How to Create a Rocket League LFG Discord Server (Step-by-Step)

1. Create the server

In Discord, click the + (Add a Server) button at the bottom of the server list.
Choose Create My Own, then For a club or community.
Name it so people searching for Rocket League find it — for example "Rocket League LFG" plus your region or language — and upload an icon.
Open Server Settings → Enable Community. This unlocks Onboarding, a rules screen and announcement channels, which the next steps use.

2. Set up Rocket League channels

Create a category for each group below. Voice channels get a user limit that matches a real Rocket League party size, so lobbies don't overfill.

Start Here

#rules	Rules and post format: playlist, rank, platform.
#announcements	Tournaments and server news.

LFG

#doubles-2v2	Finding a 2v2 Doubles partner.
#standard-3v3	3v3 Standard trios.
#extra-modes	Rumble and Hoops partners.

Community

#training-packs

Training pack codes and mechanics help.

Voice

Doubles	Two-player duo. User limit: 2
Standard	Three-player trio. User limit: 3

3. Create rank and role roles

Create one role per Rocket League rank tier (Server Settings → Roles). One role per tier is enough — per-division roles make the list too long to scan.

Playlist roles

Let members pick their own roles in Server Settings → Onboarding: add one question per role group so new members choose when they join. Onboarding needs at least 7 default channels, 5 of which @everyone can post in — the layout above covers that once you add a general chat channel or two.

4. Permissions and moderation

Make #rules and #announcements read-only for @everyone (deny Send Messages).
Turn on slowmode (30–60 seconds) in LFG channels so posts don't get buried.
Open Server Settings → Safety Setup: set the verification level to at least Medium, and under AutoMod block spam, mention spam and harmful links.
Create a Moderator role with Manage Messages and Timeout Members, and give it to a few trusted regulars.

Item trading and scam trades are common in Rocket League communities. Either ban trading or confine it to one channel with strict rules, and block known trading-site links with AutoMod.

5. Add Matchmaker so your server isn't empty

The hardest part of a new LFG server is that nobody is online to play with yet. Matchmaker fixes that: it connects your server to one shared queue with Rocket League players from every other server using the bot.

Add Matchmaker to your server — it's free.
Members run /joingame and pick Rocket League, a mode and their rank. Supported modes: Competitive.
When a match forms, every player gets a ready-check DM to accept or decline.
Once everyone accepts, a private voice channel is created automatically for the lobby.
