Marvel Rivals Season 11 release date: NetEase hasn't announced it, and we expect Friday, Nov. 13
NetEase Games hasn't announced the release date for Marvel Rivals Season 11 as of Oct. 18, 2026. Expected date: Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, at 9 a.m. UTC, which is 4 a.m. ET and 1 a.m. PT. That's our estimate, based on NetEase's schedule in 2026: every season since Season 6 has started on a Friday at 9 a.m. UTC, eight or nine weeks after the one before, and Season 10 began on Sept. 11, with Season 10.5 four weeks later, on Oct. 9. The earliest likely date is Friday, Nov. 6, when Season 10.5's Twitch drops end, but Season 10.5's Avengers: Infinity War mode runs until Dec. 11, which lines up with a Season 11.5 update four weeks after Nov. 13. NetEase has confirmed that Season 11 is the last stop for 2026 Championship Points in its Marvel Rivals Championship.

Marvel Rivals is in Season 10.5, and Season 11 is next. Here’s when we expect it, how long seasons have lasted and what the current season added.
When does Marvel Rivals Season 11 come out?
NetEase hasn’t announced it. As of Oct. 18, 2026, its patch notes and announcements don’t give a Season 11 date or say when Season 10 ends.
Expected date: Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, at 9 a.m. UTC, or 4 a.m. ET. That’s our estimate, not an official date. The earliest likely date is Friday, Nov. 6, a week sooner, when Season 10.5’s Twitch drops end. NetEase usually posts a Dev Vision video and the patch notes a day or two before a new season.
How long Marvel Rivals seasons last
Each season in 2026 has started on a Friday at 9 a.m. UTC, with about two hours of maintenance. Season 6 began on Jan. 16, Season 7 on March 20, Season 8 on May 15, Season 9 on July 10 and Season 10 on Sept. 11, so each one has lasted eight or nine weeks.
The half seasons always came four weeks in, and Season 10.5 arrived on Oct. 9. Nine weeks after Sept. 11 is Nov. 13, and Season 10.5’s Avengers: Infinity War mode runs until Dec. 11, four weeks after that, which is when a Season 11.5 update would land. Season 5 started on Nov. 14, 2025, nearly the same date a year earlier.
What’s in Marvel Rivals Season 10.5
Season 10.5 brought the Avengers: Infinity War mode, part of Path to Doomsday, where 12 players form six duo squads and fight over the Infinity Stones, and the first squad to collect all six wins. It runs from Oct. 9 to Dec. 11, 2026.
The Infinity Finale event, until Dec. 10, gives Thor’s The Avengers costume for free, and the Alchemax Headquarters map joined the 18 vs. 18 mode. The Skele-Saurus and Vampire King bundles are on sale until Nov. 6, and Twitch drops with the Angela Will of Galacta costume run until the same day. NetEase also patches the game most Thursdays, most recently on Oct. 15.
What came in Season 10
Season 10, called Butcher’s Blasphemy, launched on Sept. 11, 2026, with Gorr the God Butcher as its new villain. It also reworked Scarlet Witch and added The Godbomb battle pass with 10 sets of costumes, including Captain America’s Astral Aegis and Loki’s The Chronicler, along with The Tetrameron story event.
Before that, Season 9 added Jubilee as a new hero on July 10, along with a rebuilt Team-Up system and a Black Widow rework.
Season 11 and the Marvel Rivals Championship
NetEase says Season 11 is the last stop for 2026 Championship Points in the Marvel Rivals Championship. After the 2026 competitive year, the best teams from the Season 11 tournament and the top of the Championship Points leaderboard are invited to the Ignite Series 2026 annual qualifier.
