Rocket League Season 5 release time - countdown to blast off

We're within touching distance of the new Rocket League season, so much so that Psyonix has finally lifted the lid on what fans can expect in this space-themed episode. The Rocket League Season 5 release date is set for November 16 or November 17 depending on where in the world you live, so you'll need to get your space suit sorted for then.


But when does Rocket League Season 5 start? Well, it's now been confirmed that the Rocket League Season 5 release time is 4pm PST / 7pm EST on November 16 and midnight GMT on November 17. The patch is usually released the day before, so keep your eyes peeled on your launcher if you want to get a good start on the Rocket League ranks.


Once the new patch is live, you'll have a whole host of content to enjoy. Featuring a new space-themed arena called Starbase Arc, new player anthems from Grimes, new Rocket League cars, and a whole new battle pass to clear, there's plenty to dig into.

The countdown for launch has begun! Get ready to blast off into Season 5 in Rocket League on November 17. Reach all-new heights in this latest season featuring a new Arena variant, Competitive Season, Rocket Pass, and more!

Starbase Arc has been INVADED! An evil force has taken control of the classic Arena, and has turned it into a new, dark soccar pitch known as Starbase Arc (Aftermath). Catch a glimpse of the new Arena in the trailer above, featuring a reimagined version of the song "Player Of Games" made for Season 5 by GRIMES! Be sure to check out the song when it releases later this month, and look out for Starbase Arc (Aftermath) once Season 5 begins on November 17.

Prior to the invasion, Starbase Arc was guarded by the watchful protector known as Nexus. This cadet was captured and transformed into a master of Rocket League. Unlock Nexus immediately with the Season 5 Rocket Pass Premium, and start tiering up to unlock its final transformation: Nexus SC.

The Season 5 Rocket Pass is packed full of otherworldly items like the Spacedirt Paint Finish, Hyperspace Animated Decal that transform with your cars speed, and a new Goal Explosion that is ready to fully take over: Cosmosis. Stay tuned for our full Rocket Pass trailer on November 16 where you'll see all these items and more in their intergalactic glory.

The day after Season 5 begins, be on the lookout for an LTM with a new twist on Heatseeker thanks to three new Labs Arenas: Barricade, Colossus, and Hourglass. Get ready for Heatseeker Ricochet, featuring Heatseeker action on these new maps that will change up the gameplay. Think fast starting November 18th.

Get ready for a game update that will complete all the calculations for launch day on November 16 at 4 p.m. PST (12 a.m. UTC November 17) (pending first party certification).
