Fortnite and The Simpsons joined forces for an epic season of Battle Royale. Between chapters, Epic Games tends to host shorter seasons called mini-seasons, and that is the case with The Simpsons season. Therefore, its run time will be much shorter compared to standard seasons.

Fortnite Simpsons Mini-Season End Date & Time

When Does the Fortnite Simpsons Season End?

Fortnite's current season features a Simpsons-themed Battle Pass, filled with known characters and items from the show. Players who want to obtain all of the items in the pass need to make sure that they reach Level 70 before the season ends. The standard Battle Pass page requires players to reach Level 50. However, they will have to go the extra mile and continue to earn XP in Fortnite if they want to claim the items in the Bonus Rewards page, such as the Evil Homer style.

The Simpsons mini-season will be live in Fortnite until November 29, 2025. The live event is scheduled for 2 PM and downtime for the new season is expected to start right after. The in-game Battle Pass page, which initially said the pass would be available until November 29 at 2:30 AM ET, now says 2 PM ET on the same day.

Whenever there is a season change in Fortnite, the next season tends to begin as soon as downtime ends and servers come back up. Downtime should take a bit longer since the update patch file is expected to be larger, but Chapter 7 should begin on November 29, 2025.

Recent leaks and rumors indicate that players should expect downtime to last between 7 to 8 hours, meaning they'd be able to log back into Fortnite at around 10-11 PM ET.
