- Starts 13 Nov 2026
- 10 placements, start −3
- Heroes and costumes stay
- S11 roster news: not yet
Season 10.5 has under two weeks to run. On 13 November 2026 Marvel Rivals moves to Season 11, and because it's a full season, not a half, every Competitive rank goes back into placements. This page collects what is known on 2 November 2026: the date and what NetEase hasn't announced yet, what the reset does to your rank, what you keep, the Season 10.5 reward to grab before the switch, and every season so far. NetEase hasn't published a Season 11 page yet; we update this guide when the patch notes land.
- 13 November 2026: Season 10.5 ends and Season 11 begins.
- Your final 10.5 rank minus three divisions is where your Season 11 placements start.
- Collect the 10.5 Gold costume first (Jeff the Land Shark, Razor-Tooth): ten ranked games in the half and Gold or higher.
- Only full seasons reset. The x.5 halves have never touched your rank since February 2025.
- Season 11's new content is unannounced. Leaked names aren't confirmed.
When Season 11 starts, and when Season 10.5 ends
NetEase's official Season 10.5 roadmap puts Season 11 on 13 November 2026, as Beebom reported on 7 October; RivalsMeta's season timer also shows Season 10.5 ending on 13 November. There is no Season 11 page on marvelrivals.com yet: the latest update when we checked was the patch of 28 October 2026 (Version 20261029).
The start time isn't announced. Recent seasons went live after a maintenance window, and NetEase's Season 5, 7, 8 and 9 notes each gave 09:00 UTC as the moment the update began. If Season 11 follows that pattern, 09:00 UTC on 13 November is:
| Where | Local time on 13 November (if 09:00 UTC) |
|---|---|
| London (GMT) | 09:00 |
| Paris, Berlin (CET) | 10:00 |
| New York (EST) | 04:00 |
| Los Angeles (PST) | 01:00 |
| Tokyo (JST) | 18:00 |
An assumption from past seasons, not an announcement. Daylight saving has ended in Europe and North America by 13 November.
The notes come first. NetEase posts a balance post and patch notes a few days before each season. For Season 10 the balance post came on 8 September and the patch notes on 9 September, two days before the 11 September start; for Season 10.5 both arrived on 6 October, three days before 9 October. Expect Season 11's in the days just before 13 November.
What resets: your rank and ten placements
Since Season 5 a full season doesn't knock a fixed number of divisions off. It sends everyone into ten placement matches. The game predicts your start three divisions below your final rank of the season before, matches you there, and lets the ten games decide. Your final Season 10.5 rank is what counts, so where you stand on 13 November matters more than your peak.
| Final rank in Season 10.5 | Season 11 placements start at |
|---|---|
 Gold I |  Silver I |
 Platinum III | Gold III |
 Diamond I | Platinum I |
 Grandmaster I | Diamond I |
 Celestial II or higher, including  Eternity and  One Above All | Grandmaster II |
| Bronze III to Silver III |  Bronze III |
| Never played ten ranked matches in a season | Silver III |
From there, a 5-5 record lands close to the prediction, you can finish at most one or two divisions above your Season 10.5 rank and never above Celestial I, and since Season 7 your own performance adds or removes up to 100 points at the end. Skip placements and you get no season rewards. Every rank, the party limits and the 90-second leaver rule are in our placement matches guide.
These are the rules NetEase set in Season 5 and refined in Season 7. Season 11's notes could change them, so check them before your first game.
What you keep
A new season resets one thing: your Competitive rank. Everything else on your account carries over:
- Heroes and costumes, including Gold-rank costumes from past halves.
- Account level and hero proficiency. You won't need to reach level 15 again.
- Your cross-platform character. NetEase's cross-progression Q&A says collections and paid content live on one linked character; your rank was always kept per platform anyway (PC, PlayStation and Xbox separately).
- Quick Match and the event modes, which have no ranks to reset.
Rewards to collect before the switch
Season 10.5 has its own Gold-rank reward, and the deadline is the end of the half on 13 November:
Jeff the Land Shark
- The rule: "complete 10 ranked matches in that season's half and finish at Gold rank or higher at the end of the half-season". The costume checks your rank when the half ends, not your peak, so a late slide below Gold costs it.
- Crests of Honor and nameplate frames for the higher tiers are granted once per season, at the season's end: for Season 10 that's when 10.5 finishes.
- Placements matter here too. NetEase gives no season rewards to anyone who didn't finish all ten placement matches.
The full list of rewards by rank, and every Gold costume so far, is in our ranked rewards guide.
What we know about Season 11 content
Very little is official yet. NetEase hasn't revealed who joins the roster in Season 11 or what else the season brings, and the names circulating online come from leaks, not from NetEase. We'll add the details when NetEase posts the trailer and patch notes.
The pattern of 2026 shows what a season start usually brings. A new hero arrived at every season and half-season start this year until Season 10.5, which added none:
| 2026 | Season | New hero |
|---|---|---|
| 16 Jan | 6 |  Deadpool |
| 13 Feb | 6.5 |  Elsa Bloodstone |
| 20 Mar | 7 |  White Fox |
| 17 Apr | 7.5 |  Black Cat |
| 15 May | 8 |  Devil Dinosaur |
| 12 Jun | 8.5 |  Cyclops |
| 10 Jul | 9 |  Jubilee |
| 7 Aug | 9.5 |  The Hood |
| 11 Sep | 10 |  Gorr the God Butcher |
| 9 Oct | 10.5 | none |
| 13 Nov | 11 | not announced |
Every season also brings a balance post. Season 10.5's (6 October) trimmed Devil Dinosaur's health from
850 to 825 and toned down Gorr the God Butcher and 
Gambit, three of Season 10's
most-banned heroes. Expect Season 11's to reshuffle bans and picks again; our
hero bans guide covers how bans work.
Every season so far
After the launch season (Season 0), the first two seasons ran about three months each. Since Season 3 a full season has come every eight to nine weeks, with the x.5 half about four weeks in. These are the full-season starts from NetEase's patch notes:
| Season | Started | Rank at the start | Also new |
|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 10 Jan 2025 | −7 divisions | Celestial tier added |
| Season 2 | 11 Apr 2025 | −9 divisions | Level 15 to unlock; bans from Gold III |
| Season 3 | 11 Jul 2025 | −7 divisions | Platinum and Diamond nameplate rewards |
| Season 4 | 12 Sep 2025 | −7 divisions | PlayStation 4 version released |
| Season 5 | 14 Nov 2025 | 10 placements from −3 | Placements replace the flat reset; Celestial+ solo or duo |
| Season 6 | 16 Jan 2026 | 10 placements | Deadpool joins in all three roles |
| Season 7 | 20 Mar 2026 | 10 placements | Three bans per team; ±100 placement performance |
| Season 8 | 15 May 2026 | 10 placements | Devil Dinosaur joins |
| Season 9 | 10 Jul 2026 | 10 placements | Team-up system rebuilt; Jubilee joins |
| Season 10 | 11 Sep 2026 | 10 placements | Butcher's Blasphemy: Gorr joins; ban vote |
| Season 11 | 13 Nov 2026 (roadmap) | 10 placements | Not announced yet |
The second halves (x.5) began on 21 February 2025 (1.5), 12 December 2025 (5.5), 13 February 2026 (6.5), 17 April 2026 (7.5), 12 June 2026 (8.5), 7 August 2026 (9.5) and 9 October 2026 (10.5), and none of them reset ranks. The 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 dates aren't listed because we haven't re-checked them against NetEase's notes for this page.
How the rank reset has changed since launch
The reset Season 11 brings is the gentlest Marvel Rivals has had. Until Season 4 a season start was a flat cut: seven divisions in Season 1, nine in Season 2, then seven again in Seasons 3 and 4. A four-division cut planned for the Season 1.5 half was announced in February 2025 and withdrawn the next day ("there will be no rank reset"), and no half-season has reset ranks since.
Season 5 (November 2025) swapped the flat cut for placements, and Season 7 (March 2026) added the performance adjustment of up to
100 points. Compare the two systems for a player who ends a season in Diamond I:
| System | Where they start | Where they can end up |
|---|---|---|
| Season 4 flat reset (−7) | Gold II | Climb back in normal games |
| Placements since Season 5 (−3, then ten games) | Platinum I | As high as Grandmaster II, plus or minus up to 100 points |
Getting ready: a pre-season checklist
- Lock in your Season 10.5 finish.
Your final rank sets your Season 11 start: three divisions below it, Grandmaster II at most.
- Get the Gold costume.
Ten ranked matches in Season 10.5 and Gold or higher when it ends.
- Plan your placement party.
Three players at most, under three divisions apart, solo or duo from Celestial up.
- Keep the evening free.
Leaving a placement match more than 90 seconds before the end means a loss and a ranked suspension.
- Read the Season 11 notes.
They usually land a few days before the season. Look for Competitive and placement changes and the new balance numbers.
If you want help either side of the switch, our services are priced from the same engine as checkout. A boost before 13 November
raises the rank your placements start from: Diamond I to Grandmaster III, one division, moves your Season 11
start from Platinum I to Diamond III and costs $14.53 today. After the switch,
placement games are priced by your last rank:
ten after a Diamond III finish are $45.00.
