How the RLCS Club Championship works
The Club Championship is a new competition that sits apart from the Major structure. Psyonix directly invites 20 clubs, and four more spots go to an open online qualifier that starts in November, with sign-up and eligibility details coming before it opens. The 24 teams play groups and playoffs in London for the title of Club Kick-Off Champion, and the winner also earns an extra slot for its region at the Club Finale.
The whole Club Championship has a $2.5 million total prize pool. The split for the Kick-Off and the Finale hasn’t been published. Ticket information was promised in the weeks after the announcement on Sept. 20, and a ticket waiting list is open.
RLCS 2027 Majors and Worlds
Psyonix hasn’t announced dates, cities or formats for the 2027 Majors or the 2027 world championship as of Oct. 18, 2026. In 2026, the season ended with a 20-team world championship: 16 teams on RLCS points and four from Last Chance Qualifiers.
How RLCS Worlds 2026 ended
The 2026 world championship ran from Sept. 15 to 20 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, with a $1.2 million prize pool. NRG came in as defending champion, but Team Falcons knocked NRG out 4-1 in a lower bracket quarterfinal, beat Karmine Corp 4-2 in the semifinals and swept Spacestation 4-0 in the grand final on Sept. 20.
Falcons took $300,000, Spacestation $153,000, and Karmine Corp and FUT Esports $99,000 each. NRG and Virtus.pro finished fifth to sixth. The 2026 season also had a Rocket League stop at the Esports World Cup in Paris, and our Esports World Cup 2027 page covers the next edition in Riyadh.
This page is updated as soon as Psyonix announces the Club Championship tickets, the qualifier details or the 2027 Majors.
