When Does the Next Marvel Rivals Season Start?
Season 10 kicks off on September 11, 2026, right after Season 9.5 wraps up, and will run through October 9. NetEase hasn't announced an exact launch hour, but based on every season this year, expect it to go live around 9:00 AM UTC, following a 2–3 hour maintenance window. Here's what that looks like around the world:
2 a.m. PDT for the west coast of North America
5 a.m. EDT for the east coast of North America
6 a.m. BRT for Brazil
10 a.m. BST for the U.K.
11 a.m. CEST for western Europe
6 p.m. JST for Japan
7 p.m. AEST for the east coast of Australia
The biggest addition is Gorr the God Butcher, who joins the roster as a Duelist and becomes the game's 54th playable hero. Unlike most seasons, Gorr will be the only new hero added this time around. NetEase has already confirmed this is a one-off change, with Season 11 expected to return to the usual two-hero schedule.
There's still plenty arriving alongside him. Season 10 introduces the Godbomb Battle Pass, the new God Quarry Domination map on September 24, Pajama Party costumes for Gorr, Cloak & Dagger, and Emma Frost, plus a Loki-focused event called The Tetrameron. Season 10.5 arrives on October 9 and won't introduce another hero. Instead, the mid-season update will add two Avengers-themed modes inspired by Infinity War and Endgame as part of the ongoing Path to Doomsday event.

Final Words
Marvel Rivals runs on a tight seasonal schedule, with each half-season lasting around 28-35 days. That doesn't leave much room for a slow start, especially after a rank reset pushes even top players back down the ladder.
Whatever season you're jumping into, the window to hit Gold and lock in the competitive skin is shorter than it looks. Check the table above for the current season's end date and plan your ranked grind accordingly.
