All good things must come to an end, and Fortnite seasons are no exception. So whether you’ve seen all that the current season has to offer and are excited for what’s next, or you’re scrambling to finish your battle pass before it disappears forever, you should know exactly when the season is set to complete.

That’s why we’ve put together a handy guide to tell you everything you need to know about when the current season of Fortnite is set to finish, so you can get yourself ready for all the new content we’ll get in the next one – let’s take a look.

When does this Fortnite season end?

Chapter 5 Season 3 of Fortnite is currently scheduled to end at 11pm ET on Thursday 15 August 2024 / 4am BST on Friday 16 August 2024. This date has been confirmed, being shown in the corner of the battle pass screen in-game. While it’s scheduled to end at 11am ET / 4am BST, this time has been altered slightly in the past. So while it’s highly likely that this will be the final confirmed end date and time, be aware that there is a chance this could change slightly closer to the date itself.

This end date would make Chapter 5 Season 3 only 70 days long, making it the shortest season in Chapter 5, and the shortest since Season OG at the end of last year which only lasted a mere 29 days. So if you haven’t finished up your Battle Pass yet, be sure to jump on some XP maps to get yourself those last few levels.

We predict that the next season of Fortnite will start on August 16, 2024, but this has not been confirmed yet. It can be hard to know when Fortnite seasons will start this far in advance, as some seasons have begun only a few hours after the end of the previous one, while others have taken several days to arrive. For the moment, we assume it will start on the same day, but will update this guide as and when we know more.
