We have finally reached the summit. If you have been grinding your way through the highest echelons of Rocket League’s competitive tournaments, you have unlocked access to the ultimate prize pool: The Champions Cup (also referred to by some in the community as the Chromatic Cup).
Costing a massive 20,000 Tournament Credits per cup, it requires an incredible amount of time, skill, and saving to open. But does the staggering price tag justify the rewards?
What is the Champions Cup?
The Champions Cup is the final tier of tournament rewards. It is the most exclusive cup in the game, and unlocking it requires immense skill—you must win a Grand Champion or Supersonic Legend Tournament to gain access.
At 20,000 credits per pull, it is an enormous investment. However, it boasts a unique feature that sets it apart from every other cup in the game: every single item you receive is guaranteed to be painted. Just like the All-Star Cup, it also completely removes Uncommons and Rares from the prize pool.
Champions Cup Drop Chances: The Stats
Because the item pool is restricted to Very Rare, Import, Exotic, and Black Market items, and because everything is guaranteed to be painted, the Champions Cup provides the highest possible chance to land top-tier, colorful cosmetics.
Based on community data gathered from dedicated players pooling their high-tier cup openings, here are the estimated drop rates you can expect:
| Rarity | % Drop Chance | 95% Confidence Interval | % Chance Within 60k Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | 0.00% | ± 0.00% | 0.000% |
| Rare | 0.00% | ± 0.00% | 0.000% |
| Very Rare | 37.50% | ± 7.70% | 75.586% |
| Import | 28.95% | ± 7.21% | 64.129% |
| Exotic | 27.63% | ± 7.11% | 62.099% |
| Black Market | 5.92% | ± 3.75% | 16.732% |
| Total Opened | 152 |
With roughly a 13.7% chance of landing a Black Market item and a whopping 35% chance of an Exotic—all guaranteed to drop with a painted variant—this cup is an absolute powerhouse for building a flashy inventory.
The Verdict: The Ultimate Flex
If you are skilled enough to unlock the Champions Cup, there is virtually no reason to spend your credits anywhere else, unless you are desperately trying to quickly farm trade-up fodder. The 100% painted guarantee makes this cup the undisputed king of tournament rewards.
