Esports organisation Team Vitality has announced a new fan zone called “The Place to Bee” for the upcoming Rocket League Championship Series 2026 Paris Major.

The RLCS 2026 Paris Major is a premier international live esports tournament running from May 20 to May 24, 2026. The event is organised by Epic Games and BLAST and it features 16 of the world’s best Rocket League teams to compete for a $354,000 USD prize pool.

The fan zone will run from May 22 to 24 during the public playoff stage of the tournament at Paris La Défense Arena near Paris. During these three days, the community can enjoy special activities, exciting moments, and unique experiences in a fanzone created together by Team Vitality and its partners, including Groupe Crédit Agricole, Philips Lighting, E.Leclerc, The Magnum Ice Cream Company and BLACKLYTE.

For example, fans may discover interactive gaming zones by Philips Lighting, take part in challenges and giveaways with E.Leclerc, enjoy treats from The Magnum Ice Cream Company, or experience premium gaming setups created with BLACKLYTE.

In a post shared on LinkedIn, Team Vitality said, “Beyond the competition, the club’s ambition is to transform major esports events into memorable memories: by bringing fans closer to the teams they support while allowing brands to create authentic connections with a new generation of passionate and engaged audiences.”

This is not the first time Team Vitality has organised fan experiences in live esports events. During the RLCS World Championship in Lyon in 2025, the organisation hosted the “Fan Zone Vitality x Evnia” near the venue, where fans gathered to watch and celebrate the tournament together. The team also had a dedicated booth inside the Royal Arena during the 2024 Copenhagen Major for fan meet-and-greets with players.
