The Rocket League Championships Series has decided to not go back to online activities and, instead, double down on in-person events and the fans are loving it. After delivering Home decals<\/a>, Away Kits<\/a> and promising sponsors that maintain the league’s health through thick and thin financially, the car soccer extravaganza is returning to professional play with fans in attendance.<\/p>\n

With the last LAN of its kind dated all the way back to December 2019 when NRG lifted their first-ever RLCS World Championship, it took organisers and developers, Psyonix, two full years before making offline competition possible.<\/p>\n

Following a successful closed-doors Fall Major held in Stockholm, Sweden, Psyonix wanted to go bigger for their next in-person event and bigger is an understatement now. From format to dates to where and when it’ll all go down, here’s everything you need to know about the RLCS Winter Major LAN.<\/p>\n

Rocket League Winter Major dates<\/h2>\n

The Rocket League Championship Series Winter Major of the 2021-22 season will be held from 23rd to 27th March 2022 with only the 26th and 27th having fans in attendance.<\/p>\n
