Ranked in Rematch, Sloclap's football game, has seven leagues: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master and, at the top, Elite. Every league below Elite has three divisions (3, 2, 1). You climb with Ranked Points (RP), and since Patch 5 you can drop out of a league again.

This guide covers every rank in order, how to unlock Ranked in Season 6, how RP, promotion series and demotion shields work, and what happens at the season reset. Accurate as of October 23, 2026, based on Sloclap's patch notes and dev blogs.

All Rematch ranks in order

Bronze is the lowest league, Elite the highest. Within a league, Division 3 is the entry point and Division 1 is the last step before promotion.

02 Silver 3
01 Bronze 3

Rank	Divisions
Bronze	3
Silver	3

Platinum	3
Diamond	3
Master	3
Elite	–

The Master league between Diamond and Elite was added after launch, which is why older guides from the June 2025 launch list only six leagues. Sloclap already mentions "Master players" in its July 2025 dev update.

Elite: the open top league

Sources disagree on whether Elite is split into divisions: PC Gamer listed Elite 3 to 1 at launch. According to the Season 1 patch notes, the RP gauge stays full in Elite whether you win or lose, and public leaderboards just show "Elite". So at the very top, the leaderboard decides who is best, not another rank.

How to unlock Ranked (Season 6)

With Season 6 (patch 1.206.000, October 23, 2026), Sloclap replaced the old Player Level with contracts. There are ten: Baller, Rookie, Amateur, Semi-pro, Wonder, Pro, Star, Champion, Hero and Icon.

Ranked matches unlock with the Amateur contract, the third one.
You level a contract by playing online matches. Once it hits max level, press "Upgrade contract".
If you had Player Level 5 or higher in the old system, you're automatically placed in the Amateur contract and can play Ranked right away.

Before Season 6 the rule was: reach Player Level 5, then Ranked unlocks. Many older guides still mention this.

Placement matches

According to PC Gamer, you get your first rank after five placement matches. From then on it's all about RP.

5v5 and 3v3

Ranked is available in classic 5v5. Season 1 (September 2025) added 3v3 Ranked. You can queue with friends of any rank; Sloclap made that decision on purpose.

RP, divisions and promotion series

Each division takes 100 RP. According to PC Gamer a win is worth around 20 RP, and a loss costs roughly the same. Here's how climbing works:

Division to division (e.g. Gold 3 to Gold 2): instant once you fill 100 RP.
League to league (e.g. Gold 1 to Platinum 3): you play a three-game promotion series. Two wins get you into the new league.
If you lose the series, you stay in your league and build RP up again for another attempt.

Dynamic Ranking: your hidden MMR counts too

Rematch uses a hidden skill rating (MMR, calculated with OpenSkill) for matchmaking. According to Sloclap, your visible rank is also a progression system. Since Patch 5 (October 2025), Dynamic Ranking slightly adjusts your RP after every match:

If your MMR is above the average for your rank, you gain more RP per win and lose less per loss.
If it's below, you gain less RP per win.
Your opponents' ranks don't affect this adjustment.

At first the adjustment was capped at 3 points per match. In Season 4 (June 2026), Sloclap widened the bounds from −2 to +3 to −3 to +6. The further your rank is from your estimated level, the faster you move towards it.

Demotion: how the shields work

Until Patch 5 you couldn't fall out of a league. Since October 2025 there are league demotions with two shields:

If you hit 0 RP in Division 3, you enter "Risk of Demotion" and lose your first shield.
Every further loss at 0 RP costs a shield. You have two shields.
Once both are gone, you're on "Last Chance". Your next loss drops you to the league below.
A win takes you out of danger, gives you the normal RP and restores one shield.

Moving up and down between divisions within a league works as usual.

Season reset and rewards

Ranked resets every season. Since Season 4, Sloclap bases the reset on your skill rating instead of your previous rank, so your placement matches your actual level sooner.

End-of-season Ranked rewards so far started at Platinum: shirts in Season 0, matching shorts in Season 1. You get the item for your highest rank reached plus every rank below it down to Platinum. Check the game for what Season 6 offers.

Tips for climbing

Keep your win rate steady. With Dynamic Ranking, a good MMR pulls your RP up over time.
Before a promotion series, don't keep playing when you're tired. You need two out of three.
At 0 RP, a single win matters a lot: it brings back a shield.
Play with friends and talk on voice chat. From Season 6, Push-to-Talk is the default (controller: D-pad down, keyboard: "4"), plus new Quick Chat calls like "Unmarked!" and "Get Back!".
Higher-ranked friend in your group? You can play together; matchmaking balances the teams using MMR.
