Connect your Marvel Rivals account through Twitch's built-in linking

To stream Marvel Rivals on Twitch, you need to link your game account to your Twitch account. The fastest way is through Twitch's account connections page, which takes about five minutes and requires no third-party apps. You'll authorize Twitch to access your Marvel Rivals profile, and from that point forward, Twitch knows who you are when you stream.

Start by logging into your Twitch account on a web browser. Go to Settings (the gear icon in the top right), then select Connections. Scroll down until you see Marvel Rivals, and click Connect. You'll be sent to a NetEase login page — that's the company that makes Marvel Rivals. Enter your Marvel Rivals username and password, then authorize the connection. Twitch will confirm the link is active, and you're done.

Key Takeaways

  • Link your Marvel Rivals account through Twitch Settings > Connections, which takes five minutes and requires your NetEase login credentials.
  • Once connected, your Twitch channel automatically displays your Marvel Rivals profile and stats to viewers when you go live.
  • You can unlink the account at any time through the same Connections page if you want to stop sharing your profile data.
  • The connection works on both PC and console versions of Marvel Rivals, as long as you're using the same NetEase account for both.

What happens after you connect

Once the link is active, Twitch pulls information from your Marvel Rivals profile and displays it on your channel. Viewers can see your rank, your main heroes, your win rate, and other stats without leaving Twitch. This happens automatically — you don't need to do anything else to keep it updated.

The connection also lets Twitch recommend your stream to people who play Marvel Rivals. If someone is browsing Marvel Rivals streams and your channel is live, they're more likely to see you in the list. This is purely informational; Twitch doesn't charge you or change how streaming works.

If you play on console and PC

Marvel Rivals runs on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC. If you play on more than one platform, make sure you're using the same NetEase account on all of them. Your Twitch connection links to that single NetEase account, so it will show stats from whichever platform you're currently playing on.

If you've created separate NetEase accounts for different platforms, you'll need to pick one to link to Twitch. You can change which account is linked later, but only one can be active at a time. Check your Marvel Rivals settings on each platform to confirm which NetEase account is signed in.

Troubleshooting a failed connection

The most common reason a connection fails is an incorrect password. If you haven't logged into your NetEase account in a while, try resetting your password on the NetEase website first, then attempt the Twitch link again. Make sure you're using your NetEase username, not your in-game display name — they're often different.

If you see an error message that says your account is already linked, it means another Twitch account has already connected to that NetEase profile. You can only link one Twitch account per NetEase account. If this is your account and you linked it to a different Twitch channel by mistake, go to your NetEase account settings and remove the Twitch connection there, then try linking again.

Disconnecting your account

You can unlink Marvel Rivals from Twitch at any time. Go back to Twitch Settings > Connections, find Marvel Rivals, and click Disconnect. Your stats will stop showing on your Twitch channel when ready, but your Marvel Rivals account itself is not affected — you can still play normally.

If you want to link a different NetEase account to Twitch instead, disconnect the current one first, then connect the new account. There's no waiting period between disconnecting and reconnecting.

Why Twitch asks for this permission

When you authorize the connection, Twitch asks permission to see your Marvel Rivals profile and stats. This is how Twitch displays your rank and hero information on your channel. Twitch doesn't ask for permission to change anything in your account — it only reads your public profile data. You can revoke this permission at any time by disconnecting.

NetEase and Twitch are separate companies, but they've built this integration so streamers can show their stats without manually updating them. The data Twitch displays is the same information that's already public in your Marvel Rivals profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to connect my account to stream Marvel Rivals?

No. You can stream Marvel Rivals without connecting your account to Twitch. The connection is optional and only adds your profile stats to your channel. Viewers can still watch you play without it.

Can I connect multiple Marvel Rivals accounts to one Twitch channel?

No. One Twitch account can only link to one NetEase account at a time. If you have multiple Marvel Rivals accounts, you'll need to choose which one to display on your channel.

Will connecting my account let Twitch change my Marvel Rivals settings?

No. The connection is read-only, meaning Twitch can only see your stats, not modify anything. Your account security and in-game settings remain under your control.

What if I forget my NetEase password?

Go to the NetEase login page and click "Forgot Password." You'll receive a reset link via email. Once you've set a new password, use it to connect your account to Twitch.

Does the connection work if I change my in-game name?

Yes. The connection is tied to your NetEase account, not your display name. If you change your in-game name, Twitch will automatically show your new name on your channel.
