Marvel Rivals Season 5 will launch next month (November 14), adding a brand new Hero into the mix, and refreshing Competitive Mode ranks and rewards. Given that the current season is just starting up, we only really have a few solid details on what's next. Unfortunately, this doesn't include who the new Hero is.
Marvel Rivals is now in Season 4.5, and NetEase has shared the full roadmap for the new update. Looks like we can look forward to skins for Psylocke, Spider-Man, and Storm in the future. For info on what's set to be added in the next update as it happens, visit our Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 live blog.
Here's everything you need to know about the next season of Marvel Rivals, including when the current one ends, and what to expect from the new Hero that's being added. As release day draws nearer, I'll update this page with all of the latest news and info.
When is the next season of Marvel Rivals?
Marvel Rivals Season 5 will launch following downtime that's planned for November 14, 2025. This is according to the in-game Battle Pass end date. It's possible that this may move somewhat, though in the past it's been accurate. Generally, downtime lasts two hours, so I predict the next season to launch around the times below:
- East Coast (US): 7AM ET
- West Coast (US): 4AM PT
- United Kingdom: 12AM BST
- Australia (Sydney): 9PM AEST
- Japan (Tokyo): 8PM JST
When does the current season of Marvel Rivals end?
Marvel Rivals Season 4 will end on November 14 at 5AM EDT / 2AM PDT / 10AM BST, for a few hours of downtime before the launch of the new season. Keep an eye on the official Marvel Rivals website for any changes.
