Rocket League Paris Major: All You Need To Know
The Rocket League Paris Major will take place May 20-24 at Paris La Défense Arena in Nanterre, marking the second major LAN tournament of the RLCS (Rocket League Championship Series) calendar in 2026.
Sixteen teams representing seven regions will compete for substantial prize money and RLCS points that count toward qualification for both the Esports World Cup and RLCS World Championship. The competition carries high stakes for teams vying for postseason eligibility and international tournament placement.
The tournament structure splits the event into two phases: the first two days will be held behind closed doors, followed by public-facing competition. This format provides controlled conditions for preliminary rounds while building toward spectator-attended finals.
The Paris Major underscores the French capital’s growing prominence as an esports destination. Paris is also being considered as a potential host for the Esports World Cup, positioning the city as a major competitive gaming hub for 2026.
