BLAST has announced that Midas France, a prominent automotive service network, will be the official car service partner for the Rocket League Championship Series (RLCS) French broadcast feed for the rest of the 2026 season.
Throughout the 2026 season, Midas will be featured prominently on the RLCS French broadcast feed, with branded segments, broadcast features, and digital activations aimed at engaging the French fanbase of Rocket League.
This partnership will be showcased during key events in the RLCS calendar, including the upcoming RLCS Major in Paris in May and the Rocket League World Championship later in the season, as well as the online EU qualifier on the French broadcast feed.
James Brown, Commercial Director at BLAST, commented:
“We are thrilled to welcome Midas France as the official partner of the RLCS French broadcast feed for the remainder of the season. France has become a vibrant and passionate market for Rocket League, and we are excited to have another iconic French partner on board with RLCS.
As we look forward to the RLCS Major in Paris this May, this partnership exemplifies how top French brands are engaging with Rocket League’s dedicated fanbase through our expanding esports platform.”
Ludovic Dugabelle, Marketing Director at Midas France, stated:
“This collaboration with RLCS aligns perfectly with our strategy to enhance Midas’s brand awareness among new audiences, especially the younger demographic. It also provides a fantastic opportunity to connect with these audiences in their familiar spaces. By partnering with a digital platform as influential as esports and Twitch, we are enhancing the brand’s visibility on rapidly growing channels. The world of Rocket League, revolving around cars and performance, naturally resonates with our expertise. Associating with a large-scale event, followed by such a dedicated community, fills us with pride. This partnership perfectly demonstrates our commitment to showcasing our expertise while innovating in our communications and investing in high-potential areas of exposure.”
France has emerged as one of the most enthusiastic communities for Rocket League, with a thriving French-language broadcast and fanbase that continues to expand each season. The Rocket League World Championship 2025 concluded in Lyon last September, drawing nearly 10,000 fans to the LDLC Arena and highlighting the country’s position as a global hub for elite Rocket League competition.
With the highly anticipated Major 2 in Paris set to take place this May, RLCS’s partnerships like the one with Midas underscore the increasing strength of Rocket League’s French fanbase and broadcast network.
