Are you eagerly anticipating the start of the next Fortnite season? Chapter 5 Season 3 has introduced some exciting features like nitro and cars, offering players plenty of fun. However, some may feel that the current season has strayed far from the traditional core gameplay of Fortnite. If you’re one of those players yearning for a return to more familiar gameplay, the upcoming big update may be just what you’re looking for.
The gameplay in the current season may feel different, but Fortnite is known for constantly evolving and shaking things up. The next season is expected to bring significant changes and move away from the car-centric theme of the current season. Each Fortnite season usually marks a major shift from its predecessor. If you’re wondering when the next season will begin, here’s what we know about the season-end schedule.

When is the Next Fortnite Season?
The next Fortnite season is set to begin on August 16, 2024.
This upcoming season will be Chapter 5 Season 3. The date is based on the internal Battle Pass end dates in-game. While Epic Games doesn’t initially announce season-end dates, players can gauge the end of the season through the Battle Pass expiration. Since players need to progress through the Battle Pass, its expiration serves as a countdown to the season’s end.
However, these dates are subject to change. Seasons can sometimes be delayed or moved up. The safest assumption for now is August 16, but a slight delay of a few hours or even a day is always a possibility. In the past, seasons like Chapter 5 Season 2 have been delayed by a day due to technical issues during game updates.
What Can We Expect Next Season?
As the next Fortnite season draws near, what can we expect from the upcoming update? Chapter 5 Season 4 is on the horizon, and leaks have provided insights into the content to come.
The next season is anticipated to feature a massive Fortnite Marvel collaboration. Similar to Chapter 2 Season 4, superheroes will dominate the theme, with characters like Doctor Doom playing significant roles.
While the season won’t kick off until August, leaks suggest that it will be the final season of Chapter 5 before transitioning to OG Round 2 and then Chapter 6. Players eagerly awaiting the next season should savor their time in the current map, as the countdown to the new season begins.
