Marvel Rivals begins its Season 10.5 update on October 9, 2026, at 09:00 UTC. NetEase estimates two hours of maintenance, so plan your session around the downtime before trying the new Infinity War mode.

October 9 maintenance times

Maintenance starts at 2 AM PDT on the US West Coast and 5 AM EDT on the East Coast. In the UK, that is 10 AM BST; in Central Europe, 11 AM CEST. Sydney and Melbourne reach the same start time at 8 PM AEDT.

If maintenance takes the estimated two hours, servers would return around 11:00 UTC: 4 AM PDT, 7 AM EDT, noon BST, 1 PM CEST, or 10 PM AEDT. These are estimated return times, not confirmed reopening times.

Infinity War arrives with the update

Path to Doomsday - Avengers: Infinity War puts 12 players into six duo squads competing for the Infinity Stones. The first squad to collect all six wins. The mode is scheduled to run through December 11 at 09:00 UTC.

The update also starts Infinity Finale, with quests that award Thor's The Avengers costume for free. Angela's Will of Galacta Twitch Drops begin later, at 12:00 UTC on October 9.

Check that maintenance has ended before arranging your first duo session. Plan around the two-hour estimate, then confirm servers are back before inviting your partner.
