Marvel Rivals maintenance for Season 10.5 starts on October 9, 2026, at 09:00 UTC. NetEase expects it to last about 2 hours, so servers should be back around 11:00 UTC. That works out to 2 AM to 4 AM PT, 5 AM to 7 AM ET, 10 AM to 12 PM BST and 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM IST.

Why can’t I log in to Marvel Rivals on October 9?
From 09:00 UTC, the servers are offline for the Season 10.5 update. Logins fail during this window on every account. After maintenance ends, restart the game client and download the update. If you still cannot connect after 11:00 UTC, check the official Marvel Rivals X account for an extension.
Does Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 add a new hero?
