Capcom's already told us that they're planning to beef up Street Fighter IV (PS3, Xbox 360) shortly after the launch, but until now, the publisher has been keeping quiet about the release margin of the said patch.

This patch is expected to improve Street Fighter IV's multiplayer gameplay with a free Championship mode expansion. This enhanced tournament matchmaking system will allow players from all over to pit their skills against each other and see who's that baddest fighter in the streets. This feature also comes with a new point system for rankings and the option to record, playback, and upload fight replays.

Unfortunately, Capcom gives us no word on when this patch is coming. We'll just have to wait it out, like always.
