Rocket League announces Birmingham RLCS 2025 Major
Rocket League Twitter noted that the first RLCS Major of 2025 will feature a live audience on March 29th and 30th. Pre-sale tickets will be available on October 28th via The Ticket Factory with General Admission Tickets beginning October 30th. How many tickets will be distributed for the event have not been revealed.
The RLCS has become somewhat of a regular fixture in the UK event calendar recently, having hosted two Majors in London in recent memory — one in 2022 and another in 2024.
Whilst this is the first that the RLCS has taken place in Birmingham, it is not the first esports event to take place outside of England’s capital city. Earlier in 2024, Birmingham hosted Dota 2 ESL One event. In May, a Rainbow Six Major also took place in Manchester.
Alongside announcing its first Major for the 2025 calendar, RLCS unveiled that its second Major will occur in June 2025 with the Rocket League World Championship rounding out the season in September. Locations for the two other LAN events have yet to be revealed.
The news of RLCS calendar follows on from unveiling a new format for the 2025 season. This included increasing the prize pool to $5m, the introduction of one-versus-one competition and expanding the amount of teams for the World Championship to 20 teams.
According to Psyonix, the road to the first RLCS 2025 Major in Birmingham will begin on January 3rd.
