Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions must be submitted by Monday 23 November 2026 at 12:50 GMT. The free in-game prediction event asks you to rank all 12 competing teams across Groups A and B, with rewards tied to how accurately you predict the final standings. You get one opportunity to edit your original submission, but that second deadline is later: Wednesday 25 November at 12:50 GMT.
This is the first of two IGNITE prediction rounds. Here you rank the teams in their groups. The later round asks you to pick winners through the knockout bracket, with a different deadline on 28 November. The grand finals start after Season 11 launches, and the in-game Esports page is where you’ll make and manage predictions.
How to enter Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions
NetEase says the Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions event opens in the in-game Esports system after the Season 11 update and maintenance on 13 November. The new event overview will show the qualified teams, group standings and the prediction section. You need to place all six teams in each group in your expected finishing order, rather than choosing a single champion.
- Open Marvel Rivals after the Season 11 update and go to the Esports section.
- Find the IGNITE 2026 Grand Finals event and the Group Stage Predictions option.
- Look at the six teams assigned to Group A and rank them from first through sixth according to your prediction.
- Repeat for Group B, also putting every team into a finishing position.
- Review both full rankings and submit them before 23 November at 12:50 GMT.
- If you change your mind, use your permitted single edit before 25 November at 12:50 GMT.
You get one edit after submitting. Save it for a change that matters, because you cannot keep reshuffling your rankings until the matches finish.
Which 12 teams are in the IGNITE 2026 Grand Finals?
The Marvel Rivals IGNITE Grand Finals are being held in Stockholm from 23 to 29 November 2026. Twelve qualifying teams are attending, four from the Americas, four from EMEA, two from China and two from the Pacific. The publisher’s November 9 viewer guide identifies them as follows:
| Region | Qualified teams |
|---|---|
| Americas (4) | Liquid Citadel, FlyQuest, Swamp Gaming, 100 Thieves |
| EMEA (4) | Natus Vincere, Virtus.pro, RAD, Pulsar Esports |
| Pacific (2) | Gen.G Esports, REJECT |
| China (2) | Monarch, Aconyx |
Those teams are the tournament entrants, not placements already decided for Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions. The competition’s in-game Esports panel gives the current group assignments. Don’t copy the regional list into a single group or invent a final ranking before matches have been played.
Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions: dates and match format
Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions cover two groups of six competing from 23 to 25 November. Every group plays a single round-robin, with best-of-three (BO3) matches. The top four teams from each group move into the eight-team Main Event. That makes predicting fifth and sixth place relevant too, since the reward task asks for the complete order, not just the four qualifiers.
| Event | UK deadline or date |
|---|---|
| Initial prediction deadline | 23 Nov, 12:50 GMT |
| Group matches | 23-25 Nov |
| One permitted prediction change closes | 25 Nov, 12:50 GMT |
| Main Event begins | 27 Nov |
The Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions deadline is measured in GMT because the UK has returned to standard time. If you’re playing outside the UK, the in-game Esports screen should display the deadline relative to your region. The official global cutoff is 12:50 UTC, which equals 12:50 GMT on these dates.
What rewards can Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions unlock?
The IGNITE event gives prediction accuracy milestone rewards. NetEase names Grand Finals Prediction Titles, Units and Unstable Molecules, with other event rewards also mentioned. Your prizes depend on how accurate your predictions are, so don’t expect a guaranteed bundle merely for submitting twelve guesses.
NetEase confirms the reward types but hasn’t published a full table of accuracy thresholds or Unit amounts. The in-game Esports event should show those details after the Season 11 update.
The Grand Finals also include separate Esports Missions: Esports Missions for match subscriptions and watching broadcasts, replays or VODs through the in-game Livestreams tab. Those can reward team-exclusive sprays and Chrono Tokens. They are different from the group predictions’ accuracy milestones.
Can you change Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions?
Yes, once. A single modification remains available until 25 November at 12:50 GMT. You must still submit the original full rankings by 23 November at 12:50 GMT. The later date is a correction window, not a second chance to enter from scratch after missing the opening deadline.
If you want to wait for early results before using your edit, make your original submission on time and keep that one change in reserve. Remember that the Group Stage is round-robin, so a team’s initial win or loss doesn’t automatically settle its final placement.
How are bracket picks different from Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions?
The Marvel Rivals IGNITE group stage predictions round is about twelve finishing positions across two groups. The later IGNITE Grand Finals bracket prediction is about picking winners as eight teams move through a double-elimination bracket. That second prediction stage opens after the group results and bracket are confirmed and has its own deadline, 28 November at 09:50 GMT.
Both prediction stages are free. You don’t need the Battle Pass, and Twitch watch time doesn’t submit your rankings automatically.
