There are two major collaborations featured, as well as a whole lot more from Psyonix's competitive car chaos.
Below, we have everything you need to know before you jump into Season 3.
LATEST - Release Day!
Rocket League Season 3 is here. The new season kicked off at 11:00 EST / 16:00 BST on April 7th and is bringing a lot of great content.
If you're looking to jump into the new season as soon as you can, there's an update you can download right now which has everything you need for next season.
You can check out the Patch Notes for that below:

Ahead of Season 3, Rocket League shared new details on the next iteration of the Rocket Pass.

As always, there are 70 Tiers of rewards for players to unlock and then a selection of painted items to earn if you go beyond that.
Despite it seeming like there's a "racing" theme for this Rocket Pass, there are still novelty items like a Jester Hat Topper and Roskilde Wheels up for grabs in the Rocket Pass.
F1 & NASCAR Aren't Coming Yet
Rocket League Season 3 is starting, but you should know not to expect the F1 Fan Pack and NASCAR collaborations to appear on Day One.

Despite them both being pushed heavily in the marketing for the new season, they're not actually integral to the Rocket Pass or Season 3 content.
Rather, both of them will be coming in May 2021 as opposed to at the start of Season 3 on April 7th.

You can see them in cinematic action in the tweet below:
Trade-In Button
Season 3 will bring a Trade-In button to the garage, making it much easier to navigate.
"In the new Trade In menu, you'll see your tradable inventory organized into three categories: Core Items, Tournament Items, and Blueprints. Your items in each of these categories are organized by rarity. This new menu displays how many Trade Ins you have available, making it much easier to trade your items in quickly and efficiently.
Simply select the rarity of the item you would like to receive from the Trade In. Then, you can select your items and trade them in for an item of higher rarity. You can repeat this same process for your items earned from Competitive Tournaments, as well as Blueprints."
Season 3 Trailer
