Drop Rush is Rocket League’s limited-time rewards event running through December and beyond. The primary action kicks off during the RLCS Kick-Off Studio LAN from December 5 at 7 AM PT through December 7 at 6 PM PT. Players can earn free cosmetics by watching Rocket League streams on Twitch or by completing actions on TikTok.
Epic Games partnered with both platforms to bring hundreds of rewards to the community. The event celebrates the launch of Rocket League’s competitive season while giving players access to in-demand cosmetics typically locked behind paid items. This is part of the broader Winter Drops Fest 2025 across multiple games.

Twitch and TikTok Drop Rewards Comparison
| Platform | Event Duration | Key Reward |
| Twitch | Dec 5-7 (3 days) | Nemesis Car Body |
| TikTok | Dec 5 – Jan 5 (31 days) | Ninja Wheels |
| Twitch (Post-Opening) | Dec 10 – Jan 5 | Rival Wheels |
TikTok Drops: In-App Codes and Extended Rewards
TikTok offers a different reward path for Rocket League fans. From December 5 at 7 AM PT through January 5 at 12 AM PT, players receive in-app codes by completing actions like watching gameplay. Redeeming TikTok codes in Rocket League unlocks exclusive cosmetics including Ninja Wheels, LFT Topper, Dune Racer Decal, and Picture This Wheels.
Extended TikTok rewards include watching 3 cumulative minutes for Big Splash Goal Explosion, Aero Mage Wheels, and Ballistic Goal Explosion. Reaching 15 cumulative minutes unlocks Big Splash Goal Explosion (Black) and Apex Wheels (Titanium White). The extended window gives players more time than the Twitch event to collect rewards.
What Happens After Drop Rush Ends on December 7?
While the RLCS Kick-Off Studio LAN drops conclude on December 7 at 6 PM PT, Drop Rush continues with new opportunities through January 5, 2026. Starting December 10 at 9 AM PT, a second wave of Twitch drops launches featuring the Rival Wheels and other cosmetics from the next Rocket League season.
Creator Drops also begin when the new season launches, with Rocket League content creators on Twitch and YouTube sharing exclusive codes. Players redeeming these creator codes unlock items ranging from Sport Drops to Black Market Drops. This extended drop period ensures players have multiple ways to build their cosmetic collections throughout the holiday season and into the new year.
