What to Expect From Marvel Rivals Ignite 2026?
Marvel Rivals Ignite returns for another year of professional play, with NetEase promising a more professional and competitive format compared to its inaugural season.
The calendar begins with the Preseason, running from mid-March to late April. Taking place before the league stages, it serves as a warm-up for teams and an indication of the state of the competitive scene, establishing early favourites.
Teams ranging from partnered organisations to promoted rosters from the Marvel Rivals Championship will compete across various stages and LAN events.
Teams will strive to secure a place in the Marvel Rivals Ignite Grand Finals at the end of the season. Placements are guaranteed to the top-performing regional teams from Ignite Stage 2, and the highest-ranking teams on the global leaderboards. The latter can be gathered through League Points from Ignite Stage 1 and the Midseason Finals.
