This is how the Rocket League Championship Series 2022-23 works

In Rocket League, players try to get a ball into the opponent's goal using rocket-powered cars. Launched in 2016, the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) pits the world's best teams against each other in this esports title. The tournament series is divided into three sections: “Fall”, “Winter” and “Spring”, each of which includes three regionals and a major tournament at the end. At the end of the season, the best Rocket League team in the world will be crowned in the Rocket League World Championship. The defending champion is Team BDS, which was crowned Rocket League World Champion in the 2022 final against G2 Esports. eSPORTS1 will now accompany the new 2022-23 season of the Rocket League Championship Series live. After the season opener at the beginning of October, the EU Regional 3 in the Fall Split is now scheduled from Friday, November 11, to Sunday, November 13, which eSPORTS1 will broadcast live daily from 5:00 p.m. The commentators on Saturday and Sunday are Robin Ahlert and Julian Spies. The Fall Major then follows from December 8-11. Selected events of the RLCS will also be shown live on SPORT1 on free-TV.
