Marvel Rivals Season 5 will launch later this week (November 14), adding a brand new Hero into the mix, and refreshing Competitive Mode ranks and rewards. Given that the current season is still ongoing, we only really have a few solid details on what's next. We do however, have some teases as to what comes next.
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): 6AM ET
- West Coast (US): 3AM PT
- United Kingdom: 11AM GMT
- Australia (Sydney): 10PM AEST
- Japan (Tokyo): 8PM JST
When does the current season of Marvel Rivals end?
Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 will end on November 14 at 4AM ET / 3AM PT / 9AM GMT, 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.

Marvel Rivals is expected to add Rogue and Gambit as the next Heroes, with a couple of teases pointing to the X-Men heroes having dropped recently. The first was a hidden batch of character art for Rogue and Gambit (see below), showing a glimpse at what they'll look like in-game. Then, a post appeared on the official Marvel Rivals X account, with a wedding invite to the wedding of Gambit and Rogue.
