Look Sports Media – The Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) has ignited excitement within the community by revealing Boston, Massachusetts, as the battleground for its first Major of 2026. The high-octane competition is scheduled to unfold from February 19th to 22nd, culminating in a thrilling weekend showdown at the Agganis Arena on February 21st and 22nd, where fans can witness the action live.
This Boston Major marks a significant milestone as the second major international event on the Tier 1 calendar and the inaugural arena event of the RLCS 2026 season. While officially part of the 2026 circuit, the RLCS Kick-Off Weekend will serve as an appetiser, taking place from December 5th to 7th, 2025, in BLAST’s Copenhagen studio.
Notably, this event marks the second consecutive RLCS Major hosted in the United States, following the Raleigh Major held in June. Boston’s Agganis Arena has a history with the RLCS, having previously hosted the Spring Major in 2023, where Team Vitality emerged victorious.

The announcement follows closely on the heels of the news that the RLCS will be returning to France, with Paris securing the rights to host the second Major of the year. This second Major will take place at the La Défense Arena in Paris, France, from May 20-24, with 3 crowd days. The announcement was made at the Rocket League World Championship 2025 in Lyon, where NRG claimed the trophy. The French crowd was rewarded at the sold-out LDLC arena with the RLCS in 2026.
Looking ahead, the Rocket League World Championship 2026 will serve as the grand finale of the year, taking place from September 15th to 20th. The location is yet to be announced. This year’s championship will feature format changes, expanding to six days, one more day than the 2025 format.
The championship will showcase 20 elite teams, with 16 securing their spots based on circuit points accumulated throughout the season. The remaining four teams will battle their way through the Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQ) in July. One team from each region (MENA, South America, North America, and Europe) will earn their place through the intense LCQ gauntlet.
