MRI 2026 Mid-Season Finals Locked In: Los Angeles, $500K Prize Pool, August Grand Finals

The Marvel Rivals Ignite 2026 Mid-Season Finals are officially locked in. The league has confirmed the host city, the full schedule, and a $500,000 prize pool for the biggest mid-season stage the game has seen.

Venue and Schedule

The Mid-Season Finals run across four days at WePlay Studios in Inglewood, California, a purpose-built esports facility minutes from LAX. The Play-In Stage kicks off on July 29, with the Main Stage running July 30-31 before the Grand Finals close things out on August 1. All matches start at 10:00 AM local time.

Prize Pool

Ten teams will split the $500,000 total purse. The champion walks away with $160,000, with $80,000 for the runner-up and $60,000 for third place. Fourth place earns $50,000, fifth and sixth place each take home $30,000, seventh and eighth place get $25,000 apiece, and ninth and tenth place still collect $20,000 each.

Qualified Teams

Ten teams punched their tickets through Stage 1: Liquid Citadel, Swamp Gaming, 100 Thieves, Gen.G, REJECT, NAVI, Virtus.pro, RAD, OUG, and Aconyx. NAVI enters red-hot after sweeping Virtus.pro 4-0 in MRI 2026 Stage 1: EMEA play, a marquee result between two of the region's heaviest hitters. Marvel Rivals Ignite says a full confirmed roster list for every squad is coming soon, with updates promised on its X account in the meantime.

Tickets and How to Watch

Tickets for the Mid-Season Finals went on sale July 7 through Tixr, with capacity at WePlay Studios expected to sell out fast, especially for the August 1 Grand Finals, which is set to include a Marvel voice actor showcase and live meet-and-greets. Fans watching from home can catch the action on Twitch and YouTube, with dedicated Japanese and Spanish-language broadcasts alongside the English feed.
