Rocket League RLCS World Championship 2026 Returns to Fort Worth
The Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) World Championship Finals 2026 will return to Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, marking the third time the venue has hosted the prestigious tournament. The announcement was made during the Rocket League Paris Major, the final LAN event before the championship.
Dickies Arena has become an established home for elite esports competition, having previously hosted RLCS Worlds in 2022 and 2024. The venue recently demonstrated its capacity to host major tournaments by staging the Blast Rivals Spring Counter-Strike event, another championship organized by RLCS tournament operator BLAST.
The 2026 World Championship will feature the 20 best Rocket League teams competing globally from September 15-20. The tournament will offer a $1.2 million prize pool, supplemented by additional funding generated through in-game cosmetic content sales—a revenue-sharing model that has become standard for Rocket League’s competitive ecosystem.
The return to Fort Worth underscores the stability and prestige of the RLCS as a premier esports franchise, while Dickies Arena’s repeated selection reflects its proven track record in hosting world-class competitive gaming events.
