When Does Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 Start? - Dates & Times

Epic Games knows how to keep its popular battle royale alive, continually bringing new exciting content and features to the next update to Fortnite. These additions include a new map, points of interest, weapons, skins, and more. As a result, it's no surprise players keep returning to the popular battle royale game.

However, with Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 3 currently in full swing, many players wonder what the next seasonal update might have in store. But more importantly, players are left with the burning question: "When will Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 start?" Fortunately, we have the answer.

Updated on 11 August 2023: The next Fortnite patch (v26.00) will start on 25 August 2023. There will be server downtime, with matchmaking becoming disabled 30 minutes prior to the update being rolled out.

When Is Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 Starting?

Epic Games likes to keep the date and time of the next Fortnite season a surprise. However,  according to the date indicated on the Battle Pass, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 will go into downtime on 25 August 2023 at 2 a.m. ET, meaning the season will run for roughly three months (or 91 days).

It's standard for the next season to start several hours after downtime begins, which means that Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 will start on 25 August 2023 at around 6-8 a.m. ET.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 will start in approximately
21 days, 22:48:52

Players can expect to experience server downtime after the live event (assuming there is one), resulting in matchmaking being temporarily disabled and Fortnite servers not responding for several hours; this usually happens from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. ET (8 a.m. to 11 a.m. UTC), but it may begin earlier or later for any number of reasons.

However, once the server maintenance period is over, the next season of Fortnite will be live to play. Please note that Epic Games could change the start date and time of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 at any moment; in this regard, we will update this article with the appropriate changes.

And that's about it, I think. We will update this article with new information regarding the next Fortnite season's start date and time, so you might want to bookmark this article for easy future reference (you're welcome).
