The road to the inaugural RLCS Club Championship 2027 is officially underway, with BLAST confirming the schedule for four regional Club Kick-Off Opens. Featuring some of the best Rocket League organisations and emerging competitors, these online tournaments will determine which four teams secure qualification for the main Kick-Off event in London.
The regional competitions will take place across Europe (EU), North America (NA), South America (SAM), and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) throughout November 2026. Each tournament featured 16 teams competing for a coveted qualification spot in the first-ever RLCS Club Championship Kick-Off.
