The theatrical exhibitor will broadcast the esports tournament across 50 US locations.
AMC Theatres announced on September 8 that it will host an exclusive live broadcast of the 2026 Rocket League World Championship Finals. The cinema chain plans to stream the esports tournament across 50 locations throughout the United States on Sunday, September 20.
The competition will stream live from Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Teams will compete for a share of a $1.2 million prize pool. The live broadcast is expected to run for approximately eight hours, concluding with the crowning of the 2026 champions.
Tickets are currently on sale through the cinema chain's website and mobile application. Attendees will receive a commemorative ticket featuring codes to redeem in-game cosmetics and drops typically earned by watching on Twitch.
Such a big part of the magic of movie theatres is their ability to bring people together for unforgettable shared experiences, and a live event like the Rocket League World Championship is a great example of that.
The company operates as the largest theatrical exhibitor globally, with approximately 850 theatres and 9,600 screens across the world, including leading market footprints in the United States and Europe.
