Recent live events have featured Daft Punk, Superman, Star Wars and more, but the next one is set to bring a crossover that players have been waiting years for.
It's going to be a big one, so if you want to know when the next Fortnite live event starts, here's what you need to know!

When was the last Fortnite live event?
The most recent Fortnite live event took place on 27th September 2025 as part of Chapter 6 Season 4.
The Daft Punk Experience brought the iconic French electronic duo to the game, showcasing their music in a number of ways.
Creating an "immersive playground," it offered players a few different areas based on their biggest hits like Around the World and Robot Rock.
How to join a Fortnite live event
To experience the next Fortnite live event, it's best to join a game of Battle Royale before the event is due to begin to experience it in its entirety.
In preparation for events, Epic often takes down Fortnite experiences (like creator mode) until the event's conclusion as it begins to work on implementing the update.
We suspect it will play out much the same way for the next live event, though we'd recommend logging on at least a couple of hours early if you are serious about attending it.
As the most popular game in the world, Fortnite commonly receives huge queues as players attempt to sign on to Epic's servers, so whatever you do, always sign on early to not miss out.
Fortnite is available via the Epic Games Store across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
