Season 6 of Marvel Rivals officially launches on January 16, 2026, at 9 AM UTC. It will run from January 16 until around March 20, 2026. Like previous seasons, it will be split into two parts. Each half is treated almost like its own mini-season, with balance changes and new content arriving in both phases. Here’s when it releases in various time zones:

1 AM PT (Los Angeles) on January 16
2 AM MT (Denver) on January 16
3 AM CT (Chicago) on January 16
4 AM ET (NYC) on January 16
9 AM GMT (London) on January 16
5 PM CST (Beijing) on January 16
6 PM JST (Tokyo) on January 16
10 PM NZDT (Auckland) on January 16

Deadpool will be available immediately when Season 6 goes live on January 16. He is the launch hero for the season, meaning you won’t have to wait for a mid-season update to try him out. As soon as the servers are up, you’ll be able to take him into matches.

Marvel Rivals Season 6 Details

Unlike any hero before him, Deadpool is the Marvel Rivals’ first-ever triple-role character, meaning he can be played as a Duelist, Strategist, or Vanguard. Players choose his role, and his entire kit adapts based on that choice.

Season 6 also brings a brand-new Convoy map, the Museum of Contemplation. Outside of combat, players can enjoy a new Photo Mode for capturing stylized in-game shots, as well as The Clobbering Club, a duel arena in Times Square, where matches can be broadcast to the social hub.

A bunch of new accessories themed around Marvel characters is also arriving. Alongside new Team-Ups and buffs, Season 6 sets the stage for the future, with the devs at NetEase teasing a brand-new PvE mode coming in early 2026.
