The next Fortnite live event is around the corner! Epic Games will release it this weekend, and it will likely introduce us to the next season. Chapter 5 has had several events so far, but none of them have been classic live events. Due to this, we expect millions of players to get into the game on the weekend and witness another milestone in Fortnite’s storyline.
In this article, we will reveal the exact date and time of the upcoming Fortnite live event in every region. Make sure to set a reminder so you don’t miss it!
When does the next Fortnite live event start?
Epic Games mostly uses Eastern Time for live events in the game. The next event is scheduled for Saturday at 2 PM Eastern Time, and you can see its countdown in the game as well. However, if you’d like to know what time it begins in your region, you can check the table below.
| Time Zone | Release Time |

In addition to this, you can go to Brutal Beachhead in the game to see the countdown timer. When the timer hits zero, the event will begin.
With Chapter 5 Season 4 starting on August 16, the last week of the current season will be very exciting. However, if you decide to watch the event, make sure to get in Fortnite at least 30 minutes before it begins.
