Marvel Rivals released its Season 2.5 update in late May, introducing Ultron, the game’s first flying Strategist hero. This mid-season patch, which included new Team-Up abilities, hero balancing improvements, and the vivid Combat Chest reward track, kept players engaged on the battlefield. However, now it’s time for something new.
As Season 2.5 approaches its end, excitement for Season 3 is building. Here’s when the new Marvel Rivals season comes out and what you can expect.

It’s important to note that Season 3 won’t begin right away due to downtime. Due to this, the start time of the season will likely be 11 AM UTC, as we expect the downtime to last two hours. Thanks to a recent leak, we also know the size of the next Marvel Rivals update, which is slightly above a gigabyte.
