The Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) has renewed its partnership with car insurance company Progressive Insurance for the 2026 season.

As a result of the renewal, Progressive will continue its role as the official presenting partner of Rocket League‘s esports circuit.

The collaboration between the two parties will see Progressive Insurance secure additional broadcasting rights throughout the 2026 season, in addition to an increase in on-screen graphic integrations and a stronger presence across the English broadcast.

Progressive Insurance and the RLCS will also join forces to create new co-branded content, including pieces led by content creators and stories focusing on the wider Rocket League community.

“Progressive has become an important and valued sponsor within RLCS, and we’re delighted to be extending our collaboration into 2026,” said James Brown, Commercial Director at BLAST. “Their continued investment, commitment to fan engagement, and willingness to innovate across broadcast, social and live events has made this a standout experience.”

The RLCS and Progressive Insurance first partnered in September 2024 for the Rocket League World Championship, where the latter began its tenure as a presenting sponsor of the circuit. For 2026, the car insurance company joins Epic Games Store in RLCS’ partnership portfolio.

Rocket League in 2026

Rocket League’s esports scene is in full swing, with teams from across the world competing in online open tournaments to qualify for the first Major of the season taking place in Boston, Massachusetts, from February 19th to 22nd.

In December 2025, Karmine Corp won the RLCS Kick-Off Weekend, kicking off the season with a 4-0 sweep over Shopify Rebellion in the Grand Final. As a result of the victory, the French organisation has become the first team to earn a place at the Boston Major, while also earning Europe an additional regional slot at the Boston Major, the Paris Major, and the World Championship.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
