Last checked: 2026-11-05 (RIVALS Update 24 "RIVALSWEEN", Season 3 "The Fame Season"). Nosniy Games has put RIVALS Season 4 on the official Roblox events calendar. It's called The Standard Season, and it starts November 13, 2026. This guide covers the exact start time in every time zone, what the developers have confirmed so far, what the rank reset does to your ELO and Glory, which Season 3 rewards you lose if you don't finish them, and how to prepare during the last week of Season 3.
Quick answer: RIVALS Season 4 "The Standard Season" starts at 02:00 UTC on November 14, 2026, which is Friday, November 13 at 9:00 PM EST / 6:00 PM PST, per the official Roblox event listing. Nosniy Games has confirmed a new battle pass, a rank reset, exclusive rewards and Ranked improvements. When Season 3 ends, ranked players get Glory (up to 2,500 from performance, plus up to 500 from the Ranked Contract), a final-rank charm, and the top 200 get the Mythical Arch Uzi. The Season 3 pass closes for good, so finish it before Friday.
RIVALS is still one of the biggest shooters on Roblox. Our Roblox Games API pull on 2026-11-05 at 03:52 UTC showed 83,299 concurrent players, 19.15 billion visits and 96.75 million favorites. It has 10.94 million upvotes against 743,000 downvotes, about 94% positive. That's a late-Wednesday-evening US snapshot, and the count usually climbs on season launch weekends.

When does RIVALS Season 4 come out?
The official Roblox event page for Season 4, hosted by Nosniy Games, reads in full: "SEASON 4 IS COMING. 11/13/26". Its subtitle is "The Standard Season". The listing's start timestamp is 2026-11-14 at 02:00 UTC. Since US daylight saving time ended on November 1, that converts to:
| Region | Season 4 start |
|---|---|
| US Pacific (PST) | Friday, Nov 13, 6:00 PM |
| US Eastern (EST) | Friday, Nov 13, 9:00 PM |
| UTC | Saturday, Nov 14, 02:00 |
| UK (GMT) | Saturday, Nov 14, 2:00 AM |
| Central Europe (CET) | Saturday, Nov 14, 3:00 AM |
| Moscow (MSK) | Saturday, Nov 14, 5:00 AM |
| Japan (JST) | Saturday, Nov 14, 11:00 AM |
| Sydney (AEDT) | Saturday, Nov 14, 1:00 PM |
The event card stays listed until December 5, 2026. That's how long Roblox shows the event, not how long the season lasts. Past RIVALS seasons ran for months (see the table below).
RIVALS updates usually go live on Friday evenings US time, and the developers note that patch-note freebies can be time-limited. Update 22's notes said the free reward at the bottom of the patch notes "is now only available if you join in the first hour of the update". If that rule is still in place, log in within the first hour.
What's confirmed for RIVALS Season 4?
The event listing carries one line from Nosniy Games describing the season (quoted as written, including the typo): "RIVALS Season 4 is here! Brand new season, new battlepass, rank reset, exlcusive rewards, ranked improvements". That gives us five confirmed items:
- A new season with its own theme, "The Standard Season".
- A new battle pass, the Season Pass, replacing the Season 3 one.
- A rank reset for everyone who completed their Ranked placements in Season 3.
- Exclusive rewards, which past seasons used for Ranked Contract cosmetics and Season Pass weapons.
- Ranked improvements.
The Ranked work was promised months ago. In the Update 21 developer note (June 26, 2026), Nosniy Games wrote: "we know that the Ranked mode has its issues. We will be locking in on identifying and addressing all open problems with matchmaking, ELO gain, & the Glory Shop. We also want to take a look at how we can make the Season Pass more exciting for all players. The majority of these changes will most likely not make their way into the next update, but they will be here in time for Season 4." Matchmaking, ELO gain, the Glory Shop and the Season Pass are the four areas to watch in the patch notes.
Nothing else is official yet. The new weapons, maps and the meaning of "Standard" haven't been revealed. "Standard" is also the name of RIVALS' base weapon class, the free starter guns like the Assault Rifle and Handgun. That's a coincidence until Nosniy says otherwise. Treat any leaked weapon names as rumors until the patch notes go live.
How do RIVALS seasons work?
Season 4 will be the fifth Ranked season. The RIVALS Wiki Ranked Seasons page and patch history give this timeline:
| Season | Start date | Update | Length | Season weapons | Top 200 reward (given next season) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Season 0 (Ranked release) | Feb 28, 2025 | Update 10 | ~7 months | none (no pass yet) | Arch Katana |
| Season 1, The Warp Season | Sep 26, 2025 | Update 15 | ~11 weeks | Distortion, Warper, Warpstone | Arch Crossbow |
| Season 2, The Polar Season | Dec 12, 2025 | Update 17 | ~19 weeks | Permafrost, Maul | Arch Molotov |
| Season 3, The Fame Season | Apr 24, 2026 | Update 20 | 203 days (~29 weeks) | Grappler, Spear | Arch Uzi |
| Season 4, The Standard Season | Nov 13, 2026 | TBA | TBA | TBA | TBA |
Season 3 will end up as the longest Season Pass season so far, at 203 days. Season lengths vary a lot, so nobody can tell you yet when Season 5 starts.
What happens when Season 3 ends?
Update 20, which started Season 3, is the best guide to what a RIVALS season change does. Its patch notes list these steps, and Season 4 should follow the same pattern:
- Ranks reset. "All players that completed their placements last season have had their ranks reset & received special Ranked rewards." You play 10 placement matches again.
- Glory is paid out "based on their final ELO & total wins", for spending in the Ranked Shop.
- A final-rank charm. Season 3 handed out a "Season 2" charm based on your final rank. Expect a Season 3 charm this time.
- The top 200 get an Arch skin. Players who finish in Archnemesis (top 200) get a Mythical Arch skin. The Arch Uzi wiki page states it goes to the top 200 of Season 3 and "will be given out with the release of Season 4."
- The old Season Pass closes. "The previous Season Pass has concluded and is no longer available to progress in."
- Last season's weapons go to the Key shop. After Season 2, Permafrost and Maul went "permanently on sale for keys".
How much Glory will you get?
The RIVALS Wiki Glory page gives the end-of-season formula:
Glory = 1,250 × (Ranked wins ÷ 250) + 1,250 × (final ELO ÷ 3,600)
Performance Glory is capped at 2,500, and the Ranked Contract adds up to 500 more. A few worked examples:
| Ranked wins | Final ELO (rank) | Glory from performance |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | 1,200 (Gold I) | 250 + 417 = 667 |
| 100 | 2,400 (Diamond I) | 500 + 833 = 1,333 |
| 200 | 3,000 (Onyx I) | 1,000 + 1,042 = 2,042 |
| 250 | 3,600 (Nemesis) | 1,250 + 1,250 = 2,500 (cap) |
Wins and ELO count equally. A Gold player with lots of wins can earn as much as a Diamond player who barely played. In the last week, every extra Ranked win is worth 5 Glory and every 100 ELO is worth about 35 Glory.
Can you lose ELO before the reset?
Yes, if you sit at Onyx I (3,000 ELO) or higher. The Ranked page says players at Onyx I+ who are inactive for 7 days lose 100 ELO per day from the 8th day until they play again or drop to 3,000. With 8 days left in Season 3, skipping Ranked until the reset can cost an Onyx or Nemesis player at least 100 ELO, and several hundred if you've already been idle for a few days. Every 100 ELO is about 35 Glory, and the drop can also demote you before the final snapshot. Play at least one Ranked match this week.
Which Season 3 rewards should you finish before Friday?
The Season 3 pass and Ranked Contract both end when Season 4 starts. Here's what to finish now.
The Season 3 Season Pass. The Season Pass page lists 70 tiers. You gain one level for every 25 rounds won or 20 minutes played. After 7 levels the pass pauses for 7 days. You can't grind your way to tier 70 in the last week. You get at most 7 free levels before Friday, so claim them. The free track's Season 3 weapon is the Spear (Prime melee). The Prime track starts with the Grappler (Contraband utility).
The Ranked Contract. Ranked wins unlock a universal charm, wrap, finisher, emote and skin. Season 3's set is the Horseshoe charm, Mesa wrap, Paparazzi Flash finisher, Standoff emote and the Spy Gloves skin for Fists. The final skin needs 200 Ranked wins. If you're close, this is your last week.
RIVALSWEEN Candy. The Spooky Event (Update 24, which players call RIVALSWEEN) has its own deadline, and it may come first. Its original Roblox event listing ran to November 7, 2026 at 05:00 UTC. That listing has since been removed from the RIVALS events calendar, and no new end date has been posted, so the in-game countdown is the only reliable signal. The patch notes warn: "Your Candy disappears once the Spooky Event ends — make sure to spend them!" Our RIVALSWEEN event guide lists what Candy buys.

Will the Grappler and Spear be sold for Keys in Season 4?
Probably, but the price isn't announced. When Season 3 started, the Update 20 notes put the Season 2 weapons, Permafrost and Maul, "permanently on sale for keys". The Season 1 weapons have Key prices on the wiki today too. The Grappler and Spear pages both still show "TBD" Key prices.
Past season weapons give a price range. The Contraband ones sell for 600 Keys (Permafrost), 650 (Warper) and 700 (Distortion). The Prime ones sell for 400 (Warpstone) and 550 (Maul). If the Grappler (Contraband) and Spear (Prime) land in the same bands, budget about 1,000–1,250 Keys for both. That's an estimate from past prices, not a confirmed number. The Spear also got a big buff in Update 24 (equip cooldown 1.25s → 0.6s, throw damage 25 → 30), so it's a better buy than it was at launch.
Season 4 will add its own pass weapons on top. If you want both old weapons on day one and the new Prime pass, the Key and Robux costs add up quickly.
How much does the Season 4 battle pass cost?
The Season 4 price isn't out yet. Season 3 pricing is the best guide. On the Season Pass page levels cost 99 Robux each, scaling to 6,999 Robux for all 70. The Contraband Bundle is 999 Robux. It includes the Prime pass upgrade, 20 Season Pass levels, 10 Prime Goodie Bags, the "Glitchy Name" nametag and a set of themed cosmetics. Its contents change every season.
At 7 free levels a week, a free player needs at least 10 weeks to reach tier 70. Season 3 ran for 29 weeks, so buying levels only matters if you start late or the season turns out short.
How should you get ready for RIVALS Season 4?
Here's a checklist for the last 8 days of Season 3:
- Now, not later: spend all RIVALSWEEN Candy and finish your Gargoyle Tower and Zombie Tower runs. The original end date was Nov 7, 05:00 UTC, and no replacement date has been announced.
- By Friday: claim this week's 7 Season Pass levels and push your Ranked Contract as far as you can.
- If you're Onyx or above: play at least one Ranked match so ELO decay doesn't hit your final Glory.
- Save Keys: about 1,000–1,250 Keys covers the Grappler and Spear at past price bands, before any Season 4 weapon. Our guide on how to get Keys in RIVALS covers the free sources (about 55–60 a week).
- Check your Ranked access: you need Level 100, 10 standard duels, 30 completed tasks, an account at least 14 days old and verification on your Roblox account. Update 22 tightened verification, so check it before the reset.
- Log in at launch: 9:00 PM EST Friday, for the first-hour patch-notes reward.
Short on Keys for the Season 4 weapon drop? Pick up a bundle on timesaver.gg:
The Legendary bundle's 1,100 Keys sits inside the 1,000–1,250 range above for the Grappler plus Spear. For a smaller top-up, the Ultra Key Bundle (450 Keys) is enough for a cheaper Prime weapon like Warpstone (400 Keys). Key skins inside the Ultra and Legendary bundles have changed with major updates in the past, so check what's included after Friday's patch.
How do placements work after the rank reset?
After the reset you play 10 placement matches to reveal your new rank. Per the Ranked page:
- Placement looks at your last season. "Finishing as a Nemesis in the previous season significantly increases the likelihood of placing into Diamond for the current season."
- The highest possible placement is Diamond I. The wiki puts the placement ceiling at 2,500 ELO, inside the Diamond I band (2,400–2,599). Nobody starts in Onyx or above.
- Performance counts as well as wins. The wiki notes a player with 2 wins can place higher than one with 10 if their match stats are better. Your level also matters: a Level 100 player who wins all 10 placements caps at Platinum I.
- You get a free ELO Shield every day below Platinum I (1,800 ELO). It blocks ELO loss for one match and doesn't stack.
| Rank | ELO needed (Tier I) |
|---|---|
| Bronze | 0+ |
| Silver | 600+ |
| Gold | 1,200+ |
| Platinum | 1,800+ |
| Diamond | 2,400+ |
| Onyx | 3,000+ |
| Nemesis | 3,600+ |
| Archnemesis | Top 200 |
Each rank has three tiers 200 ELO apart (Bronze I/II/III at 0/200/400, and so on up to Onyx). Ranked also has its own rules: third-person mode is off, aim assist is cut by 50%, auto-shoot is locked to "Dynamic", and you can swap loadouts only twice per duel. That's why auto-shoot and controller players feel weaker in Ranked than in casual duels. Since Update 22 Ranked is also region-locked, so queues can be longer in smaller regions. For loadouts, our RIVALS best weapons tier list ranks the current pool.

Will my RIVALS rank reset in Season 4? Yes. The official listing confirms a rank reset. If you completed placements in Season 3, you'll play 10 new placement matches, and your Season 3 finish affects where you land, up to Diamond I.
Do I lose my Season 3 battle pass rewards? You keep everything you've claimed. Any tiers you haven't reached are gone once Season 4 starts, because the old pass closes. Weapons from the pass have gone on sale for Keys after past seasons, but other pass cosmetics haven't.

Is there a RIVALS Season 4 code? Not yet. RIVALS codes are tied to like milestones and update launches, and redeeming one requires following the developers and joining the Nosniy Games group. Our RIVALS codes page is updated when new codes drop.
Why is Season 4 called "The Standard Season"? Nosniy Games hasn't said. The subtitle appears on the official event listing with no explanation. Expect the theme to be revealed in the trailer or patch notes on November 13.
