[h2]Football as It’s Meant to Be[/h2]

The world's most popular sport has returned! With Bundesliga celebrating its 60th anniversary on August 24, we’re unleashing the passion and spirit of German football into Rocket League. Fans can support their favorite teams with Fennec Decals, the Bundesliga Mega Bundle, or the league’s famous hymn as an in-game Player Anthem.

Bundesliga hits the pitch from August 9 to 23!

[h2]Bundesliga Ballin’[/h2]
As Germany's top professional football league, Bundesliga draws massive crowds and entertains millions of fans. Now, you can rep your favorite team from the pitch to the Arena with Bundesliga Item Bundles! First up, the Bundesliga Decal Bundle offers Fennec Decals for six different clubs. These custom decals were designed to display each team’s colors proudly.

If you really want to bring home the glory, grab the Bundesliga Mega Bundle! You’ll get all of the Fennec Decals plus a whole lot more. Bundesliga Team Player Banners let you show off your team spirit no matter which preset you have equipped. The Bundesliga Match Ball Wheels replace your treads with a stitched football pattern resembling the design of the official match ball of the 23/24 Bundesliga season.

For one final flourish, players can get the Bundesliga Hymn Player Anthem and call forth a stadium-wide orchestral score with every goal. Is there anything more beautiful?

The cars of Rocket League can boost, jump, and fly, but now they can dance! With the new Bumblebee Car, players can watch their ride stand up and celebrate on the Post-Game Spotlight screen. Alongside the car, the Transformers Bundle comes with everything you need to claim victory over the Decepticon threat.

The Transformers Bundle rolls out June 14 - 27!



Whether you’re racing through the streets of Cybertron or hitting redirects in the Arena, the Bumblebee Car is your new best friend. This first-of-its-kind Rocket League car features a little secret hidden under its yellow and black striped hood! After you win a match, the car converts into Bumblebee’s robot mode before jumping into a random celebration animation. Oh, and watch out—there’s a rare animation that can only happen when you win MVP.

The Transformers Bundle comes with the Bumblebee Car and so much more. Join the Transformers with two themed Player Titles, an animated Blueprint Bumblebee Player Banner, and a roaring Engine Audio that would put Grimlock to shame!

Looking for more of an 80’s vibe? Tune in to the “Transformers Theme” Player Anthem! Pairing this with the Optimus Prime Goal Explosion is the perfect way to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons once and for all.
