When does Fortnite Chapter 7 start? Date, times, and everything we know

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 begins this week, and Epic Games’ popular video game will bid farewell to its entertaining Simpsons-themed season. This article provides all the key details, including the start date and times, and everything that has been revealed so far. Let’s get started:

When does Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 start? Date and times

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 begins on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 9:30 AM ET. This date and time correspond to the following times across the United States:

• 9:30 PM ET
• 8:30 PM CT
• 6:30 PM PT

Please note that you must first download the latest game update. In addition, the servers may remain offline for several hours after this date and time. In this case, you will have to wait for them to come back online while Epic Games finalizes preparations for the new content and implements the new 39.00 patch for the game.

The current mini-season of ‘The Simpsons’ will end one day earlier, on Saturday the 29th, with the Zero Hour event, which will be held at 2:00 PM ET. In this other news, you will find all the relevant details about it.

What is the story behind Fortnite Chapter 7? How does it tie in with the mini-season of ‘The Simpsons’?

The Zero Hour event will explain, in great detail, how we get from the mini-season of ‘The Simpsons’ to Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1. The interdimensional demon that arrived on the island in the Kang and Kodos event is very tough to defeat, requiring the collaboration of many unexpected allies: Godzilla, Kong, the Power Rangers’ Megazord, and even a giant Homer Simpson after he swallowed a fragment of the Zero Point.

In the official teaser for the event, we see several of the new outfits that will be arriving in the next season, such as the Bride from Kill Bill, and even Marty McFly’s DeLorean from Back to the Future. Everything points to the event being a unique and spectacular occasion, which will give way to a greater emphasis on narrative in the new season.

Furthermore, given the chapter number, it is known—thanks to numerous teasers and hints in the video game itself—that The Seven will return after several years of absence from the game’s narrative. The narrative thread in which The Foundation, its visible head, leads players in an all-out war against The Last Reality, a threat so dangerous that it could engulf the entire omniverse, will likely be revisited.
