When is the next Fortnite season? Chapter 7 Season 1 release date
How long to go?
It's nearly the end of The Simpsons mini-season, and indeed Chapter 6. The next Fortnite season – Chapter 7 – is almost upon us!
Chapter 6 gave us everything from Superman and Star Wars to Power Rangers and TMNT, so Chapter 7 has a lot to live up to.
And it l0oks like we're getting off to a great start, as we aren't just getting one crossover, but multiple, thanks to a very cinematic season.
But when does the next Fortnite season start? Here's everything you need to know about the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 release date and what to expect!
When does the next Fortnite season start? Chapter 7 Season 1 release date
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 is currently scheduled to begin on Saturday 29th November 2025.
This coincides with the end of the ongoing Simpsons mini-season, which is set to conclude at 2pm GMT on the same date with a brand-new live event, which will likely last between 15 and 30 minutes.
As for the specific time that Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 will release, we think that, assuming we get 2-3 hours of downtime following the conclusion of the live event, we predict that Chapter 7 Season 1 will begin at 10pm GMT, give or take 30 minutes or so.
Here's what that looks like in your time zone:
- US West Coast (PST) – 2pm
- US Mountain (MST) – 3pm
- US Central (CST) – 4pm
- US East Coast (EST) – 5pm
- Central Europe (CET) – 11pm
- Singapore (SGT) – 6am, 30th November
- Tokyo (JST) – 7am, 30th November
- Australia East Coast (AEDT) – 9am, 30th November
- New Zealand (NZDT) – 11am, 30th November
It's important to note that, at the time of writing, these timings are speculation – given this is the start of an entirely new Chapter, we wouldn't be surprised to see the downtime between seasons take longer than usual, so bear that in mind!
What to expect from Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1
We don't know anything for sure about Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 so far, but thanks to leaks, we do have a rough idea of some of the things that may be featured, with the whole season reportedly set to have a Hollywood theme.
A leaked Battle Pass appears to include both The Bride from the Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill, as well as Marty McFly, the protagonist of the Back to the Future series.
The map will reportedly be a desert setting based on Nevada with buildings and POIs styled on Nevada, Los Angeles and Hollywood, with the Hollywood Sign and Area 51 both featuring.
