Roblox Rivals Season 4 Guide: Start Time and Rank Reset

When does RIVALS Season 4 start in your time zone

Every time below comes from one stamp on the official listing: 02:00 UTC on Saturday, November 14, 2026. US clocks went back an hour on Sunday, November 1, so the United States is on standard time now. Eastern time is five hours behind UTC, and Pacific time is eight hours behind. That is why the season starts on Friday night in the US even though the UTC date is Saturday.

If your time zone is not in the table, work it out from 02:00 UTC on November 14. Add your offset from UTC to that stamp and you have your local start time. The date can shift by a day across the line: it is Friday night in the Americas and Saturday morning across Europe, Asia and Australia. Set an alarm for your local time rather than trusting a countdown on a fan page, because fan countdowns have pointed at the wrong day before.

What the official listing says, word for word

The listing is short, and that shortness is the whole story. Its title is “SEASON 4” with a trophy emoji on each side. Its subtitle is “The Standard Season”. Its description is only two lines: “SEASON 4 IS COMING.” and “11/13/26”. That is everything Nosniy Games has written about the season on the listing itself.

The listing also carries one tagline, quoted here exactly as the developer wrote it, including the typo: “Brand new season, new battlepass, rank reset, exlcusive rewards, ranked improvements”. The word “exlcusive” is misspelled in the listing itself. We kept the spelling as it stands so you can match it against the listing when you check it yourself.

The listing image says just as much by saying so little. It is three big white question marks on a black background. No Season 4 weapon, map or skin had been shown on the listing when it was last re-read on November 8. That is normal for RIVALS: the details land with the patch notes on launch day, not weeks early on the event card. Until Friday, the question marks are the honest picture.

What each confirmed item means for you

A new season. Season 4 has its own theme name, The Standard Season. The word Standard is also used inside the game for its base weapon class, but Nosniy has not said the two are connected, so do not read the name as a hint about weapons or maps. Treat it as a name for now. The theme will make sense once the patch notes show what is actually in the season.

A new battle pass. A new pass takes the place of the Season 3 pass. That means Season 3 pass progress ends when Season 4 starts, so anything you still want from the Season 3 pass has to be claimed before Friday night. No price for the new pass is announced. Do not buy anything that calls itself a Season 4 pass until the price shows up inside the game itself.

A rank reset. Your Season 3 rank does not carry over into Season 4. Everyone starts the climb again. That is good news if your Season 3 rank felt stuck, and it is a fresh start for new players too. Nosniy has not said how the new climb works in detail, so do not plan around placement rules or rank bands you read on fan pages. The listing confirms the reset and nothing more.

Exclusive rewards. The listing promises exclusive rewards and names none of them. That is all we know. Do not chase a specific skin, charm or weapon you saw in a leak video, because none of it is confirmed. Wait for the patch notes, read the reward list there, and then decide what is worth your time.

Ranked improvements. The listing names ranked improvements and gives no details at all. Ranked play is the part of RIVALS that players complain about most, so any fix here matters, but nobody outside Nosniy knows what is changing yet. The patch notes on Friday are the first place a real list will appear. Until then, treat every “ranked rework” claim as a guess.

What is not announced yet

Here is the full list of what Nosniy has not said anything about: no new weapons, no new maps, no new skins, no battle pass price, no season length, and no patch notes. If a video or a post claims to show a Season 4 weapon, treat it as a rumor until the developer posts it. The listing image is three question marks, and that is the most honest summary of what is public right now.

One date needs care. The Season 4 listing stays up until December 5, 2026. That date only closes the listing on Roblox. It is not the last day of Season 4, and it is not an end date for the season. Past RIVALS seasons have run for months, and Nosniy has not announced how long this one lasts. Do not plan your pass grind around December 5.

How to get ready before Friday night

1. Wrap up Season 3 before Friday night. The new season starts at 9:00 PM EST, so treat that as your cutoff for Season 3 progress and rewards.
2. Claim your Season 3 pass rewards first. A new battle pass takes the old one’s place, so unclaimed Season 3 rewards are the first thing to lose.
3. Do not spend Robux on a Season 4 pass yet. No price is announced, and the listing names no price at all.
4. Hold your keys and Robux until the new pass is shown. You cannot judge what is worth buying before you see the price and the rewards.
5. Ignore leaked weapon and map names. The listing image is three question marks for a reason: nothing is shown yet, and leaks have been wrong before.
6. Plan your Friday evening. If you want to play at launch, be ready at 9:00 PM EST or 6:00 PM PST, and read the patch notes the moment they go live. They are the first place the new weapons, the pass price and the ranked changes will appear.

One separate question is the Halloween event. Its own event listing was removed from the game’s Events list, and no new end date has been posted. The game’s own description still opens with the Halloween update, so the event is still in the game as far as its page shows. Treat the Halloween end date as unconfirmed and check the countdown inside the game itself rather than trusting a date from a fan page.
