Rocket League launches Monthly Cash Cups totalling $390,000 in 2025

Rocket League and esports platform Start.gg have launched a series of monthly cups from April until December 2025 that provide players with more opportunities to win real money.

The Rocket League Monthly Cash Cups will take place at the start of each month and feature prize money totalling $390,000 (~£294,514).

The monthly tournaments will take place on Start.gg, with all players eligible to compete. According to the platform, competitions will take place for the following regions: Asia-Pacific, Europe, MENA, North America, Oceania, South America and Sub-Saharan Africa. The prize pool for each event will vary from region to region.

In addition, Epic Games says the cups will feature different game modes within the car football title, including one-versus-one, two-versus-two and Rocket League’s basketball-inspired Hoops mode.

To determine seeding for each competition, the average rank of each team when registration closes will be used to place them in a double-elimination bracket.
