To get a High Five in Rocket League, one player must score and then bump a teammate in midair above the crossbar shortly after the goal goes in. The scorer does not get the High Five; the teammate who collides with them does.

Quick Scoop

The easiest setup is to play with a friend, have one player score, and have the other prejump so you can meet in the air above goal height. Community tips also say to go for it on every goal, because timing is very tight and the hit has to happen right after the score.

How it works

  • One player scores the goal.
  • The other player must be airborne.
  • The collision has to happen above the crossbar.
  • It must happen quickly after the goal, during the brief post-goal window.

Easier ways to get one

  • Queue with a friend so you can coordinate.
  • Use casual matches or private matches to practice the timing.
  • Prejump from the wall or from near midfield when your teammate is about to score.
  • Aim to meet above the goal instead of trying to bump on the wall.

Common mistakes

  • Hitting the scorer while both cars are still on the ground.
  • Colliding too low, below crossbar height.
  • Waiting too long after the goal.
  • Trying to do it solo in random matches without coordination.

Tiny example

If your teammate has an open net, you can drive up and jump as they shoot, then try to meet their car just above the goal as the ball goes in. That is the kind of timing that usually counts as a High Five.

Bottom note

A lot of recent Rocket League community videos from February 2026 were made around challenge rewards that required a High Five, which is why the topic has been trending again.
