Vanguards Events Schedule: 2nd Anniversary Recap and What’s Next
Vanguards marked two years on Roblox with its 2nd Anniversary update, a three-day celebration that ran from October 9 to October 12, 2026. It was the game’s marquee event of the season, and now that it has wrapped there is nothing new on the calendar just yet. This page covers where Vanguards’ events stand and recaps what the anniversary included.
The summoning-and-tower-defense experience remains one of Roblox’s heavyweights. It has drawn more than about 2,100,000,000 visits over its lifetime, sits at roughly about 2,000,000 favorites, and still holds a crowd of around about 35,000 players at a time — numbers that keep it among the platform’s most-played games.
Last updated October 22. We update this page as new Vanguards events are announced.

The 2nd Anniversary update
Vanguards built its 2nd Anniversary around the game’s two-year milestone, releasing it as a new-content update rather than a brief side event. The team framed it as a thank-you to players for two years and an update it hoped the community would enjoy. It ran for three days, opening October 9, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET and closing October 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET.
Interest ran high. More than about 230,000 players marked themselves as going before it opened, making it the standout event on the game’s recent calendar by a wide margin.
When it ran
The event opened at 7:00 PM ET on October 9 and closed at the same hour three days later, on October 12 — a full 72-hour window. In other zones, the 7:00 PM ET start landed at 4:00 PM PT and, in the UK, at midnight BST on the night of October 9 into October 10 (1:00 AM CEST in central Europe).
