To exit a match in Rivals on a private server, open the in-game menu and look for the Leave or Exit Match option. If you’re trying to leave the match but stay in the server, use the private-server lobby controls or match settings first, then leave from the match screen rather than disconnecting from the server entirely.

Quick Scoop

  • In private servers, players often use the server’s own queue or match controls to stop a match without leaving the whole server.
  • On mobile, the leave option is typically shown as a large red Leave button, while on PC it may be under the menu key or pause menu.
  • Some videos discuss “leaving match without leaving server,” but those are often glitch-based and can be unreliable.

What to try

  1. Press the menu key or open the pause/in-game menu.
  2. Select Leave , Exit , or a similarly named option.
  3. If you’re in a private server lobby, check the pads/screens for queue settings like queue alone or related match controls before starting a new round.
  1. If the match won’t end normally, rejoin the private server or reset your queue settings instead of relying on a glitch.

Important note

Some online posts frame this as a “glitch” to escape a match while keeping progress, but that can be unstable and may not work consistently. A safer approach is using the built-in leave option or private-server controls, since those are the methods documented by players discussing solo/private play.

TL;DR: Open the match menu and choose Leave/Exit ; if you’re in a private server, use the server’s queue controls so you can stop the match without leaving the server.
