Marvel Rivals Season 9 launches July 10 with new hero Jubilee and major updates

Marvel Rivals Season 9 goes live on July 10, 2026. The update introduces Jubilee as a new Strategist, wielding fireworks that heal allies while damaging and blinding enemies. Later in the season, the villainous gangster The Hood joins the roster.

A complete overhaul of the Team‑Up system gives every hero two independent loadouts, each with a Base Effect and an Enhanced Effect. Black Widow receives a full rework, shifting from a long‑range sniper to an aggressive close‑range flanker.

The Egyptian‑themed map Thebes arrives on July 23, and a new co‑op PvE mode, Path to Doomsday – Avengers: Age of Ultron, debuts on July 30. Balance changes include nerfed ultimate‑energy generation, regenerative shields for tanks, and health buffs for several heroes.

The season’s competitive climax is the Ignite Series Mid‑Season Finals in Los Angeles from July 29 to August 1, where the top teams from four global regions will compete for the first world title of the year.
