Here’s everything we know about any upcoming ones live events in Fortnite around the launch of Chapter 5 Season 2 and beyond.

When is the Fortnite live event?

While there is no official information about an upcoming live event, we know that Chapter 5, Season 1 will end March 8, 2024, at 7am UK time / 2am ET.

New seasons in Fortnite usually start shortly after the end of the previous season, and while the downtime for this season is expected to be longer, leaks suggest it will start on the same day.

Chapter 5 Season 2 is expected to begin March 8, 2024, around 11am-1pm UK time / 6-8am ET.

Actual timing may change depending on the downtime required to update the game for the next season.

How do you watch the Fortnite live event?

Since official details about a live event at the start of next season are scarce, we don’t know exactly when and where this could happen.

Leaks suggest that a new Olympus reference point (POI) is being added to the Battle Royale map, so this would be a likely spot for an upcoming live event during the new season.

Several new and returning collaborations could be coming to Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, and these could also be featured in upcoming live events.

A Kratos skin from the God of War series could make a comeback alongside his son Atreus, in line with the season’s Greek gods theme.

There are also rumors of a Persona 3 collaboration, and this seems likely due to the recent success of Persona 3 Reload and the popular Japanese RPG’s heavy Greek myth inspirations.

Rumor has it that the long-running pirate manga and anime series One Piece is also coming to Fortnite.
