Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 Release Time

Seasonal updates are the best thing about Marvel Rivals, and the upcoming mid-season drop is shaping up to be one of its most anticipated yet. Season 7.5, titled The Hunt Is On, continues the current New York storyline while introducing a fan-favorite anti-hero to the roster.

Season 7 kicked off on March 20, 2026, bringing White Fox into the game as a Strategist and setting the tone for the weeks that followed. Now, the spotlight shifts to Black Cat, who takes her place as another playable hero and brings a very different kind of chaos with her in Marvel Rivals. This guide covers everything you need to know about the release date, launch time, and when you can actually start playing.

Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 Release Date & Time

Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 is set to launch on April 17, 2026. As always, players can expect the update to roll out globally at the same time across all regions. The patch is expected to go live at approximately 09:00 AM UTC.

Although the update technically launches at 09:00 AM UTC, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be able to jump straight into matches. Marvel Rivals updates almost always come with a maintenance period that stretches anywhere from three to four hours. Once that window closes, servers gradually come back online and players can begin downloading the patch and accessing the new content.

Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 Details

Season 7.5 is a classic mid-season refresh. The highlight of this update is undoubtedly Black Cat, also known as Felicia Hardy. Her addition follows a pattern seen in previous seasons, where a second hero is introduced midway through the season to shake up the meta.

With Black Cat joining the roster and new content arriving across the board, the update offers a solid reason to return to the game or stay invested as the season continues toward its May 22 conclusion.
