Building on their initial collaboration launched in September 2024 for the World Championship, Progressive will amplify its role with expanded broadcasting rights, increased on screen graphic integrations, and a prominent presence across English-language broadcasts.

The deal introduces fresh co-branded content, including creator-led videos and stories spotlighting the Rocket League community, fostering deeper fan engagement.

“Progressive has become an important and valued sponsor within RLCS, and we’re delighted to be extending our collaboration into 2026,” said James Brown, BLAST Commercial Director. “Their continued investment, commitment to fan engagement, and willingness to innovate across broadcast, social and live events has made this a standout experience.”

Progressive now joins Epic Games Store in RLCS’s growing partnership portfolio.

Season Kickoff and Competitive Momentum

RLCS 2026 is underway, with global teams battling in online open qualifiers for Major spots. Karmine Corp claimed victory at the RLCS Kick Off Weekend in December 2025, sweeping Shopify Rebellion 4-0 in the Grand Final to secure a direct invite to the first Major and extra European slots at Boston, Paris, and the World Championship.

Boston Major and Global Broadcast Reach

The inaugural RLCS 2026 Major lands in Boston, Massachusetts, from February 19-22, promising  action with Progressive’s enhanced visibility boosting the viewing experience worldwide.

This renewal underscores Progressive’s commitment to esports innovation, aligning brand energy with Rocket League’s explosive growth.
