When does the new season of ‘The Simpsons’ start in Fortnite? Date and times

The new Fortnite season is just around the corner, kicking off this week. As has been the norm for several years now, it won’t be a typical season, but rather a month-long mini-season that will also feature some very special guests: instead of being a temporary return to a past era of the game, it will be a Simpsons-themed event, with new outfits such as Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa, and the map will be the city of Springfield itself. In this news item, we answer all the relevant questions, including when it starts, dates, times, and more.

Date and start times for the new season of “The Simpsons” in Fortnite

The new season of Fortnite begins next Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 11:00 AM ET. This date and time corresponds to the following times across the United States:

• 11:00 AM ET
• 10:00 AM CT
• 8:00 AM PT

To enjoy the new season’s content, we will need to download patch 38.00, which will bring all the new features. Once this is done, we will have to wait a few hours for Epic Games to reset the servers after implementing all these changes. In the worst-case scenario, if there are any unforeseen problems, Fortnite may be offline for a day or even longer. You can check the status of the service on the Fortnite Status profile on X or on its official website.

It should be noted that half an hour before the start of the season, there will be a Kang and Kodos event that will serve to justify the arrival of all this content in the game.

What is the new season of Fortnite about, and how did The Simpsons end up on the island?

The new Simpsons-themed mini-season will last until the end of November and will feature a new map with many iconic locations from the city of Springfield. Leaked artwork shows not only several of the new outfits available in the game, such as Homer, Marge, Bart, and Lisa, but also that we will be able to control other characters such as Moe, Krusty, and Ned Flanders. There are also two new remix outfits: a Simpsons-style Banana and a hybrid between Fishstick and the three-eyed mutant fish from the animated series.

Among the locations to visit are Moe’s Bar, King Toot’s Music Store, Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, and Fortnite’s Burd gas stations, which have now been merged with Apu’s Kwik-E-Mart and renamed “Burd-E-Mart.” The arrival of all this content in Fortnite is justified as yet another outrage by the aliens Kang and Kodos, who are back up to their old tricks, causing chaos in their wake.

To whet your appetite for the arrival of the new season, there are little nods on the current game map, such as a very low chance of seeing the aliens Kang and Kodos at the start of each game, or even Bart’s treehouse in a remote location on the map.
