Marvel Rivals Endgame Mode Starts Friday Night in the US: First Session Times

Quick Take

The short version
  • Marvel Rivals' Avengers: Endgame mode opens its first two-hour session Friday, October 23 at 9 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. PDT (October 24, 01:00 UTC).
  • Two more sessions follow the same UTC day (10:00–12:00 and 18:00–20:00), and the mode then returns only in limited weekly windows through November 26.
  • The broader Path to Doomsday event runs October 22 – November 26, 09:00 UTC, so matchmaking opens only during the scheduled sessions.
  • Confirmed free rewards: Captain America's The Winter Soldier costume, a Times Square Gallery Card for two minutes of the screening, and 100 Units for an NPC group photo.

Marvel Rivals’ Avengers: Endgame mode opens its first session at 9 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. PDT on Friday, October 23. NetEase lists the same window as October 24 in UTC. The wider event began with the October 22 patch. For US players planning a group session, the first window lasts two hours.

When can you play Marvel Rivals’ Endgame mode in the US?

The official Version 20261022 patch notes list these first three windows. US conversions use daylight time, which is still in effect on these dates.

Session Official UTC window Eastern time (EDT) Pacific time (PDT)
1 Oct. 24, 01:00–03:00 Oct. 23, 9–11 p.m. Oct. 23, 6–8 p.m.
2 Oct. 24, 10:00–12:00 Oct. 24, 6–8 a.m. Oct. 24, 3–5 a.m.
3 Oct. 24, 18:00–20:00 Oct. 24, 2–4 p.m. Oct. 24, 11 a.m.–1 p.m.

That gives the initial schedule six hours of access across three sessions. Friday evening and Saturday later in the day are the practical choices for US players; the middle session falls early in the morning, especially on the West Coast.

Set reminders for your local date. The announcement lists times in UTC. Check the official notice again before later weeks; this table covers only the opening schedule.

Why does the event start before the mode opens?

NetEase gives the event an October 22–November 26 window while separately specifying October 24 UTC for the mode’s opening. It also describes limited availability in subsequent weeks, so matchmaking opens only during the scheduled sessions.

The Season 10.5 Infinity War update introduced an earlier mode, and these Endgame session times are new, so check them on their own.

What free rewards are confirmed?

The notes name Captain America’s The Winter Soldier costume as a free event reward. They also list a Gallery Card for continuously watching the Endgame screening in Times Square for two minutes, and 100 Units for a group photo with NPCs at the event’s photo walls. Check the in-game requirements for the costume; the announcement does not provide a complete mission checklist.

Those rewards are separate from the October Halloween patch’s Rocket Raccoon event, and their requirements are independent of the mode’s play windows.
