Bracket Rivalry
Rocket League’s first community-driven content creator bracket — your goals count.
⚔️ How It Works

Bracket Rivalry pairs content creator duos against each other. Pick your favourite team, claim their free Player Title from the Item Shop, and every goal you score while wearing that Title moves them forward in the bracket. The final two teams meet at the Paris Major on May 24.

Claim Team Title March 20 – 26, 2026
Goals Count Toward Bracket March 20 – Finals
Grand Final Paris Major · May 24, 2026

Player Titles for your chosen team are free in the Item Shop during the claim window. The bracket advances based on community participation — total goals scored while wearing your team’s Title decide who moves on.

🆓

Free to Participate

No purchase needed. Claim the Player Title during the Item Shop window and play normally.

🎯

Goals = Votes

Every goal scored while wearing your team’s Title adds directly to their bracket score.

🏟

Paris Major Finale

The top two creator duos face off live at the Paris Major on May 24.
