Updated November 7, 2026.
This guide summarises the official Rocket League S24 Patch Notes v2.76, also posted on Steam, and the Season 24 announcement. We checked for later patches before publishing and did not find another numbered Rocket League update after v2.76. You can find every Rocket League guide on the Rocket League hub.
When did Rocket League Season 24 start and when does it end?
Psyonix announced that Season 24 would go live on September 23, 2026 at 9 AM PT, and the v2.76 patch notes were published the day before. The season has an underground street theme, with Psyonix describing it as a season where "speed, style, and a clean win" are all that matter.
The end date has not been posted in an official article we could find. Community season trackers list December 9, 2026, and the in-game countdown is the place to confirm it. Season 25 details are not announced.
What is new in Rocket League Season 24?
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Honor Duels | Challenge another player in your match to a 1v1 in the same match type. If they accept, you both move into the duel when the match ends, and the other players can spectate. |
| Black Market Trade-Ins | Trade in 3 duplicate Black Market items for a new one. |
| MVP Goal Explosions | The MVP's equipped Goal Explosion plays on the podium screen, with its name shown. |
| Stat Incrementing Titles | Some Titles track a stat and unlock new visuals at milestones. |
| Custom Scoreboards | Choose which stats show per mode, swapping shots, saves or assists for things like demos, high fives or flip resets. |
| Free look camera | A free look camera with updated keyboard and mouse defaults and an optional centre dot reticle. Controller players get free look too. |
| Bullet Ball (limited-time mode) | A last-car-standing mode where a fast homing ball targets one player and demolishes them on impact unless they flip into it. |
| Top 100 Titles | New Titles for players in the top 100 of the global Soccar leaderboards, granted at the end of the season. |
What changed for custom games and modes?
- Free-for-all modes, including Bullet Ball and Knockout, can now be picked in Private Matches and Exhibition.
- A new Boost Pad Recharge Rate mutator lets you change how quickly pads come back.
- Honor Duels use the match type you are already playing, so they are an easy way to settle a 1v1 without leaving the lobby.
Did Season 24 change ranked or Season Rewards?
The v2.76 notes we reviewed do not list changes to rank names, divisions or how Season Rewards are earned. The rules are the same: 10 wins per reward level, at that rank or higher, and rewards arrive when the next season begins. The new element is the Top 100 Titles for the global Soccar leaderboards. Our Rocket League ranks explained guide covers every rank and the reward rules in detail.
Which bugs did v2.76 fix?
- A PC freeze after alt-tabbing during a transition.
- A PS5 issue where the menus were invisible after waking from rest mode, and a console crash on boot.
- A crash in the main menu preview.
- A Stats API issue where goal events did not trigger in replays.
- SMAA anti-aliasing on PC, big boost pickup flicker on High quality and cars spawning into the ground in mirrored Training Packs.
- Smaller fixes to Switch bundle thumbnails, Rocket Pass notifications and Item Shop controller navigation.
What happened in RLCS 2026?
The 2026 Rocket League Championship Series ran Majors in Boston (February 19 to 22) and Paris (May 20 to 24) before the World Championship at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, from September 15 to 20, 2026. For the first time, 3v3, 2v2 and 1v1 champions were crowned at one World Championship. In the 3v3 grand final on September 20, Team Falcons swept Spacestation Gaming 4-0. The full RLCS 2027 schedule is not announced in the sources we checked.
What has Psyonix said about the future of Rocket League?
During the RLCS Paris Major in May 2026, Epic Games and Psyonix said the future of Rocket League will be built on Unreal Engine 6. A short clip was shown, but a release date and platforms are not announced. Until then, new content continues to arrive through seasonal updates like Season 24.
How should you use Season 24 to climb?
Honor Duels are a handy way to practise 1v1 situations with players at your level, and the free look camera is worth trying if you play on keyboard and mouse. For a full plan, read how to rank up in Rocket League.

Frequently asked questions
When did Rocket League Season 24 start?
Season 24 started on September 23, 2026 at 9 AM Pacific time, according to Psyonix's Season 24 announcement. The patch notes for version 2.76 were published a day earlier, on September 22. The season has an underground street theme and arrived with new features such as Honor Duels, Black Market Trade-Ins, custom scoreboards and a free look camera for keyboard, mouse and controller players.
When does Rocket League Season 24 end?
Psyonix had not published an end date in an article we could find at the time of writing. Community season trackers list December 9, 2026 as the expected end date, and the in-game season countdown is the most reliable way to confirm the exact day and time. Details for Season 25, including its theme and Rocket Pass, are not announced yet, so treat any leaked dates with caution.
What are Honor Duels in Rocket League?
Honor Duels are a new Season 24 feature that lets you challenge another player in your current match to a 1v1. The duel uses the same match type you are already playing. If the other player accepts, you both move into the duel automatically when the match ends, and the remaining players get an invite in the Social Menu so they can spectate the result.
How do Black Market Trade-Ins work?
Black Market Trade-Ins, added in Season 24, let you trade in three duplicate Black Market items and receive a new Black Market item in return. It gives players with spare duplicates a way to turn them into something they do not own yet. The patch notes do not promise a specific item from a trade, so think of it as a way to refresh your collection rather than to target one item.
Who won the RLCS 2026 World Championship?
In the 3v3 grand final on September 20, 2026, Team Falcons beat Spacestation Gaming 4-0 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, without dropping a game. The 2026 World Championship was also the first to crown 3v3, 2v2 and 1v1 champions at a single event. The full schedule for RLCS 2027 had not been announced in the sources we checked for this guide.
