The BBC has recently increased its efforts to broadcast more top-tier esports coverage through BBC Sport and BBC iPlayer, diving into League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Rocket League.
Its latest esports commitment will see the latter receive even more coverage from the broadcasting giant, as action from the European division of the Rocket League Championship Series X will now be shown on BBC Sport. According to a press release, this weekend's RLCS X Winter Split EU action will be available on BBC Sport streaming services, and that there are plans to also show next weekend's action too.
With the tail end of 2020 acting as something of a trial period for esports coverage on the BBC, it seems as if it is happy with the returns and will continue adding more esports competitions as 2021 rolls on. With Rocket League often dubbed as the perfect entry-level esport for new viewers, the BBC's decision to pick up more car-football action is not surprising.
