Fortnite Event Schedule: Treasure Hours, Captain's Days & More

When is the next Treasure Hour in Fortnite?

Treasure Hours run every Saturday for the rest of the Treasure Hunters season, in two repeating windows: 2–4 PM ET and 9–11 PM ET — the late window is the one players shorthand as “9–11 PM.” Both windows carry the boosted chest rates (1.5x for the Pirate Shop Access token, 7.5x for the weekly gold outfit, 10x for the vehicle tier), and each event has its own theme that can nudge the multipliers — the season’s first was “Treasure Hours: Fortune.” If you are reading this on a Saturday, the next window is simply the earlier of the two you have not missed.

The full Treasure Hunters season calendar

Epic launched the mini-season on November 1, 2026 and pegged its finale to the Chapter 7 end event on December 5. Every dated moment announced so far:

Date (2026)	Event
Saturday, November 1	Season launch on Crossbones Isle · first Treasure Hours · first Sunday-cycle gold outfit reveal (Solid Gold Rugahand)
Saturday, November 1, 8, 12, 15, 22	Captain’s Days — new weapons and Sprites hit the map
Every Monday	Mastery Mondays — captain weapons at match start
Every Saturday	Treasure Hours — 2–4 PM ET and 9–11 PM ET, boosted odds
Sunday, November 8	Gold outfit reveal #2: Solid Gold Lil Uzi Vert
Thursday, November 12	Lil Uzi Vert captain cosmetics in the shop · Kasane Teto Music Pass opens
Saturday, November 15	Gold outfit reveal #3 (expected)
Sunday, November 22	Gold outfit reveal #4 (expected)
Sunday, November 29	Gold outfit reveal #5 (expected)
Saturday, December 5	Chapter 7 end event — season finale

Shop arrivals ride the same calendar: A$AP Rocky landed November 5, Zoro/Sanji/Chopper Sidekick November 7, Buggy November 13, and Cap’n Hatsune Miku November 14 — the running list lives on our item shop page.

What actually happens during a Treasure Hour?

Three things at once. Chest odds jump on the tiered multipliers — the full odds table breaks down every rate. Sprites get more active: the Fortune-themed hour boosted Fortune Sprite spawns, and Sprites feed the Sprite Dust economy that powers your Treasure tab progression. And matches start with a special loadout — the November 7 event dropped everyone in with A$AP Rocky’s Shock Rocket plus a Self-Revive Device, turning the grind sessions into genuinely different matches.

What time is 9 PM ET in my timezone?

The Treasure Hours are announced in US Eastern time, which sits at UTC-5 in November:

Local zone	2–4 PM ET window	9–11 PM ET window
UTC	19:00–21:00 Saturday	02:00–04:00 Sunday
UK (GMT)	19:00–21:00 Saturday	02:00–04:00 Sunday
Central Europe (CET)	20:00–22:00 Saturday	03:00–05:00 Sunday
Japan (JST)	04:00–06:00 Sunday	11:00–13:00 Sunday
US Pacific (PST)	11:00–13:00 Saturday	18:00–20:00 Saturday

The late window is brutal for Europe and Japan — that is exactly why the earlier 2 PM ET session exists, and why Saturday afternoon Pacific time is the friendliest slot on the calendar.

What is still ahead before the season ends?

Three Sundays of gold outfit reveals (November 15, 22, 29), at least two more Captain’s Days, weekly Treasure Hours through the end of the month — and the December 5 finale, which Epic is teasing as an unforgettable send-off for Chapter 7. One date matters more than any of them for token hunters: the first token’s validity window closes December 15, ten days after the season ends, so a find in the final weeks still has room to be spent. The second token waits in reserve for 2027. If you are still short on the math, start with how to hunt the token and keep the Pirate Shop rules handy for the moment one drops.
