Editor’s Note: We regularly update this article to reflect the current Marvel Rivals server status and the latest information about downtime or connectivity issues.
Is Marvel Rivals Down Right Now?
Yes, the game is down at the moment, but it’s all planned. The development team scheduled maintenance that started on January 9 at 11 PM PST and should wrap up around January 10, 1:10 AM PST.
The team mentioned that the end time might shift a bit depending on how smoothly things go. Sometimes these updates can take a little longer than expected if they run into any issues they need to fix. It’s better for them to take their time and make sure everything works properly than to rush and have problems later.

How to Check Marvel Rivals Server Status
When you’re unsure about the game’s server status, there are several reliable ways to check:
The most up-to-date information about Marvel Rivals server status can be found on their official social media channels. The development team is pretty active on Twitter and Discord, where they post real-time updates about server maintenance and unexpected issues. While we couldn’t find a dedicated server status page on the official website yet, they might add this feature in the news section soon.
For a community perspective on server issues, you can check third-party websites like Downdetector. These sites track user reports and can give you a good idea if other players are experiencing similar connection problems.
Just remember that these platforms rely on user reports, so they might not always reflect the official server status.
How to Fix Marvel Rivals Connection Issues
Once the servers are down for scheduled maintenance, there’s not much you can do except wait for the update to complete. However, once the servers are back online, if you’re still having trouble connecting to the game, here are some things you can try:
- Check your internet connection by running a speed test
- Restart your game client completely
- Clear your DNS cache
- Verify your game files through the launcher
- Make sure your network ports are properly configured
- Try connecting through a wired connection instead of Wi-Fi
- Temporarily disable your firewall or antivirus to see if they’re causing issues
- If nothing else works, try reinstalling the game

Remember that right after a major update, servers might be crowded with players trying to log in at the same time. If you’re having trouble connecting right after maintenance ends, waiting a little while and trying again later often helps.
Most server-related issues will clear up on their own once the maintenance is complete. The best thing to do is keep an eye on the official Marvel Rivals social media channels for the latest updates about when you can jump back into the action.
