Learn all you need to know about the Season 1 Marvel Rivals Championship (MRC) with the help of this simple guide.

Marvel Rivals Championship is back with the Season 1 update. Players who love the Competitive Mode can partake in the MRC if they have reached the rank of Gold III. The system is pretty similar to what NetEase Games followed during Season 0. The timings for each schedule will be listed in this article in accordance with UTC. So, you are required to convert it to your local time.

The registration for the MRC in Season 1 began on 16/1/25 at 23:00 UTC. This will close on 8/3/25 at 9:00 UTC. Once you reach the required rank this Season, you are free to register by joining a faction. The leader of the faction also has to register separately.

Mainland China Region (PC)
North America Region (PC)
North America Region (Console)
Europe Region (PC)
Europe Region (Console)
Asia Region (PC)
