How to Fix Rocket League
Connection Issues

If Rocket Leaguewon't connect or keeps timing out, follow these steps in order. First, check the live status page to confirm whether it's a server-side outage or a local issue.

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.
