Season 7 of Marvel Rivals is set to start on March 20, 2026, at around 9 AM UTC globally.

đź•’ Exact Season 7 start time

Most reliable sources and the official roadmap line up on:

  • Date: Friday, March 20, 2026
  • Global launch time: 9:00 AM UTC (this is the commonly cited start time)
  • Some regional breakdowns translate this to:
    • 4:00 AM ET / 3:00 AM CT / 3:00 AM PT (slight variation by source, but same UTC window)

There may be a short server downtime (about 2–3 hours) before the season actually becomes playable, so you might see the patch download first and then Season 7 go live shortly after that window.
