The 2026 Rocket League World Championships will be held in Fort Worth at Dickies Arena Sept. 15-20, with the Fort Worth Sports Commission as the tourism partner.
Fort Worth is no stranger to these types of events, having hosted the 2024 Rocket League World Championships as well as BLAST Premier Rivals Fort Worth 2026.

Together, we’re focused on delivering a world-class event experience while continuing to grow the global reach and impact of Rocket League esports. Previously we saw thousands of fans traveling to Fort Worth from out of Texas for the World Championships, and we hope to see the same impacts again,” he said.
The 2024 edition was viewed by over 426,000 viewers worldwide, making it one of the most- watched events in Rocket League history.
Fort Worth Sports Commission Director of Business Development Cassie Poss talked about the partnership with BLAST.
“We are thrilled to bring the Rocket League World Championship back to Fort Worth,” said Poss. “This partnership reflects our commitment to growing esports globally while showcasing the city on a worldwide stage. We are excited to welcome fans, players and partners for what promises to be an unforgettable championship.”
