Step-by-Step Fix

Check Epic / Psyonix Status

Visit status.epicgames.com for current Epic Games infrastructure status, which Rocket League runs on.

Restart the Epic Games Launcher

Close the Epic Games Launcher from the system tray and relaunch. Sign out and back in if needed.

Check your NAT type

Rocket League needs Open NAT for online play. A Strict NAT causes matchmaking failures. Enable UPnP on your router.

Use a wired connection

Ethernet dramatically reduces ping and packet loss in Rocket League, making the car feel more responsive and preventing disconnects.

Verify game files

Epic Games Launcher: Rocket League → three dots → Manage → Verify. This repairs any corrupted install files.

Clear console cache

PS5: Settings → Storage → Console Storage → System Data. Xbox: hold power button 10 seconds to fully power off.

Is it a server outage?

Check the live report chart — if dozens of players are submitting, it's on Psyonix / Epic Games's end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Rocket League down right now?

GamerOutage.com shows live player-reported issues for Rocket League. If the status indicator shows degraded or outage, other players are experiencing the same problem.

Why can't I find a match in Rocket League?

Matchmaking failures usually mean Epic's servers are overloaded or experiencing an outage. Check the live chart on this page — if reports are high, wait for Epic to resolve the issue.

How do I fix Rocket League "Unable to connect to server"?

Try: restart the Epic launcher, check your NAT type is Open, switch to a wired connection, and verify game files. If the error persists and our report count is high, it's Epic's servers.

Why does Rocket League say "Your network is blocking communication"?

This error means your router's NAT type is too restrictive. Enable UPnP in your router settings or manually forward UDP ports 7000–9000. After changing router settings, restart Rocket League.

Why am I getting bad ping in Rocket League ranked?

Rocket League uses region-based servers but doesn't let you manually select one in ranked. High ping usually means you were matched on a distant server due to queue times. Playing during peak hours in your region typically results in better server selection.

Still lagging? Upgrade your router.

A dedicated gaming router reduces ping and prevents disconnects.
