Sprite Spree Week is the closing stretch of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3, a five-day run from August 15 to August 19, 2026 that spotlights one rare Sprite variant per day with sharply increased spawn rates. It exists to give players a final window to fill collection gaps in Galaxy, Holofoil, Cube, and Gem variants before the season ends.
Quick answer: Mythic Sprite Hours run in two sessions on Saturday, August 15 (11 AM–1 PM PT and 6 PM–8 PM PT). From August 16 onward, each variant gets a full 24-hour window starting at 6 AM PT: Galaxy on the 16th, Holofoil on the 17th, Cube on the 18th, and Gem on the 19th.
Full Sprite Spree Week schedule
Mythic Hours is the only event split into two sessions on the same day. Every other variant gets a single 24-hour block that rolls straight into the next one, so Galaxy ends exactly when Holofoil begins, Holofoil ends when Cube begins, and so on. The season then closes with Chapter 7 Season 4 downtime.

Mythic Sprite Hours start times by region
The first Mythic session lines up with the Unstable Story Moment live event, so it is the one to plan around if you want both at once. The second session lands later the same evening for North America and spills into August 16 for most other regions.

|---|---|---|
| PT | Aug 15, 11:00 AM | Aug 15, 6:00 PM |

Galaxy, Holofoil, Cube, and Gem hours start times
From August 16 onward, every daily variant event begins at the same clock time and runs for exactly 24 hours. Match the date from the schedule above with the start time below for your region, and the window stays open all the way until the next variant takes over.
| Time zone | Daily start time |
|---|---|
| PT | 6:00 AM |
| ET | 9:00 AM |
| CET (CEST) | 3:00 PM |

Bonuses active from August 16 to 19
Alongside the raised spawn rates, four modifiers run across the daily variant events. The Campfire boost is the notable one because it stacks on top of the base multiplier, pushing your Sprite XP to as much as 4x when you rest at a Campfire during a match.
| Bonus | Effect |
|---|---|
| 2x Sprite XP | Doubles Sprite XP across the board |
| Zero Sprite Dust Resummons | Bring back any lost Sprite without spending Sprite Dust |
| Free Lucky Locators | Handed out at the start of every match to track nearby Sprites |
| 2x Campfire XP | Doubles Campfire Sprite XP, stacking with the base 2x for up to 4x total |
Do your Sprites carry into Season 4?
Yes. Every Sprite you collect during Chapter 7 Season 3 carries over into Chapter 7 Season 4 (Override) and stays available through the new Sprite Garden feature. Your existing collection is safe once the season flips.
The catch is that the specific Season 3 variants stop being catchable once Season 4 goes live. A new generation of Sprites arrives with Override, including the five winners from the Design-a-Sprite contest, and the current Galaxy, Holofoil, Cube, and Gem variants will no longer spawn. Spree Week is the last window to complete the current set, so if a variant is still missing, the daily windows through August 19 are where to hunt it down before the Season 4 downtime begins on August 20.
