What is the highest competitive rank introduced in the free-to-play update?

Supersonic Legend is the highest competitive rank introduced in Rocket League’s free-to-play update. It was added at the top of the ranked ladder when the game transitioned to free-to-play on September 23, 2020.

The rank sits above Grand Champion, which had previously been the highest competitive tier. The updated ladder grouped players into ranks including Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Champion, Grand Champion, and finally Supersonic Legend. Each major rank is divided into numbered divisions, creating a more detailed way to track progress.

Supersonic Legend is reserved for the very strongest players and is separate from the game’s casual progression systems or cosmetic rewards. Reaching it depends on competitive matchmaking performance, not on account age, Rocket Pass level, or the number of items a player owns.

A common mix-up is treating Grand Champion as the current highest rank. Grand Champion remains an important elite tier, but it is no longer the summit of Rocket League’s competitive ranking system. “Superstar” and “Rocket Grandmaster” are not official Rocket League ranks.
