Confirmed
Epic Games officially confirms a Chapter 7 end event on Saturday, December 5, 2026. One published guide independently reports the same season end date based on the in-game Battle Pass.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Live Event
Epic has confirmed a Chapter 7 end event for Saturday, December 5. The start time, event format, queue window and exact story details have not been announced.
Quick answer: The date is confirmed; the time is not. Finish time-limited quests and collect your Map Fragments before event day rather than waiting for an unannounced start hour.

Start time: not announced
Epic's announcement tells players to keep Saturday, December 5 open, but gives no hour. Any exact event time, queue-open time or duration shown elsewhere should be treated as unconfirmed until Epic publishes it.
What to finish before the event
- Collect every available Map Fragment. Guide sources say all six unlock the X Marks the Zero Point Sliver loading screen.
- Check the in-game Adventure and quest tabs. Use their timers and completion counters as the final authority.
- Claim completed rewards. Do not assume an earned reward will remain claimable after the season transition.
- Review Battle Pass progress and other limited-time tasks. This site does not guess which unfinished items will carry over.
- Plan to finish on December 4 if possible. One published guide recommends treating it as the last full game day; that is advice, not an official cut-off.
