What Are Matchmaking Bans in Rocket League?

Matchmaking Bans encourage players to stay in their matches. Players get a Matchmaking Ban when they leave a Competitive or Casual match early without forfeiting, or for being idle.

Competitive Playlists

If a player leaves a Competitive match, they will be given a warning. The 5-minute ban will apply automatically if they do not rejoin.

The system has 7 ban levels. The first ban is 5 minutes long. Leaving a match within the next 12 hours will result in another ban. Bans will get longer for each match left.

First - 5 Minutes
Second - 10 Minutes
Third - 20 Minutes
Fourth - 40 Minutes
Fifth - 1 hour
Sixth - 2 hours
Seventh or more - 24 Hours

Got disconnected? No worries! Rocket League will re-invite you back into the match once your internet connection is back up.

Casual Playlists

If a player leaves a Casual match, they will be given a warning. You’ll be able to quit a Casual match once per day without receiving a Matchmaking Ban. Leaving another match within the next 12 hours will result in a 5-minute ban.

The system has 7 ban levels. Bans will get longer for each match left.
