Blacklyte named sponsor of RLCS 2026 Boston Major

Blacklyte has been announced as the exclusive desk and chair sponsor of the RLCS 2026: Boston Major, the latest commercial partner to join Rocket League’s premier competitive circuit.

According to a release, the partnership will feature Blacklyte’s furniture prominently onstage throughout the event, which takes place from February 19th–22nd at the Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts.

Fans attending the major will be able to spot the company’s Athena Pro Gaming Chair RLCS Edition alongside the Atlas Lite Desk during the tournament’s main stage matches. Blacklyte, an entertainment and gaming furniture brand, will also host an on-site booth where attendees can test its chairs and desks.

The release noted that exclusive discounts will be available to visitors at the booth. Viewers watching remotely will also see Blacklyte’s products integrated into the broadcast via the event’s official online stream.

The RLCS 2026: Boston Major features 16 professional Rocket League teams competing for a $345,000 (~£250,570) prize pool and circuit points. As Esports Insider recently reported in its RLCS Boston Major preview, the event marks Rocket League’s return to Boston and represents the first international major of the 2026 season.

Furniture and peripheral partnerships have become a consistent component of esports events, with organisers increasingly integrating branded hardware directly into stage design and broadcast presentation. Deals of this nature provide manufacturers with high-visibility placements, while tournament operators secure additional commercial support.

Blacklyte joins a growing list of brands activating within the Rocket League ecosystem, as publishers and event organisers continue to expand the title’s sponsorship portfolio. For the RLCS, partnerships tied to live events remain a key revenue stream, particularly as arena-based competitions continue to draw both in-person audiences and substantial livestream viewership.
