For a complete list of known issues in Rocket League, go here.

Long held in place by an ancient seal, the dragons of Forbidden Temple Arena have finally awoken from their slumber. As the two resume their eternal battle, these legendary beasts have left a treasure trove of elemental Items in their wake.

Discover the secrets of a long-lost Rocket Pass, unearth Forbidden Temple (Fire & Ice), and harness the power of the Emperor Car in Season 9, starting December 7!



While dragons may claim the skies above, the Arena is ruled by a different breed of beast. Wrought from the elements, the Emperor muscle car comes to Rocket League with four different versions! The base car is available immediately with Rocket Pass Premium, and working through the Tiers will unlock the upgraded Emperor II.

Two more Special Edition versions will be available in the Pro Tiers. Emperor II: Frozen brings chill vibes to your sweatiest matches, or you can light up the Arena with Emperor II: Scorched. All versions of Emperor will use the Breakout Hitbox and are available in Rocket Pass Premium.

After you’ve got the new car, you’ll need some Items to go with it! Fans of the Interstellar Decal will be starstruck by the constellation-inspired Constella Decal, while the fire and ice theme continues with two sets of Special Edition Wheels. Equip the Piercer: Crystalized Wheels to freeze out the competition, or slip into the Forerunner: Roasted Wheels for your next barn burner.

Missed out on 2017’s Dragon Banner Season Rewards? You’ll have another chance to feed your draconic side with the Ice Drake and Fire Drake Player Banners.

Those who venture into the Rocket Pass Pro Tiers can earn two new Goal Explosions. Unleash the fury of fire with the Brimstone Goal Explosion at Tier 95, or unlock the Ice Age Goal Explosion at Tier 115 to put the world on freeze. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg—just like Season 5's Cosmosis Goal Explosion, both these effects will spread across the Arena, briefly covering the pitch in fire or ice whenever you score!



We finally found out why the Forbidden Temple is so, well… forbidden. With both dragons let loose, the once lush Arena has been transformed into a wasteland of permafrost and molten lava. Despite the damages, Forbidden Temple (Fire & Ice) seems like the perfect place for a friendly game of Soccar!



This Season’s Tournament Rewards really bring the heat. Leave a trail of flames behind you with the Seared Trail and Fireball Boost. But first, you’ll need something to burn, and the Oil Can Antenna has all the fuel you’ll ever need.

For the truly lucky, this Season’s Black Market Rewards bring out the fiery side of competition. Light up the night with an incendiary Fire Clap Goal Explosion, or tap into something monstrous with the Skulking Scale, an animated Decal that mixes glittering crystal with the scales of a dragon.



After the devastation of the temple grounds, we discovered several ancient tomes amongst the rubble. Their true meaning has yet to be unlocked, but so far we’ve deciphered two short messages: Frosty Fest will bring extremely chill vibes, and Neon Nights is returning with the hottest beats ever! Our trained Psyonix Archeologists will report back with more info soon.

Season’s end also means Season 8 Tournament Credits will reset. Players who participated in Competitive Tournaments during Season 8 will receive an All-Star Cup reward. Unspent Tournament Credits will be converted to the highest level reward a player is eligible to earn based on their Tournament Rank and Tournament Credit amount. This conversion will happen automatically the first time you log into Season 9.

Keep your thermostat close—Season 9 begins Wednesday, December 7!

In all of history, there has never been a sport as big as football. Nations gather together in raucous rebellion, while only one team can claim the ultimate victory. That same spirit lives on in Rocket League, and now everyone can have a taste of the world’s most popular sport with the Nike FC Cup Limited Time Event!

Starting November 17, players can complete in-game challenges to unlock Nike Federation and Global Decals for dozens of countries. Football takes over the Item Shop with multiple Item Packs, including the Nike CR7 Pack inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo’s Mercurial boot. We’ll also introduce Fan Clash: Nike FC Cup, an international competition where players compete together for their country's glory and exclusive placement rewards.

Then on November 30, we come back for the second half with the Nike FC Showdown Limited Time Mode. The Item Shop will also see a second round of Items, including the Nike FC 2022 Pack.

This is a big one, so let's dive in!




First up, the Item Shop! The Nike Next Generation Pack comes with three Decals inspired by three famous Nike boots: Nike Phantom GT - Copper, Nike Tiempo - Copper, and the Nike Air Zoom Mercurial - Copper. Alongside these Octane, Fennec, and Dominus Decals, players will also receive the Nike FC 2022 Goal Explosion. The pack will cost 1100 Credits, while each Item is also available for individual purchase.

Football has created some of the world’s biggest sports celebrities, and now you can sport the same style as Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo! The Nike CR7 Pack comes with the Nike Air Zoom Mercurial - CR7 Decal and a matching Nike Air Zoom Mercurial - CR7 Player Banner, all for 300 Credits.

Alongside this Item Shop haul comes Challenge Rewards! To unlock 40+ Decals from around the world, you'll need to complete challenges by diving into games of Chaos, Dropshot, Snow Day, and Hoops! You’ll also be able to get a Golden Egg that unlocks an Item from Champions Series 1 through 4.

Both the Nike FC Challenges and Item Shop Items will be available from November 17 to December 6.




Football brings nations across the world together, and so does Fan Clash: Nike FC Cup! By signing up and scoring points for your country of choice, you can earn rewards on a massive scale.


Starting November 17, sign up at the Fan Clash: Nike FC Cup site. Once you’ve picked your team, it’s time to start dreaming about those rewards! As soon as you sign in, you’ll already unlock the “Footy Fanatic” Player Title.


Once you’ve locked in your favorite team, start playing Rocket League matches to earn points! Remember to check your Fan Clash page as you play⁠—you’ll be able to track your team's progress on the Global Leaderboard.

Every goal, save, and assist you score throughout the event will add points to your team’s global total, with point normalization making things fair for bigger or smaller countries. Remember: it’s not how many players you have; it’s how hard they work!


Finally, you’ll earn Placement Rewards based on how many points your country earns throughout Fan Clash: Nike FC Cup. Higher placements earn higher rewards, so do your best to push your country to the top of the leaderboard! Fan Clash: Nike FC Cup will run from November 17 at 9 a.m. PST (5 p.m. UTC) until November 30, 6:00 p.m. PST (December 1 at 2 a.m.)

Welcome to Champions Field (Nike FC)! This pink and blue Arena will be home to Nike FC Showdown, a Limited Time Mode that achieves the unthinkable—combining cars and football!

This isn’t the Soccar you’re familiar with though. In Showdown, two teams square off with a Nike Ball, modified Mutator Settings, and intense 4v4 action. The newly designed Ball will curve and cut through the air depending on how you hit it, with a higher max speed and low bounce settings. These changes mean the ball will spend more time close to the ground, and it will be easier to dribble with the front of your car instead of the hood. Nike FC Showdown will be playable from November 30 to December 14.




Players can expect a new wave of Nike Items in the Item Shop from November 30 to December 6. If you need even more football icon Items, pick up the Nike Mercurial - R9 Octane Decal, inspired by Ronaldo Nazário’s ‘98 R9 Mercurial Boot. Looking for something flashier? The Nike FC Pack brings a whole new vibe to futuristic sports apparel for 300 Credits.

Item Shop Release 1: November 17 - December 6

Fan Clash: Nike FC Cup: November 17 - November 30

Item Shop Release 2: November 30 - December 6

Nike FC Showdown: November 30 - December 14
