All Fortnite season start and end dates

Fortnite has come a long way since its initial release in 2017. The game’s evolution can be traced through its various seasons and chapters, each bringing new content, map changes, and gameplay mechanics. But with so many seasons and chapters behind the game, it can be hard to keep track of it all. Keep reading as we list all the Fortnite season start and end dates for you to look through.

Timeline of all Fortnite seasons

How long is a Fortnite season?

The length of Fortnite seasons is mostly unpredictable. Over the years, Epic Games has played quite a bit with season lengths. Sometimes they’re short and sweet, other times they drag on forever (Chapter 2, Season 1).

On average, you can expect a season of Fortnite to stick around about 75 days. It is approximately two and a half months or 10-11 weeks. This is usually enough time to max out your Battle Pass and get tired of the new POIs of the current season.

In the early days, season lengths were all over the place, though in recent chapters Epic Games has aimed for more consistent season lengths, typically from 70 to 100 days. They’re aiming for that sweet spot where there’s enough time to enjoy all the new content and complete the Battle Pass, but not so long that players get bored and wander off to play other games.

What is the current Fortnite season and when does it end?

At the time of writing, Fortnite is in the midst of Chapter 5 Season 4 titled “Absolute doom.” If you’re into Marvel, you’ll probably love this season. This season centers around Marvel characters, especially Doctor Doom, and features new superhero-themed skins, powers, and map changes. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is scheduled to end it November 2, 2024.

When is the next Fortnite season?

The next Fortnite season is scheduled to begin between November 2 -4, 2024 (official dates are not confirmed yet). After the end of Chapter 5, Season 4 “Absolute Doom”, players can expect some server downtime while Epic Games prepares for the transition. The exact duration of this downtime typically varies, but it usually lasts several hours.

Before the next Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 5 release date, players will experience a brief return to Chapter 2 through another Fortnite OG event. This temporary nostalgic period will act as a bridge between Chapter 5 and Chapter 6, in the same way that the previous OG season connected Chapters 4 and 5.

As Fortnite continues to evolve, each new season and chapter brings exciting changes to the game. From map overhauls to innovative gameplay mechanics, Epic Games consistently works to keep the Fortnite experience fresh and engaging for its millions of players worldwide.
