I think it’s fair to say that NetEase Games dropped the ball ever so slightly with Marvel Rivals Season 10, as the mid-season break did little to win fans over thanks to the lack of a new monthly hero and underwhelming balance updates. Thankfully, Season 11 is just around the corner, and it’s shaping up to be a big one.
We’ll be returning to two new heroes joining the roster, as well as the usual slew of cosmetics and events to sink our teeth into. Sure, the Doomsday events may have come to a close, but most fans will be happy to see the back of them in favor of new regular content.
So, without further ado, here’s when you can expect to dive into Marvel Rivals Season 11, including exact start times for the new Season.
When Does Marvel Rivals Season 11 Come Out?
As was revealed in the Season 10.5 Roadmap, Season 11 of Marvel Rivals is set to begin on Friday, November 13.
It’s probably common knowledge by now, but expect Season 11 to be either four or five weeks long and feature a brand-new character joining the roster, as well as another to be teased for later down the line.
After that, we’ll have Season 11.5, which should see us into the new year and beyond. With no more Path to Doomsday events lined up, it’ll be interesting to see if Marvel Rivals has any more long-term events planned for the game—only time will tell.
Marvel Rivals Season 11 Exact Start Times
Judging by previous Marvel Rivals seasons as a guideline, expect Season 11 to begin on November 13, 2026, at 3 AM PT.
This one is bound to bring in a lot of hype, especially when compared to the lacklustre mid-season split of Season 10.5. With a new character, meta changes, and events to consume, it should be a nice return to form.
If you want to be there the moment Season 11 goes live, here’s when the update is due across the world:

Who Are The New Heroes For Season 11?
Judging by the final Gallery Card of Season 10.5, it seems like Nightcrawler will be the new hero joining the Marvel Rivals roster in Season 11.
The final Gallery Card for every Marvel Rivals Season has always teased the arrival of a new hero, and they’ve never been wrong. Well, if that trend is to remain true, all clues point towards the fan-favorite mutant, Nightcrawler, as the new addition, thanks to the sword Moon-Girl is holding.
Nightcrawler was originally leaked to have been arriving in Season 10 alongside Gorr the God Butcher, but NetEase had to make some last-minute adjustments to finish work on the Path to Doomsday events. So, odds are he got pushed back to Season 11, but who else could be joining him?
Well, that part is far less obvious. Many have long theorised Doctor Doom’s arrival, and with Avengers: Doomsday arriving in cinemas mid-December, it’d fit in well with the potential start of Season 11.5. However, other theories point towards Dracula finally being a playable character, thanks to the bat calling card seen above, as well as the notorious Spider-Man villain, Green Goblin.
Should more become clear or confirmed, I’ll update the article with more concrete information, but until then, expect Nightcrawler, and keep theorizing on who his companion for Season 11 could be.
