Possible reasons

Marvel Rivals Season 1 went live and brought a massive update to all the supported platforms. The entire community downloading and installing the patch could strain the official servers and cause unforeseen errors. Moreover, many more players would want to log in and experience the new changes. This can cause server connection problems and prevent a chunk of players from entering the lobbies.

Marvel Rivals could also be using a staggered entry method to only allow a certain number of players in at once. This could be a result of the devs trying to minimize server failure risks. However, there is also a possibility that your internet connection is problematic. In such a case, it is best to contact your ISP to receive the necessary assistance.
