We are happy to announce that the next Season of Collegiate Rocket League (CRL) will be hosted on FACEIT, with all tournament operations, sign-ups, and qualifications running through our platform.

In this Season, Psyonix will feature a new format for the CRL, introducing two conferences: Western and Eastern, instead of four as it has been in previous seasons. Teams that are west of the Mississippi River will be eligible to play in the Western Conference, while

any teams that are east of the Mississippi River will be eligible for the Eastern Conference.

Tournament structure and how to qualify

Each conference will feature two Open Qualifiers, with each of these sending the top 8 teams to the Round-Robin League Play. The top two teams from each conference of the League Play stage will qualify for the National Championship at the Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas on November 9th!

How to register on FACEIT and updates to our Beta phase

Earlier this year we announced that Rocket League is coming to FACEIT in Closed Beta. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every player who participated in the Beta and shared their valuable thoughts and feedback.

To find out how to register on FACEIT and enter Rocket League tournaments, please visit this page.

We’re currently working hard to prepare for the official launch of Rocket League on FACEIT. We’ll be launching with a host of brand-new updates to the player experience, read more about these below:

We will be making significant changes to the way our skill level system works, based on the feedback you provided throughout the Beta.

We’ll be adding the new map pick system to FACEIT. All FACEIT tournaments will use the default competitive map pool on the platform, while tournament organizers will have the ability to choose their preferred map rotation for tournaments.

We are continuing to explore adding a Rocket League section to the FACEIT Shop. Stay tuned for more updates on this!

The above updates are coming to FACEIT in the near future, but from today onwards, we are entering the Open Beta phase of Rocket League on FACEIT! This means you will no longer require a beta key to join the FACEIT platform and compete in Rocket League tournaments.

We’ll soon be sharing the exact dates of the Beta launch, so stay tuned for more information!
