Fortnite Events Schedule: The Final Shatter Spawn and What’s Coming Up

Fortnite’s final Shatter Spawn fight is live right now at the Monastery. From November 5, 2026 at 4 AM ET through November 12, 2026 at 4 AM ET, players can travel through the Portal into the Shatter Sanctum to take on a Shatter Spawn — Epic is billing it as the last of these battles and, for now, the final window to claim Golden Weapons. It lands as Chapter 7: Season 4, the video-games-and-gaming-legends season that began August 20, 2026 with a reshaped map, winds down. Here’s where things stand right now.

The next scheduled session is Treasure Hours: Fortune on November 7, 2026, a short buff playlist that runs in two rounds. Before that, the season’s five-day send-off, The Final Spritemare, wrapped on October 31, 2026. Epic’s status page shows servers running normally.

What’s worth your time

Live now: the final Shatter Spawn at the Monastery

This is the event to prioritize. Running from November 5, 2026 at 4 AM ET through November 12, 2026 at 4 AM ET, the fight sends players through the Portal at the Monastery into the Shatter Sanctum to banish a Shatter Spawn. Epic is framing it as the last of these battles and, at least for now, the final chance to claim Golden Weapons. Beat it and you earn the Nunchucks of Lightning and the Shurikens of Ice; the catch is that defeating the Shatter Spawn seals the Portal, so it’s a one-and-done run rather than something to farm. More than 4,000 players marked interest ahead of the opening. The week-long window means there’s no need to crowd in on the first day, but no follow-up is promised once it closes on November 12, 2026. Its exact times are in the schedule above.

Coming up: Treasure Hours: Fortune on November 7

The next thing on the calendar is a brief one. Treasure Hours: Fortune runs on November 7, 2026 in two rounds — an afternoon session starting at 2 PM ET and a late encore at 9 PM ET — in the mold of October’s weekend buff hours. Everyone drops in holding A$AP Rocky’s Shock Rocket and a Self-Revive Device, and Fortune Sprites surface more often for the duration. Only a few dozen players had marked interest as of this writing, a tiny fraction of the Shatter Spawn fight’s turnout, which fits an event like this: no exclusive unlock is attached, so it’s a reason to log in for the modified loadout rather than something to rearrange a weekend around. Its exact round times are in the schedule above.

Just wrapped: The Final Spritemare

Epic closed out the main stretch of Chapter 7: Season 4 with a five-day finale that ran continuously from the early hours of October 27, 2026 through the end of October 31, 2026. Unlike October’s tightly timed Power Hours, The Final Spritemare stayed active all day, every day across the five days, leaning on an exotic shake-up of the loot pool, Lucky Locators, rotating Sprite variant boosts, and double Sprite XP and Sprite Dust throughout. It drew a smaller crowd than the month’s marquee Power Hour — over 2,800 players marked interest ahead of time — but the doubled XP and Dust made it the most efficient stretch of the season for anyone chasing Sprite mastery. There’s nothing left to claim from it now.

The Halloween Power Hours that already wrapped

October ran on a weekend rhythm of two-hour buff sessions, and all of them are finished. The biggest was Power Hours: Community Sprites on October 24, 2026, which pulled nearly 13,000 marked players — the month’s largest turnout. It spotlighted player-designed Sprites from Epic’s Design-A-Sprite push (Onigiri, X-Ray, Pond, Dumpster Dive, and Honey) and their variants, dropped everyone in as one of Freddy’s Animatronics, and started each match with Finger Guns. The week before, Trick or Treat Sprites on October 17, 2026 handed out Freddy’s Nightmare for faster movement and raised how often the Trick or Treat Sprite variant appeared, drawing over 8,700 marked players. Nothing remains to claim from either.

Current season

Chapter 7: Season 4 launched August 20, 2026 with update v42.00, following Chapter 7: Season 3. It’s themed around video games and gaming legends, and it reshaped the map with new named locations — Green Hill Zone, Reality’s Reign, and Stone Sanctum — according to Fortnite Wiki’s season notes.

Fortnite Wiki listed the season ending October 31, 2026, the same day The Final Spritemare send-off wrapped. Epic’s calendar still carries dated events past that point — the final Shatter Spawn at the Monastery, live through November 12, 2026, and a Treasure Hours: Fortune session on November 7, 2026 — and the developer hasn’t confirmed the next season’s name. With the season’s close already behind that October 31 date, the practical move for anyone still finishing the Battle Pass is to wrap it up soon. We update this page as the schedule changes.

Frequently asked questions

When is the next Fortnite live event?

There’s a live event running right now. As of November 6, 2026, the final Shatter Spawn fight at the Monastery is open, and it stays open through November 12, 2026 at 4 AM ET. The next scheduled session after it is Treasure Hours: Fortune on November 7, 2026, a short two-round buff playlist. Exact start and end times are in the schedule above.

How long do Fortnite’s events last?

It depends on the event. October’s weekend Power Hours each ran about two hours, split across an afternoon round and a late-night encore, and the Treasure Hours: Fortune session on November 7, 2026 follows the same short two-round shape. Others run far longer — the season’s Final Spritemare send-off spanned five full days, and the current Shatter Spawn fight stays open for a full week. For any specific event, check its window in the schedule above.

Is Fortnite down right now?

As of November 6, 2026, Epic’s status page shows servers running normally. Server status can shift quickly around events and updates, so if something seems off, check the server state in the schedule above before assuming the issue is on your end.

When does the current Fortnite season end?

Chapter 7: Season 4 began August 20, 2026, and Fortnite Wiki listed it ending October 31, 2026 — the day The Final Spritemare send-off wrapped.
