Following the Nations League stage, the top 16 teams will advance to the Continental Championship, where nations will compete for qualification into the FIFAe Rocket League World Cup Finals. The final event will feature top teams from Europe, North and Central America, South America, Asia and Oceania, and Africa competing for the 2026 FIFAe Rocket League World Championship title.
