Rocket League might not make headlines weekly outside of esports, but it’s still an insanely popular game. Developer Psyonix is always upping their offerings for players with genre-defining collabs with everyone from the NFL to Rick and Morty. A new collab sees the return of Nike’s partnership and the car-soccer sports simulator for an event tie-in with the upcoming World Cup. Here’s everything you can expect to find coming to the game this week.

On November 17th, Psyonix and Nike will launch the Nike FC Cup Event in Rocket League. Running through December 6th, in-game challenges and rewards, as well as a new event and limited-time mode will come to the game and captivate players adjacent to the world’s greatest football players (soccer for our American readers) taking the global stage. 10 in-game Challenges will give players the chance to earn rewards including Country Player Banners and Country Decals.

In Fan Clash: Nike FC Cup, players will choose from 40 teams representing various nations, and earn points to push their country to the top of the online leaderboards. If you pick the winning country, then you’ll earn the title “Nike FC Cup MVP” to don in your loadouts in-game. If you choose one of the top 4 teams, you will receive the Nike FC 2022 Titanium White Goal Explosion at the end of the event on November 30.

Through December 6, fans can also visit the Item Shop for a slew of Nike items including The Nike Next Generation Pack and The Nike CR7 Pack, which includes a Decal inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo’s CR7 Mercurial Boot. Players will also want to check out the Nike FC Showdown LTM. This new Nike-themed limited-time mode will be available set on a new Nike-themed version of Champion’s Field. It is a 4v4 mode that gives players a more soccer-like feeling by replacing the standard ball with a Nike ball, making the max speed faster, and lowering the ball’s bounciness.
