Like so many other games, Apex Legends from Respawn Entertainment runs on seasonal content events. This lets players enjoy new content, play new modes, and earn ranks to progress through the season while keeping content fresh.
While there is plenty of other things like codes to keep fans entertained, the seasons bring a host of new rewards each time there is an update to keep the game from feeling stale and dying out. That’s why fans are so excited to know when they can expect the newest season.
Need to know when the next Apex Legend Season begins? That’s what we’re here for. We’ve got all the info you need right here.
When does the next Apex Legends Season start?
There is no official release date yet, but the newest season of Apex Legends, Season 18, will likely begin on August 8. Season 17 will come to an end they day before, and the new Season 18 should quickly take its place. This is confirmed through the in-game battle pass as well as the official website.
This date comes from the countdown timer for Season 17’s battle pass, which the timer counts down to when the rewards for the current season will expire. New seasonal content takes its place, which indicates the launch of Season 18 will begin when the timer for Season 17 runs out. Updates for Apex Legends are done on Tuesdays, which also matches up with the countdown timer.
Season 18 of Apex Legends
Season 18 will be the newest season to update Apex Legends, with plenty of new content to enjoy, including a new battle pass and new cosmetics to be earned. Patch notes also release around this time for the balance changes that come to the game.
No trailer has been released for the newest season yet, but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating what content could be added to the game, including a ranked update, new game modes, or a new map to go along with existing ones like Kings Canyon, Broken Moon, and World’s Edge map.
Fans also hope for new weapons to be added for a more diverse arsenal at the firing range and in-game. However, new weapons aren’t guaranteed, and often many seasons go by before a new one is introduced. Nemesis, the latest weapon to be added to Apex Legends, was added back in Season 16, but before then, the game had gone five seasons without a new gun introduced. While this does give fans time to reach weapon mastery for each, players are never upset to have more.
Another feature that may or may not be coming is a new Legend, the Apex games’ term for playable characters with special abilities to harness in matches. Another addition that is not guaranteed for each season, it doesn’t stop fans from hoping from both leaks and official trailers.

What will be in the next Apex Legends Season?
Season 18 will contain new cosmetics and skins, a new battle pass, and balance changes. Other features such as new characters, weapons, and maps could be coming, but there is nothing official yet.
