From the deepest depths of space… a new Arena emerges! Blast off at light speed into the Nebula Bay Arena, one of the many astronomical additions in Rocket League Sideswipe Season 20. Live now!
Also zooming into Sideswipe’s orbit is a refreshed Rocket Pass, which includes an (inter)stellar selection of new Stickers, Banners, and Avatars, as well as one of the most chaotic Ranked modes in the whole cosmos, 3v3! Your highest-earned rank across 3v3 and the standard Ranked modes will determine which rocket-fueled S20 Banners you’ll get at the beginning of next Season.
(Remember: you must have won a match at a rank to get that rank’s rewards!)
Additionally, there are asteroids of Challenges to blast during Season 20, themed around spring things like Valentine’s Day, the Spring Equinox, and April Fools’ Day. Complete them to unlock in-game rewards!
New Arena: Nebula Bay
Get ready for an out-of-this-world Arena! In between shooting for the stars, be sure to take a second to appreciate the beautiful night sky of Nebula Bay — which will act as the sole Arena for Ranked 2v2 and Casual 2v2 throughout Season 20.
You can also launch into this cosmic Arena in Party Match, Exhibition, and Free Play. It’ll be part of the Mutators Madness pool too.
3v3 Returns!
Grab an extra player for this extraterrestrial Season of Sideswipe! Returning for Season 20 is the Ranked 3v3 Mode, where two teams of three face off in a bigger Arena that’s built for such colossal competitions. But with all that added field space, teamwork is even more crucial. Work together to shoot the ball into the back of the net and drive away victorious.
Season 20 Rocket Pass
With 125 Tiers in total, Season 20’s Rocket Pass has a galaxy of goodies to unlock. As with last Season, these Tiers are divided into two groups: boost through the initial 50 Tiers to access the 75 Pro Tiers, where there are even more rewards!
This Rocket Pass has 14 new items across the regular Tiers, consisting of three Stickers, three Player Titles, four Banners, and four Avatars based on otherworldly oddities from across the cosmos.
Crack up your teammates with the Sunny Side Up Avatar and go barking mad for space travel with the Astro Doggo Sticker. Plus, look out for another furry fellow on the Asteroid Promenade Banner that’s sure to make you feel paw-some.

Notable Changes in Season 20
Selection Boxes and Economy Changes
From Season 20 onwards, Selection Boxes will replace Mystery Boxes and Presents! Selection Boxes contain the same predetermined assortment of in-game goodies you’d expect from a Mystery Box or Present, but with one key difference: you decide which reward you’d like to unlock every time you claim a Selection Box.
To maintain the balance of Sideswipe’s economy, we’re also making several improvements to the way SP is earned:
- SP rewards from the Rocket Pass have been doubled. You’ll now receive 2000 SP from each eligible Tier.
- Daily Challenges will now award 60% more SP.
- There will be an additional Weekly Challenge that awards 500 SP.
Bug Fixes
- Addressed a visual bug affecting the Mister Monsoon Goal Explosion.
A universe of Soccar goodness awaits in Rocket League Sideswipe Season 20. Check it out until the Season ends April 9, 2025 Pacific Time!
