Hey folks! Starting right now, a new US Central server region is live in Rocket League! We know this has been a longtime ask from North American players, and we’re excited to bring the new region online.

Servers for Online Matches: Servers in US Central are located in Illinois, Iowa, and Texas. With the new region online, Illinois and Texas servers originally located in US East are now part of US Central. To check out the new server region, open the Casual or Competitive Cards in the Play Menu, select Regions, and choose US Central on the list.

Tournament Servers: With the new region coming online, the location of Tournament servers is not changing – US Tournament servers will continue to be hosted in Illinois, Iowa, and Texas as they’ve always been.

You can ensure you're seeing the correct Tournament schedule by going to Settings > Gameplay > Tournament Schedule Region. From there, players in North America should select US East, US Central, or US West to see the Tournament schedule best for them. After choosing one of the three US regions, the region listed on the Tournament Details page should appear as “US-Central.”

Thanks everyone, and let us know what you think of the new region once you have a chance to check it out!

This doesn't affect a lot of players in EU, but we know some across the pond like to play with friends in the US in the US-East region. This should help with connection latency as we're taking the servers farthest away from EU out of US-East, and dropping them into Central (meaning Illinois and Texas servers).

If I'm in Ohio should I play central or stay on east servers?

Try both! I bet you'll have a great experience in US-Central, though.
