Marvel Rivals Season 7 Launches With White Fox, Competitive Overhauls, and Esports Hub
Season 7 introduces South Korean spy White Fox, an in-game esports spectator hub, expanded hero bans, and a global reduction in ultimate charge rates.
Season 7 of Marvel Rivals arrives on March 20, 2026, bringing Kumiho super-spy Ami Han to the roster alongside a new placement match system, basketball mini-game, and integrated esports client.
New Operative and Store Bundles
Ami Han enters the roster as White Fox, bringing espionage capabilities to the battlefield. The new Tablet of Life and Time Battle Pass features ten costume sets for heroes including Hela, Peni Parker, and Luna Snow. Players can also complete missions in the Dual Life of Peter Parker event to earn the free Deadpool Spirit Guard uniform, while store bundles for White Fox, Ultron, and The Punisher go live on launch day.
Competitive Matchmaking and Bans
The competitive suite introduces a placement match system that evaluates individual performance separately from teammates, adjusting final ranks between -100 and +100 competitive points after ten matches. Both teams now lock in three hero bans instead of two, with each ban phase shortened to 15 seconds. Tokyo 2099: Shin-Shibuya reenters the competitive map rotation, and players achieving Gold rank or higher secure the White Fox Secret Agent outfit.
In-Game Esports Integration
An integrated Esports System launches alongside the Ignite Preseason on March 27, giving players a centralized hub for tournament overviews, regional schedules, standings, live match streaming, and instant replays. The Marvel Rivals Championship also returns for Season 7, awarding Units to participating factions from open qualifiers up to the top eight.
Performance Tools and Bug Fixes
PC players with mid-to-high-end CPUs can toggle an experimental CPU rendering optimization under the settings menu. Bug fixes address an incorrect scoreboard display at the end of Convoy matches, Angela's Wingblade Ascent entering cooldown prematurely, Venom duplicating Cellular Corrosion triggers at low frame rates, and Cloak maintaining invincibility at zero health after teleporting.
Why this patch matters
Season 7 restructures competitive play with individual performance tracking, a dedicated esports viewing client, and deliberate pacing adjustments across the entire roster.
