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 1 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 if your competitive cogs are turning.
Marvel Rivals events
The current Marvel Rivals events are:
- Darkhold (Battle Pass)
- Midnight Features
- Marvel Rivals Championship S1: Eternal Night Falls
Darkhold (Battle Pass)
Duration: January 10, 2025 – April 11, 2025
Marvel Rivals’ first full-length battle pass is here, bringing 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’ll be able to pick up some pretty slick Marvel Rivals skins for the likes of Loki, Scarlet Witch, and Wolverine.
Midnight Features
Duration: January 10, 2025 – February 7, 2025
With a Draculean invasion on our hands, business is booming for the Daily Bugle. Midnight Features follows the same format as Season 0’s Entangled Moments in that you’ll be clearing chapter-based missions, with new chapters opening up every couple of days.
In return for your efforts, you’ll be rewarded with currency, Gallery Cards, and even a fresh new Thor skin.
Marvel Rivals Championship Season 1: Eternal Night Falls
Duration: January 16, 2025 – April 7, 2025
To qualify for the second MRC split, you have to reach a minimum rank of Gold III (up from Silver III in S0) 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 draw from a $11,900 prize pool, with the top team taking home $6,000.
Previous Marvel Rivals events
The previous Marvel Rivals events are:
- Winter Celebration
- Entangled Moments
- Marvel Rivals Championship S0: Doom’s Rise
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:

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.
