SD Loyal. Always Loyal. Always San Diego.

Earlier this year, Rocket League teamed up with San Diego Loyal Soccer Club as the front-of-kit sponsor for the team’s 2022 USL Championship season. Now, the collab continues with the in-game SD Loyal’s Always Loyal Bundle, featuring Decals based on the team’s IRL Rocket League jerseys.

Storm the Arena with SD Loyal from October 5 to 11!



Kit Talk

With a custom design based on San Diego's diverse topography, the San Diego Loyal (Home) Decal comes in a brilliant Torrey Green in honor of San Diego’s indigenous Torrey pine trees. The San Diego Loyal (Away) version opts for a subtle tribute to the city's streets, perfect for anyone craving a clean white design. The San Diego Loyal (Special Edition) Decal takes it back to the classic Rocket League colors—orange and blue.

Inspired by San Diego’s Mexican/Mexican American roots, the design for the San Diego Loyal (Siempre Leal) Decal is inspired by traditional Talavera Mexican tiles. SD Loyal’s jersey designs come from Mexican sports apparel brand Charly Futbol, who snagged another spot in the Bundle with cleated Charly Wheels.

Streamers from all over the Americas will battle it out in three phases of competition, with the Finals taking place on October 13. Instead of a traditional prize pool, the winners will receive part of a $25,000 prize pool to donate toward a cause of their choice!

The Campeonato de las Américas tournament will be broadcast in English on the official Rocket League Twitch channel, and in Spanish on the Rocket Street Twitch Channel.

Phase 1 begins with over 50 streamers competing in 2v2. This Phase will be Double Elimination, with the top eight teams passing on to Phase 2.

In Phase 2, eight new streamers will join the tournament as captains, drafting teammates from the 16 competitors remaining from Phase 1. Players will need to dust off their Extra Modes skills, as this phase features Modes such as Rumble, Heatseeker, Hoops, and more!

will have two groups of four teams competing in a 3v3 Round-Robin Format. The two highest-scoring teams from each group will move on to the finals. Points will be awarded as follows: 3 points for winning, 1 point for an overtime loss, and 0 points for a loss.

Finals will take place in a mixed Modes, best of five series. Chat will choose the Game Mode of the first match. When a team loses, they get a chance to stir things up by picking the Game Mode for the next match. Make it all the way to the end, and the crown is yours.

Donation Prizing Breakdown

  • 2nd Place: $6,000 per team

It’s Time To Take It Outside

Far from the bright lights of Utopia Coliseum, the dynamic neighborhood of Sovereign Heights is home to an underground Soccar scene like no other. While crews of tuner cars compete for street cred, local garages work through the night, beautifying the block with vibrant custom rides.

Dive into the Sovereign Heights Arena, play through a gritty new Rocket Pass, and unlock the classic Honda Civic Type R in Season 8 starting September 7!



Rocket Pass

Inspired by the famously hot hatchback, this in-game Honda Civic Type R is the first-ever IRL car to come included in Rocket Pass Premium! The JDM masterpiece hits the streets with a beloved spec: Octane Hitbox.

Paint the pitch with graffiti-themed Items like the Sprattle Boost, reactive Big Cap Topper, and Savage Spray Goal Explosion. Want to express yourself? Channel your inner meltdown with the Dumpster Fire Player Banner, or go for an old-school streetwear style with the Wrapstar Decal and Franko Fone Wheels.



Tuner’s Paradise

Leveling through the Rocket Pass Tiers also unlocks the upgraded Honda Civic Type R-LE. The addition of a bigger front intake, carbon fiber hood, and rear wing give this 90’s classic a track-focused feel. Players can also load up the original white and red Honda Civic Type R Wheels for a style that’s true to the revered original rims.

Does RGB lighting really increase performance? Scientists say no, but some street-smart engineers rigged up a premium EdgeLight package so you can test it for yourself! This glowing visual effect wraps the bottom of the car’s body kit and will be applied automatically while using a Painted version of either the Honda Civic Type R or Honda Civic Type R-LE. These Painted versions are found above Tier 70 in the Rocket Pass Pro Tiers.



City on Fire

It’s time to touch grass! Located next to the city's famous Centered Park, Sovereign Heights Arena is blanketed in artisanal turf crafted by the neighborhood co-op. You’ll also spy the PsyNet building across the block, home of famous bots like Wolfman, Roundhouse, and Jester.

Once you’re in tight with the local Soccar scene, start competing in Tournaments to win Season 8 Tournament Rewards. Shred the sidewalk with the Sk8s Player Banner, and fire up the coal-powered Hibachi Topper to grill up some street glizzys.

Lucky players might even open up a new Black Market Tournament Reward! Unlock the twinkling Starliner Decal and Amplitude Goal Explosion to build your personal laser light show.



Word On The Street

Season 8 has too much to show all at once, but word travels fast in the Heights. A new Hoops Arena coming later this season promises to revitalize the local streetball scene, while rumors of the annual Haunted Hallows event echo through the alleyways. Keep your ear to the ground—more announcements are sure to come soon!

Season 8 hits the streets Wednesday, September 7, following a game update on Tuesday, September 6 at 4pm PDT.
