Death Ball New Champion: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
Death Ball keeps its lineup growing through New Champion, the event that brings a brand-new playable character into the game. Rather than a one-off reveal, it has settled into a recurring milestone: every so often the roster competitive players draw from gets a fresh face, and the community starts watching for the next one well ahead of time.
The game is one of Roblox’s heavyweights, with over 1.6 billion visits (about 1,600,000,000), nearly 1.8 million favorites (about 1,800,000), and thousands of players in matches at any given moment (about 8,000). New Champion arrives on a steady, roughly half-yearly rhythm, so there is always a next one on the horizon.

How often New Champion runs — and the launch times
New Champion lands on a every ~182 days cadence — a little over twice a year. It has run 2 times so far, and the next one is expected around Saturday, November 14 at 10:30 AM ET. That date is our best estimate from the event’s usual rhythm, and we confirm it once the developer posts the next release.
When it launches, it opens across two back-to-back Saturday-morning windows, an hour apart. Because a single fixed time never suits every region, the spread below shows both windows across the major world clocks. All times are in Eastern Time first, then converted.
| Region | First window | Second window |
|---|---|---|
| US Eastern (ET) | 10:30 AM Sat | 11:30 AM Sat |
| UK (GMT) | 3:30 PM Sat | 4:30 PM Sat |
| Central Europe (CET) | 4:30 PM Sat | 5:30 PM Sat |
| India (IST) | 9:00 PM Sat | 10:00 PM Sat |
| Japan (JST) | 12:30 AM Sun | 1:30 AM Sun |
| Australia (AEDT) | 2:30 AM Sun | 3:30 AM Sun |
The next time and the usual windows are on the card above.
What happens in New Champion
Each New Champion event centers on one thing: a new character joining the playable roster. In practice that means:
- A new champion added to the selection screen, with its own kit and playstyle for players to learn.
- A fresh option to fold into ranked and casual matches once it is unlocked.
- A shake-up to how the current champion pool plays, since a new pick changes the matchups regulars have gotten used to.
Because the roster only grows on this half-yearly schedule, each addition tends to stay relevant for a long stretch rather than being swapped out quickly.
Tips for catching it
- Pick the window that falls in daytime for you — for most of the Americas and Europe the Saturday slots are convenient, while players in Asia and Australia should plan for a late-night or early-morning session.
- If both windows are awkward, there is no rush to be there at the exact minute; a new champion stays in the game after launch, so you can try it whenever you next log in.
- Set a reminder for the projected date, then check back as it nears in case the developer shifts the schedule.
How New Champion fits Death Ball’s calendar
New Champion is the slow, marquee beat in a calendar that otherwise moves quickly. Around champion releases, Death Ball has also run other events like Ranked Season 10, New Packs, the Pixel Pass, and Sword Duels — all of which have since ended. A champion drop stands out as the rare moment the core roster itself changes rather than the rewards or modes around it.
