Earn IGNITE Grand Finals Esports Event rewards in Marvel Rivals by completing subscription and viewing missions, then submitting Group Stage and Main Event predictions on time.
You have three cutoffs to track: the initial group rankings, the single Group Stage modification, and the Main Event bracket. Group Stage and Main Event predictions are tallied separately, so entering one stage does not replace the other. All times below are UTC.
How to access the IGNITE Grand Finals Esports Event
The Version 20261113 patch notes schedule Season 11 maintenance for November 13, 2026, at 09:00 UTC, with an estimated duration of two hours. The IGNITE Grand Finals Esports Event opens after that maintenance finishes. Do not treat the maintenance start as the event opening time.
Open the in-game Esports page and enter the IGNITE Grand Finals Esports Event. The updated esports system contains the tournament format, match schedules, participating teams, and player information.
The Marvel Rivals IGNITE 2026 Grand Finals takes place from November 23 to 29 in Stockholm, Sweden. Its 12-team field includes four teams from the Americas, four from EMEA, two from China, and two from the Pacific. You can follow the competition through the in-game system without joining a tournament roster.
How to complete missions through subscriptions and Livestreams
The event's mission activities cover subscriptions and viewing. Use the event missions to check which actions you still need to complete.
| Activity | What to do |
|---|---|
| Match subscriptions | Subscribe to Grand Finals matches through the in-game esports system. |
| Team subscriptions | Subscribe to participating Grand Finals teams. |
| Viewing | Watch live broadcasts, replays, or VODs through the in-game Livestreams tab. |
Replays and VODs provide a viewing option if you cannot catch a match live. Use the in-game Livestreams tab for the viewing activities named by this event.
Keep Twitch campaigns separate when checking unlock requirements. The Marvel Rivals Star-Lord IGNITE skin and Twitch Drop rewards belong to a Mid-Season Finals campaign, not this Grand Finals mission route.
How to submit Group Stage rankings before November 23
Your initial Group Stage prediction must be submitted by November 23, 2026, at 12:50 UTC. Predict the complete finishing order of all 12 teams across Groups A and B, placing every team from first through sixth within its own group.
Group Stage ranking predictions
The table below shows group membership, not a suggested finishing order.
| Group A | Group B |
|---|---|
| Aconyx | 100 Thieves |
| aimerz+ | Liquid Citadel |
| FlyQuest | Monarch |
| Gen.G | RAD |
| Natus Vincere | REJECT |
| Swamp Gaming | Virtus.pro |
The Group Stage runs from November 23 to 25. Each group plays a BO3 single round-robin, and the top four teams from each group advance to the Main Event. Your forecast needs the bottom two positions as well as the qualifying places.
How to choose your ranking order
Start with competitive results when deciding where to place teams. Natus Vincere won EMEA Stage 2 and the 2026 Mid-Season Finals, while Liquid Citadel won Americas Stage 2. Virtus.pro enters as the defending Grand Finals champion after beating Natus Vincere 4:1 in the previous final.
Use those results alongside the current team and player information in Esports. These are different kinds of evidence: recent regional results describe the qualification run, while the previous Grand Finals result describes an earlier international event.
Before submitting, check that each group contains six placements and that neither list is missing a team. Selecting only your expected qualifiers does not answer the complete-ranking prediction.
How to use your Group Stage prediction modification attempt
The Group Stage gives you one prediction modification attempt. Make the initial submission by its deadline first; the later modification window applies to revising that forecast.
Review your rankings against the Group Stage results before using the attempt. Decide which placements you want to change across both groups, then make the revision as one deliberate update. Do not plan around repeatedly changing your order after every match.
The initial submission cutoff and modification cutoff serve different purposes. Keep both in your calendar so the later date does not cause you to miss the original entry window.
When Main Event predictions open and close
Main Event predictions open after the final Group Stage rankings and the Main Event bracket are confirmed. Return to the event once those standings and pairings are settled to enter this second prediction stage.
The Main Event runs from November 27 to 29. You can still participate after its first day has begun, so missing the start of the playoffs does not automatically mean you have missed the prediction window.
Use the confirmed bracket when preparing this submission. Your earlier Group Stage forecast is not a substitute for the actual standings that determine the playoff matchups.
How to predict Main Event results using the bracket map
Use the bracket map to predict individual match results. The eight advancing teams enter a double-elimination stage, with the first round pairing teams across groups based on their Group Stage rankings.
Main Event prediction bracket
Work through the displayed matchups and check how your expected winners and lower-bracket survivors reach the later rounds. This stage asks for match results, not another first-to-sixth group ranking.
Understand the series lengths
The number of maps needed to win changes as teams move through the bracket.
| Main Event round | Series format | Maps needed to win |
|---|---|---|
| Upper Bracket quarterfinals | BO3 | 2 |
| Upper Bracket semifinals | BO3 | 2 |
| Upper Bracket final | BO5 | 3 |
| All Lower Bracket matches | BO5 | 3 |
| Grand Final | BO7 | 4 |
An Upper Bracket loss sends a team into the Lower Bracket, where another loss ends its run. When reviewing your forecast, follow both routes through the bracket instead of checking only the team you expect to win the championship.
Before submitting, review the later-round matchups against your earlier predicted results. Base those choices on the bracket's confirmed starting pairings, not the groups you originally expected to see.
What rewards can you earn?
Mission completion and prediction accuracy award different rewards. Use the activity type to identify the unlock route for the item you want.
| Reward route | Named rewards | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Event missions | Grand Finals participating teams' exclusive sprays and Chrono Tokens | Complete event missions through the listed subscription and viewing activities. |
| Prediction accuracy milestones | Grand Finals Prediction Titles, Units, Unstable Molecules, and more | Reach prediction accuracy reward milestones and claim the rewards you unlock. |
A submitted forecast does not guarantee every prediction reward. Those unlocks depend on reaching the event's accuracy milestones, so check which milestones you have reached when claiming rewards.
These esports rewards use missions and prediction milestones. The Marvel Rivals bundle code redemption process is a separate route for rewards issued as codes.
Keep other Season 11 rewards separate
Season 11 also introduces a Twitch Drop campaign featuring the Devil Dinosaur - Will of Galacta costume and related bundle content. That campaign runs from November 13, 2026, at 12:00 UTC to December 11, 2026, at 09:00 UTC. Its rewards are separate from the Grand Finals mission and prediction rewards listed above.
For the IGNITE event, finish the subscription and viewing missions, submit both prediction stages, use your single group revision carefully, and claim the accuracy milestones you reach.
