Fortnite Chapter 4 – Season 4 is just around the corner. Epic Games will release the new season of the popular game in late August, which is why many players are excited. However, many players are still confused regarding the exact release date and start time.

This article will reveal when Fortnite Chapter 4 – Season 4 will come out in every major region. You can also check out all the leaks for the new season and a massive change that may arrive with it. The Battle Pass and all in-game changes haven’t been leaked yet, but we’re sure that Epic has prepared a lot of content for Fortnite fans and players.

Note: The start time of the new Fortnite season is based on the information provided by Epic Games. There is a chance that Epic postpones a new season, and in that case, we will update the article with the latest news

PDATE: Epic Games just confirmed the exact start date. Instead of 2 AM, the new season will come out at 3 AM.

What time does the new Fortnite season come out?

The current Fortnite season will end on Friday, August 25, at 3 AM Eastern Time. This means that the next season will be released right away. However, it’s important to note that Chapter 4 – Season 4 won’t be available immediately. Instead, Epic Games will have a server downtime that will last for a few hours.

At 3 AM ET, you will be able to download the new update and play the video game once the servers get back up. Here is the start time of Fortnite Chapter 4 – Season 4 for every major region:

  • Pacific Time: 12 AM
  • Mountain Time: Friday, 1 AM
  • Central Time: 2 AM
  • Eastern Time: 3 AM
  • UTC: 7 AM
  • British Time: 8 AM
  • Central European Time: 9 AM
  • India Time: 12:30 AM
  • Japan Time: 4 PM
  • Australian Eastern Time: 6 PM
  • New Zealand Time: 7 PM

These start dates come from an official confirmation from Epic Games. Considering that the current season of Fortnite ends at this time, it makes sense for Epic to release a new season right then since there is no live event.

New Fortnite season – Start time in the US
