All the top Rocket League teams drive into the competition starting with the Group stage. Only eight out of 16 can advance to the playoffs. The intense matches are packed into two tournament days.
The RLCS 2025 World Finals take place in Lyon, France, which promises lots of excitement in the arena. However, to play in front of this wonderful crowd, the teams should make it out of their groups at the Rocket League World Championship 2025.
For some players, this task is on the level of a warm-up. It’s really hard to see the final brackets without Karmine Corp, Vitality, Falcons, and NRG. For other teams, boosting themselves through the group matches is a great deal! Four participating orgs had a tough Play-In stage to be here.

A warm-up stage and more
On the one hand, some teams can feel pretty safe at this tournament stage. On the other hand, everyone here is aimed at the best result, as it's a way to better playoff seeding.
- Karmine Corp won the Birmingham Major and the Rocket League Esports World Cup 2025.
- Team Falcons are the Raleigh Major 2025 Champions.
- Team Vitality — The World Champions 2024 have adapted nicely to the new org, as Vitality’s results have been boosted to the top 4 level at the recent international tournaments.
- NRG remains the best Rocket League players in North America.
As for exact groups at the RLCS 2025 World Championship, Group B is more stacked with the tournament favorites.
- Group A gives a nice chance to The Ultimates, Dignitas, and Geekay Esports to qualify for the playoffs. These teams reached the grand finals in Birmingham, Raleigh, and at the EWC 2025. FURIA should join this fight, as it has traditionally been the best team in South America.
- Spacestation, Team Secret, and Twister Minds should battle for the fourth qualification spot in Group B. Both have progressed substantially with their results, even if their performances are not stable at all.
The final matches of the Rocket League World Championship 2025 happen on Sept. 13 and Sept. 14. Alongside the team playoffs, we can witness the RLCS 2025 1v1 World Final: Mawkzy and Nwpo play on Saturday, Sept. 13.
