When is the next Fortnite season? Chapter 7 Season 2 release date

We're coming to the end of this season, and while it's been a great one, you might have found yourself asking an important question: when does the next Fortnite season start?

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is on the way, and we're hoping it's going to be even better than Season 1.

We've got a live event to go before things kick off, with one Ben Starr joining the fray, so there's plenty to be excited for.

But for all the news on the Chapter 7 Season 2 release date, here's the goss on when the next Fortnite season will start.

When does the next Fortnite season start? Chapter 7 Season 2 release date

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 is currently scheduled to begin on Wednesday 18 March 2026.

This coincides with the end of Season 1, which is set to conclude on the same date with a brand-new live event, which will likely last between 15 and 30 minutes.

This also means this will be the last day that you can level up the Season 1 Battle Pass, so make sure you've unlocked everything you want before then!

As for the specific time that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 will release, we won't know until closer to the date, when we have more details.

What do we know about Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2?

At the time of writing, we don't know anything at all about Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2.

Epic Games hasn't announced anything yet, but perhaps more surprisingly, we haven't even had any leaks to provide hints.

Of course, we'll get changes to the map, a new Battle Pass with plenty of new cosmetics to unlock, and a bunch of new and returning items to the game – that's par for the course with any Fortnite season, after all!

We'll be updating this page as soon as we know more, so be sure to check back later!
