Rocket League Season 24: Honor Duels, Run It Up LTE and Rocket Pass Cars
|
| Author Games & Culture
Rocket League Season 24 went live on September 23, 2026 at 9 AM PT, and its headline addition is the Honor Duel, a 1v1 you can throw at any player in your match. The duel only starts once the current match ends. The season’s main limited time event, Run It Up, is the only one still scheduled to be running: it ends on December 9.

What is new in Season 24
| Feature | How it works |
|---|---|
| Honor Duel | Challenge another player from your match to a 1v1. If they accept, both of you drop into a duel in the same mode once the current match ends, and the other players can spectate from a Social Menu notification. |
| Black Market Trade-In | Trade three duplicate Black Market items for one you do not own yet, either a new item or a painted version. |
| MVP podium | The match MVP’s equipped goal explosion plays on the end screen, with its name shown. |
| Custom scoreboard | Pick four stats per mode to sit next to the score. Shots, Saves and Assists can be swapped for Demos, High Fives, Flip Resets and other in-game events. |
| Top 100 Titles | Finishing in the top 100 of the 3v3, 2v2 or 1v1 Soccar leaderboards earns a Title by placement, from “S24 3V3 TOP 100” for spots 100 to 51 up to the number one spot. Titles are granted at the end of the season. |
| Keyboard and mouse | A Free Look camera, also available to controller players, plus modernized key bindings that are the default for new keyboard and mouse players. An optional center dot reticle supports the new camera. |
Limited time events and their dates
| Event | Dates (2026) | What it offers |
|---|---|---|
| Run It Up | September 23 to December 9 | 14 challenges that reward Nova Collection drops (Ronin GXT car body, Laser-Light goal explosion, Neural Network decal, InfoSec boost, Fissure trail and more), plus Sport to Import tier drops and two Titles that count your Season 24 wins and MVPs |
| Bullet Ball | September 23 to October 6 | Last car standing: a homing ball targets one player and demolishes them on impact unless they act |
| Persona 5 | September 25 to October 12 | Challenge rewards including the Trickstar (P5R) wheels, Morgana’s Token boost trail and a Joker topper, with a Mona Car bundle in the Shop |
Bullet Ball has three answers to the ball: dodge forward to parry it onto a new target, backflip at the exact moment of impact to freeze it, or hold grab while dodging to seize an opponent and make them the next target. Patch 2.76 also lets free-for-all modes, Bullet Ball and Knockout included, be picked in Private Matches and Exhibition, so the mode outlives its event.
Rocket League has published nothing new on Steam since September 22, which is why no later events appear here.
Rocket Pass and Shop
The Season 24 Rocket Pass adds three car bodies: the Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 50 with the Octane hitbox, the Dominus GT 76 with the Dominus hitbox, and the Pareto 5S with the Breakout hitbox. Tier rewards include Forewarned holographic wheels, the Synapse boost, the Vextor decal, the Treadsparks trail and the Anipop goal explosion. A two-part goal explosion arrived in the Shop on September 26: your first goal plays the standard version and a second one detonates the final form.
Creators hand out redeemable codes on YouTube and Twitch all season, each worth a drop between Sport and Black Market tier. Rocket Rivalry runs eight creators, and every point you earn for the one you back, including Honor Duel wins, pushes them up a board that ends in a showmatch in London. Older events work differently, as our page on the 2023 Drive Days event shows.
Patch 2.76 fixes worth knowing
| Platform or area | Fix |
|---|---|
| PC | Alt-tabbing during a transition no longer leaves the client frozen on the previous frame; the SMAA anti-aliasing option now smooths jagged edges as intended |
| PlayStation 5 | The front end is no longer invisible after booting into the game from rest mode |
| Consoles | A boot crash when a cooked package was missing is fixed |
| Graphics | Big boost pickups no longer flicker on the High quality setting |
| Training Packs | Cars no longer spawn into the ground in mirrored packs |
| Stats API | The GoalScored event now triggers in replays, and a match that ends in no contest reports -1 as the winning team |
The patch also adds a Boost Pad Recharge Rate mutator for Private Matches.
Checked on November 14, 2026 against the Rocket League Steam announcements of September 18 and September 22. The end date of Season 24 itself is not stated in either post.
