What is the Highest Rank & MMR in Rocket League?

With so many tiers that you can barely shake a stick at it, the Rocket League ranking system can be a complicated one to navigate. From Grand Champion to Bronze I, these competitive matches are more than just a fan little pass time for many players. Seeking those higher ranks, establishing yourself on the rank distribution, and beating that average rank is something highly regarded in the community. The crown jewel, though, is the highest rank in Rocket League, the one with the highest Matchmaking Rank and the lowest number of successful Rocket League players, the one rank to kill them all. Let’s dive in…

What is the Highest Rank in Rocket League?

Supersonic Legend is the highest of all the Rocket League ranks, and requires the highest MMR level in the game. To become a Supersonic Legend, to reach this crazy rank in Rocket League, you not only need to have a firm grasp of how competitive matches work and how to play a good Rocket League game, but you need to intricately understand the game like very few others do.

It probably goes without saying that, out of all the Rocket League ranks that you can work towards, achieving the title of Supersonic Legend is a truly incredible feat. It’s more impressive than Grand Champion, the previous best rank before they reformed the ranking system, and it’s one that even some of the best competitive Rocket League players can only dream of achieving. That’s how coveted the highest Rocket League rank, Supersonic Legend, is. It’s the one ring, if we’re going to continue with that allusion from before.

The highest MMR ever achieved in Rocket League was from ol’ mate M0nkeyM00n, who scored 2360 MMR points in Season 13 (doubles). This is followed by oKaliD, who picked up 2352 MMR points in Season 1 (doubles) and Alpha54 who scored 2320 MMR in Season 9. Similarly to Bronze I, where you can achieve MMR ranks well into the negatives, the sky's the limit for Supersonic Legend players. It is literally only limited by the length of each competitive season.
