Marvel Rivals events - all current and upcoming events

What are the current and upcoming Marvel Rivals events? There is an entire multiverse worth of story going on in Marvel Rivals, with everything happening everywhere all at once; stopping Spider Zero from pushing the cart is only good enough until the next round starts, and we know that those screaming goats will be back, win or lose. Luckily, there are story events that have a fixed start and end point, and even better, they come with a ton of rewards.

Now in Season 2.5 of the multiplayer game, there are some spicy Marvel Rivals events for you to enjoy, boasting exclusive rewards for your favorite Marvel Rivals characters, and even cash prizes depending on whether your competitive cogs are turning.

The current Marvel Rivals events are:

• Combat Chest
• Cerebro Database II
• Marvel Rivals Championship S2: Hellfire Gala
• Flower of Krakoa (Battle Pass)
• Pick-Up Bundle
• Galacta's Gift

Combat Chest

Duration: May 30, 2025 – July 11, 2025

If battle passes are a bit too unwieldy for you and you want a quicker cosmetic hit, then the new Combat Chest system may be more up your alley. For 690 Lattice, you'll be able to unlock the premium rewards, which culminate in a rather slick-looking Magneto skin that looks like something out of Doom Eternal. If you're free-to-play, there's still a super sweet Mr. Fantastic skin in it for you.

Cerebro Database II

Duration: May 30, 2025 – June 27, 2025

Everyone's favorite 3×3 grid bingo event is back, with more missions to complete and goodies to earn. This time around, there's a zesty Hawkeye Binary Arrow skin in it for you, so get to it.

Marvel Rivals Championship S2: Hellfire Gala

Duration: May 10, 2025 – July 7, 2025

To qualify for the third MRC split, you have to reach a minimum rank of Platinum III (up from Gold III in S1) and be part of a faction with six or more members. MRC S2 consists of an open and closed qualifier, before moving onto a double-elimination knockout stage. The top 16 teams draw from a $11,900 prize pool, with the top team taking home $6,000.

Even if you don't claim glory in MRC S2, you will at least get your mitts on the rather delightful MRC Mighty Hero spray.

Flower of Krakoa (Battle Pass)

Duration: April 11, 2025 – July 11, 2025

The Flower of Krakoa battle pass promises glitz and glamor galore, as the denizens of the multiverse doll themselves up for the Hellfire Gala. But you won't only find dressed-up versions of Luna Snow and Cloak & Dagger in here, as the Japanese-themed Spider-Oni – an instant inductee into our best Marvel Rivals skins list – and X-Uniform-clad Psylocke and Magik also feature. The latter is giving massive My Hero Academia All Might vibes, and we're so here for it.

Pick-up Bundle

Duration: Permanent

If you have a few bucks to spare, the Pick-up Bundle is a solid investment. While the Hyper Orange Venom skin won't give you your daily dose of Vitamin C, the included Costume Coin is the juicier component.

Galacta's Gift

Duration: Permanent

We all love free stuff, and Galacta's Gift is a permanent event that coughs up Doom-themed goods, Chrono Shield cards, and even a Costume Coin you can use to redeem from a pool of solid skins.

The Hellfire Gala is in full swing, and the Moments event for Season 2 is a three-act event that yields the suave and sophisticated Wolverine Patch skin upon completion. In Act 1, complete missions to reach milestones. In Act 2, collect X-Coins and draw gifts from the Hellfire Trading Company. Finally, close out the Gala by voting for your Gala star.

Cerebro Database

Duration: April 11, 2025 – May 9, 2025

It's bingo time, compadres, as the Cerebro Database event has you completing missions to form lines in a 3×3 grid. Should you get a full house of all four event sections, a swanky Flora Maiden Mantis skin is in it for you.

Play Matches, Earn Rewards

Duration: April 11, 2025 – April 25, 2025

Probably the easiest free Epic skin you'll ever earn in Marvel Rivals, the Play Matches, Earn Rewards event requires you to play just nine games to snag yourself the Chaos Gown Scarlet Witch skin. Pure chaos guaranteed.

Darkhold (Battle Pass)

The Darkhold Battle Pass ran from January 10, 2025, until April 11, 2025.

Marvel Rivals' first full-length battle pass brought with it some suitably Castlevanian cosmetics for some of the multiverse's finest. In return for offering your blood, sweat, tears, and more blood, you were able to pick up some pretty slick skins for the likes of Loki, Scarlet Witch, and Wolverine.'

Galacta's Cosmic Adventure

Galacta's Cosmic Adventure ran from March 7, 2025, until April 11, 2025.

Galacta returned with a brand new game for us to play. By racking up Power Cosmic from event missions – most of which revolved around the LTM mode Clone Rumble – you could roll the dice and advance around the board, hoovering up rewards, including a yeehaw-coded Black Widow skin.

Marvel Rivals Championship Season 1: Eternal Night Falls

Season 1 of the MRC ran from January 16, 2025, to April 7, 2025.

To qualify for the second MRC split, you had to reach a minimum rank of Gold III (up from Silver III in S0) and be part of a faction with six or more members. MRC S1 consisted of an open and closed qualifier, before it moved onto a double-elimination knockout stage. The top 16 teams drew from a $11,900 prize pool, with the top team taking home $6,000.

Midnight Features II

The Midnight Features II event ran from February 21, 2025, to  March 21, 2025.

Midnight Features returned for a second round, and the chapter-based event was more of what we already experienced with its predecessor. This time, you snagged a free Groot skin when you finished the collection.

Fortune & Colors

The Fortune & Colors event ran from January 23, 2025, to February 14, 2025.

Lunar New Year celebrations were in full flow, and the Fortune & Colors event had you earn paint from the limited-time game mode, Clash of Dancing Lions (a Lucioball-like), that could subsequently be used to complete the illustration.

Showing off your sporting prowess yielded currency, cosmetics, and a fur-ocious new Star-Lord skin. Or is it Star-Lion?

Midnight Features

The first Midnight Features event ran from January 10, 2025, to February 7, 2025.

With a Draculean invasion on our hands, business is booming for the Daily Bugle. Midnight Features Part One followed the same format as Season 0's Entangled Moments in that you had to clear chapter-based missions, with new chapters opening up every couple of days.

In return for your efforts, you were rewarded with currency, Gallery Cards, and even a fresh new Thor skin.

Winter Celebration

The Winter Celebration event ran until Thursday, January 5, 2025. During the event, you could take part in a special Splatoon-esque game mode called 'Jeff's Winter Splash Festival.' This had teams of Jeffs battling to decorate the Rivals maps with their colored spray – chaos ensued.

You could also pick up new costumes for Groot, Magik, Rocket, Venom, and Jeff himself. Best of all, Jeff's could be earned by gathering Golden Frost from missions and decorating the tree on your Winter Celebration Card, so it didn't cost you a penny. His lil snowsuit features on our list of the best Marvel Rival skins, so we were festively feasting.

Entangled Moments

Entangled Moments was the main Marvel Rivals event for Season 0, and ran until Thursday, January 2, 2025. During the event, you had to complete specific missions set by each of the five event tiles to unlock each one's story beat and Gallery Card.

Marvel Rivals Championship Season 0: Doom's Rise

The inaugural Marvel Rivals Championship (MRC) circuit concluded on Sunday, January 5, and 4am / 7am GMT on Monday, January 6, 2025.

To qualify for the tournament you had to reach a minimum rank of Silver III and also be part of a faction with six or more members. MRC consists of an open and closed qualifier, before moving onto a double-elimination knockout stage. The top 16 teams drew from a $14,500 prize pool, with the top team taking home $6,000.

Marvels Rivals beta events

Here are the Marvel Rivals events that ran during the beta:

• Galacta's Quest

Galacta's Quest

Galacta's quest was a battle pass-like event that ran throughout the Marvel Rivals closed beta. It rewarded players for ranking up and gaining XP with cosmetics, sprays, and an exclusive closed beta Cyan Clash Venom skin for those able to advance to the end.

War of The Realms

War of The Realms was a 6v6 competition that ran until August 4, 2024. There were four regions available to join: North America, Europe, Asia, and a dedicated console realm. There was a $15,000 prize pool available for the winners, with the top 32 factions receiving permanent titles and the top eight receiving exclusive nameplates.
