Tournament Calendar

The season kicks off in May, with teams needing to pass the Qualifiers before Stage 1's group stage. Top teams from the Marvel Rivals Invitational 2025 and Championship Season 1 will receive direct invitations, while others can qualify through the in-game Open Qualifiers starting in May.

Teams have two chances to qualify, with each split offering about half of the slots. Qualified teams move to the group stage, where the top half advances to regional playoffs and the bottom half is eliminated.


In July, the Mid-Season Finals will take place, allowing top teams from Championship Season 2 and Stage 2 Open Qualifiers to vie for spots in Ignite Stage 2. The top half from Stage 1 will automatically qualify for Stage 2, where teams will compete in the Group Stage and Playoffs leading up to the Grand Finals in November.
