The event’s specifics are largely straightforward, and you can collect a bunch of rewards by simply participating. On that note, here’s everything to know about the Marvel Rivals Whac-A-Jeff event, including how to get the free Jeff ‘8-Bit Bash’ costume.
Marvel Rivals Whac-A-Jeff Event Start and End Date
The Whac-A-Jeff event kicks off on January 16, 2026, at 9 AM UTC, and it will end on March 17, at 9 AM UTC. This means players have a solid two months to collect all the rewards on offer.

Marvel Rivals Whac-A-Jeff Season 6 Event Explained
Just like the Land Shark’s previous events, the Marvel Rivals Whac-A-Jeff event is centered around a gimmick. In this case, you’ll need to complete a set of daily missions to collect Chimichangas, which can be given to Deadpool on the event’s main page. After gorging on his favorite snacks, the Merc with a Hammer will be ready to ‘Whac Jeff.’ Every time you Whac Jeff, you’ll receive a reward, even if the shark manages to avoid impact.
Every reward in the event is completely free to unlock. However, you’ll need to complete daily missions to earn Chimichangas, which are basically the event currency. You can earn a maximum of three Chimichangas every day, and you will need to wait until the next day to earn more.
