Marvel Rivals season 7 countdown: Exact start time and date

Like clockwork, another season of Marvel Rivals is about to arrive, gracing us with even more fresh content to explore. More characters, events, skins, and so much more arrive soon, so you’ll want to know when you can dive in and explore.

New updates happen for Marvel Rivals fairly frequently, but it’s these big seasonal ones that are most exciting, as they bring the most new content to the game by far. If you can’t wait to see what the devs have cooked up this time around, here’s the exact time and date when season seven of Marvel Rivals begins.

When is Marvel Rivals season 7?

Season seven of Marvel Rivals officially arrives on March 20. The actual launch time of new seasons isn’t usually shared ahead of release, so this one likely won’t be either. Luckily, all big updates have typically gone live at the same time, which means there’s a reliable chance this one will, too. As long as everything stays on schedule as expected, season seven should debut at 5am CT/9am UTC.

Like past seasons, this one will be released for everyone across all platforms at the same time. We’ve set our countdown to the precise release time and translated it across major time zones so you can check back here leading up to the launch to see how much longer is left to wait. Marvel Rivals will also be down for around two to three hours for maintenance ahead of the start of the season.

How long is Marvel Rivals season 7?

Season seven of Marvel Rivals will be roughly one month long, as all seasons are. The last season was slightly longer than a month, ending on March 20 instead of March 15 as expected. Still, seasons are generally sticking to about a one-month-long duration, so season seven is expected to as well unless any big changes to this format are announced.

When it ends, season 7.5 will take over, making the entire season seven run technically last two months if you count them together. One new hero will debut in the first half, while the other will arrive with 7.5. Season 7.5 should arrive sometime around April 20, but we won’t get the official start date for it until later on.

Marvel Rivals season 7 features

Most of the exact features arriving in season seven haven’t been revealed yet, but will be in the days leading up to season seven’s arrival. There are some aspects that have been revealed, plus many features we see in every season, though, which means we do know a bit about what’s coming next. Here’s everything we know is arriving in season seven.

• Two new heroes, which are expected to be Black Cat and White Fox, based on a teaser posted to X (formerly Twitter) that reads “Stay tuned, Rivals, a master thief and secret agent, collide in New York for an impossible mission. Find out more as Season 7 approaches,” as well as the final gallery card of the season, which has a black cat and white fox wrapped around Deadpool’s legs.
• New villain leading the story, which is Kingpin. He’s not expected to be playable this season, but we can hope that seasonal villains will eventually be added as playable characters in the future.
• New battle pass.
• New map.
• Team-Up changes and additions.
• Hero buffs and nerfs.
• Possible new accessories.
• New skins.
• New events, including the Loki Avengers-themed event scheduled to debut in April.
