Rocket League Season 24 Exact Start Date & Times
The headline new mode for Season 24 is Honor Duel, a competitive format built around the new Honor Duels system. The mode comes with its own Rocket Rivalry events featuring eight of the game's biggest community creators: Forky, Tenacity, Firewall154, Almost, ApparentlyJack, JZR, Twisty, and Crnovy. These rivalry events tie directly into the Honor Duel system, so there's more reason than usual to actually engage with the mode rather than treat it as a side distraction.
Two LTEs launch on September 23 alongside the main update:
A third mode, the Persona 5 LTE, arrives two days later on September 25. That short gap matters because the Persona 5 content brings its own challenge reward track, and you'll want to know exactly when the clock starts.

Beyond the modes and the crossover, Season 24 brings several quality-of-life and feature updates:
The control scheme update is worth paying attention to if you've been playing on default settings for a long time. New input options can meaningfully change how certain mechanics feel, and Season 24 is a good time to experiment before new ranked habits form.
Three LTEs at launch, a creator-driven rivalry system, a Persona 5 crossover with nine distinct rewards, and genuine feature updates to scoreboards and controls make Season 24 one of the more substantial updates in recent memory. The Honor Duel mode in particular has the kind of structural support (creator rivalries, a dedicated challenge track) that tends to keep players engaged past the first week.
