On Sunday 27 September 2026, the BFBS Pro League Grand Final lands at the Museum for its biggest event yet, bringing together Rocket League, esports, gaming, technology and the UK Armed Forces community for a unique day in London.
Eight teams from the UK Armed Forces community will battle it out in Rocket League after months of online qualification, competing for the BFBS Pro League title at one of London’s most distinctive venues.
And while the main competitive arena is reserved for invited guests and accredited media, Museum visitors can still get involved in plenty of the action.
A huge day for UK Armed Forces esports
The BFBS Pro League has quickly become a major part of the UK’s military esports scene.
Its first season attracted more than 700 players, and Season Two has grown further with Rocket League, F1 25 and League of Legends forming part of the competition. The season culminates with Rocket League taking centre stage at the Grand Final in London.
BFBS describes the Pro League as a competitive space bringing together serving personnel, veterans, reservists, MOD civil servants, cadets, members of the bereaved community and eligible family members.
It’s gaming, competition and Defence community spirit rolled into one.
And for Rocket League fans, there’s plenty to get excited about. With its combination of rapid rotations, aerial plays, split-second saves and spectacular goals, 3v3 Rocket League is made for high-pressure tournament play.
What can you experience at RAF Museum London?
There’s much more happening than the tournament itself.
Visitors to the Museum will be able to enjoy a range of activities throughout the day, including:
- BFBS Esports activities
- Grand Final coverage in the RAF Theatre
- Augmented-reality esports experiences including HADO
- Gaming and simulator experiences with the Royal Air Force Air Cadets
- Royal Navy STEM activities
- Live performances from the British Army Rifles Band and cadet bands
It’s an unusual combination: historic aircraft, cutting-edge gaming, augmented reality, military technology and live entertainment all under one roof.
