Luckily, we don’t have to wait long to find out what the development team has cooked up, as the next Fortnite live event is set to take place on Saturday (August 10)!
A countdown timer has appeared in-game and below we have all the details about the next live event in Fortnite.
When is the next Fortnite live event?
The next Fortnite live event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 10, 7pm here in the UK (11am PT/2pm ET in the US).

After the v30.40 update, a live event countdown appeared in-game at Brutal Beachhead.
The countdown timer for the live event will expire on Saturday, August 10th at exactly 7 p.m. What the event will be is anyone’s guess – maybe it has something to do with Pandora’s Box?
Interestingly, Chapter 5, Season 3 is scheduled to last until August 16 at 7am, meaning we could have “mini-events” to conclude the season.
Whatever happens during the event, you won’t want to miss it. We recommend logging into the game at least half an hour before the Chapter 5 Season 3 live event (log in around 6:30 p.m. on August 10th, before the event starts at 7 p.m.)!
When was the last Fortnite live event?
The last Fortnite live event was the Sandstorm event, which took place at the end of Chapter 5, Season 2 between May 13 and May 23, 2024.
The statue of Olympus came to life and struck Pandora’s box with lightning. As the days went by, the sandstorm grew larger and closer to Battle Royale Island.
When the statue hit Pandora’s Box for the last time, everyone blew up and finally Chapter 5, Season 3 was born – and the Wasteland Warriors settled on the island.

How to participate in a Fortnite live event
To experience the next Fortnite live event, It is best to join a Battle Royale game before the event starts to experience it in its entirety.
In preparation for events, Epic often removes Fortnite experiences (like Creator Mode) until the event concludes, otherwise they will begin implementing the update.
We expect the next live event to be similar, but we recommend registering at least a few hours in advance if you’re serious about participating.
Fortnite is the most popular game in the world and often has long queues when players try to log into Epic’s servers, and we don’t want anyone to miss out.
