Dust off your finest fits; it’s time for another Hellfire Gala in Marvel Rivals. The annual event is back in full swing, bringing with it a fresh wave of stylish cosmetics, though not every hero has made the guest list this year.
This time around, players can grab new Gala-themed looks for Moon Knight and Phoenix, while Emma Frost steals the spotlight with a free Gala Glam skin after winning the 2025 Community Vote. Now, the spotlight shifts once again, as voting for next year’s free cosmetic is officially open, and you’ll need to act fast if you want your favourite hero to take the crown.
If you’re wondering how to cast your vote in the 2026 Hellfire Gala event and which characters are in the running, Insider Gaming has broken everything down for you below.
Who Can You Vote For During The Hellfire Gala?
There are five characters that you can vote for this year, with a mutant-exclusive roster on the cards, though only one of them can be crowned the winner.
Here’s the full voting list for the Marvel Rivals Hellfire Gala:
- Rogue
- Psylocke
- Storm
- Namor
- Magneto
It’s a varied list that does admittedly omit any Support characters—sorry to the healers out there. However, it’s still a solid line-up of choices, with five fairly popular characters to pick from.

However, you’ll notice three crowns on some of the cards: these depict who is currently winning the vote. As you’ll see in the image above, Rogue seems to be leading the vote at the time of writing, but if you want to sway it in another direction (or pile onto the Rogue-train), you’ll want to know how to vote yourself.
How To Vote During The Hellfire Gala
It’s simple to vote for who you want to see receive a free Hellfire Gala skin next year, as it’s all done in-game, but it’s slightly tucked away that it’s easy to miss.
Here’s how to vote during the Hellfire Gala in Marvel Rivals:
- Once you’ve loaded up Marvel Rivals, head on over to the Events tab.
- Select the Hellfire Gala Event.
- Look to the right of the screen, and select the Honorary Chair box.
- You’ll now see the five heroes up for vote. Simply select which one you want to vote for, and it’s all done.
Now you know the route to take, be ready to do it often, as you can vote more than once. In fact, you can vote daily during the event, so you can either distribute your votes to your favourites, or go all in on one character and play your part in earning them the free skin.
