There’s sure to be plenty to get excited about, and even if we are a little way off official reveals, we are aware of some rumours about what might be included in Chapter 5 Season 2.

Read on to find out the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 end date and time, when the Chapter 5 Season 2 release date should be and what you might expect from Chapter 5 Season 2.

When does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 end? Confirmed date

The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 end date is 7am on 8th March 2024 in the UK. For those in the US, Chapter 5 Season 1 is set to end at 2am ET on 8th March 2024/11pm PT on 7th March.

Timings for the end of the current Season are subject to change, it’s worth noting. Epic Games has changed the end date and times for previous seasons, including the last one of Chapter 4.

We’ll know for certain when the Chapter 5 Season 1 end date is in Fortnite as we near 7th/8th March 2024, and will update this page if anything changes.

When does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start? Estimated date

The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 release date should be on or around 8th March 2024. It all depends on the length of downtime that will take place upon the conclusion of Chapter 5 Season 1.

We could see downtime of just a few hours, or potentially a couple of days. We won’t know until just before the ending of Chapter 5 Season 1, when Epic Games should detail precisely when Chapter 5 Season 2 is set to begin.

Again, we’ll update this page with official confirmation of the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start time when Epic Games reveals the information, presumably on or around 8th March 2024.
