The latest Rocket League season is almost here, with Season 6 bringing an animated theme to the new Rocket Pass. Here’s everything you need to know, including its start date and time, the new Rocket Pass, Arena, and vehicles.

Rocket League’s fast-paced vehicular soccer has continued to be one of the world’s most popular games. With cross-play across almost every platform available, Epic Games’ penchant for crossovers with the biggest IPs out there, and casual and competitive modes, Rocket League has something for everyone.

Not long after bringing the Batmobile to the game, Psyonix have revealed what they have in store for the next major content drop, Season 6. This brings a new Rocket Pass, Arena, and vehicles, so here’s everything we know so far.

When does Rocket League Season 6 start?

Rocket League’s devs have revealed that the Season 6 Rocket Pass will be “animation-themed,” bringing the brand-new Nomad van alongside the new Neo Tokyo (Comic) Variant Arena.

The Nomad will have the same hitbox as the Merc, and will come with “road trip stickers on the Well Traveled Decal.”

There will also be new cosmetics based around the Nomster from the trailer, with him showing up in new Wheels, a Goal Explosion, and “a new Antenna that somehow devours the grille of the Nomad.”

Rocket League players have been desperate to paint the Fennec pure black, and their dreams will become a reality in Season 6.

The Black Fennec will arrive in the Item Shop during Season 6, and the devs said that “This instant classic will pair perfectly with your favorite Esports Decals and Titanium White Wheels.”

They also said the Item Shop will receive “new Starter and Standard Bundles packed full of classic items like the Jäger 619, Toon-Hydro Trail, Toon Goal Explosion (Titanium White).”


That’s all we know about Rocket League Season 6 so far! Be sure to check back before the update goes live, as the devs should be releasing the full patch notes.
