper-scissors style set of power-ups. Use power-ups at the right time to counter the strategies of opposing players and win that ball back!

⁠The Possession Rumble LTM will stay beyond adidas FC Clash, until July 16 at 9 AM PT to be exact. It’s played on four Rocket Labs Arenas: Hourglass, Barricade, Pillars and the new Roadblock!

Challenges and Rewards

Eleven new items can be unlocked by completing adidas FC Clash Challenges! Pledge your support to Los Blancos with the Real Madrid CF Octane Decal and Real Madrid CF Banner, or show your loyalty to Italy's most successful football team with the Juventus FC Octane Decal and Juventus FC Banner.

⁠If the color red is more your taste, look no further than the Arsenal F.C. Octane Decal and Arsenal F.C. Banner, or the Manchester United F.C. Octane Decal and Manchester United F.C. Banner. Burn rubber repping The Red Devils!

⁠There’s even something for the neutrals too. The adidas Ball Octane Decal, adidas Ball Wheels, and adidas Ball Banner will let you park on the fence in style!

⁠More adidas Club items will roll into the Item Shop on June 25 at 5 PM PT, including the Fennec ZR-F Car Body ⚽
