Basketball: Zero Scary Monster Limited: Schedule, Times & Next Countdown
Scary Monster Limited is a recurring limited-cosmetic drop in Basketball: Zero, the hoops game that has racked up well over a billion visits and keeps thousands of players on the court at any given moment — around about 8,000 in a live session, against more than two million favorites. Each time the event comes around it reopens a rotating set of themed styles, a limited shop, and a spin-the-wheel reward for a short stretch before everything is locked away again.
It isn’t a one-off. Scary Monster Limited returns on a steady rhythm, so a style you missed on an earlier run has another chance to resurface. The next return and its usual time slots sit on the card below, along with our best estimate for when it comes back next.

How often Scary Monster Limited runs
The event runs on roughly a every ~34 days cycle — close to five weeks between returns — and it has come around 2 times so far. The next one is projected for Thursday, November 19 at 4:24 PM ET. That date is our best estimate drawn from the event’s usual rhythm; we confirm it once the developer posts the next run.
When it runs around the world
A run doesn’t open at a single moment. It uses two staggered slots across the weekend, spaced so players in far-apart regions each get a reachable time rather than everyone being forced onto one hour that only suits North America:
- Fridays, 3:00 PM ET
- Saturdays, 12:30 PM ET
Converted to the major regions, the Friday slot lands around noon on the US West Coast, 8:00 PM in the UK, 9:00 PM across much of Europe, 12:30 AM in India, roughly 4:00 AM in Japan and about 6:00 AM in eastern Australia (the last three rolling into Saturday). The Saturday slot falls near 9:30 AM Pacific, 5:30 PM UK, 6:30 PM in Europe, 10:00 PM in India, and the small hours of Sunday in Japan and Australia. Between the two, almost every time zone has a window inside its waking hours.
What’s in Scary Monster Limited
The draw is the cosmetics. Each run brings a batch of themed styles back into circulation — collaboration looks that cycle in and out rather than staying on sale — bundled with a few ways to earn them:
- A rotating lineup of returning limited styles to claim or buy
- A limited shop stocked only for the duration of the run
- A spin-the-wheel reward for a chance at extra items
- New style quests that unlock looks through play rather than purchase
- A community follow goal that, when hit, unlocks a free code for everyone
Tips for catching it
Pick whichever of the two slots sits in your daytime — the Saturday afternoon ET window is the friendlier one for European and Asian players, while the Friday slot suits the Americas. Because items here are limited, it’s worth logging in early in the run to clear the style quests before the shop closes. And if you miss it entirely, there’s no need to rush: the event returns on its usual cycle, so the next window is only about five weeks away.
How it fits Basketball: Zero’s event rhythm
Scary Monster Limited is one of a family of limited-drop events the developer rotates through Basketball: Zero. Past entries like the Vampire Limited, Johnny Limited and Valentine Limited returns followed the same shape — a themed set of styles brought back for a short window — which is what makes this one predictable: it behaves like its siblings, surfacing on a cadence rather than a fixed calendar date. If you’ve chased any of those earlier drops, you already know the drill here.
