Fortnite’s Simpsons season wraps on November 29, 2025. A chapter-ending live event is set for the same day, capping a month-long Springfield takeover with a new island, a themed Battle Pass, and weekly animated shorts that have paced out the season’s updates.
Key dates and what happens
| Date | What to expect |
|---|---|
| November 1 | Simpsons season launches; Springfield Island enters Battle Royale; first animated short (“Apocalypse D’Oh”). |
| November 7 | Additional Sidekicks arrive in the Shop; Peels remains the Battle Pass Sidekick. |

| November 24 | Animated short: “The Incredible Bulk”. |
| November 29 | Season ends with a chapter-ending live event. |
What ends with the season
This is a self-contained, limited-time season. Progress on the Springfield Battle Pass, island quests, and access to Simpsons-themed rewards tied to the pass are all confined to this window. If there’s an item or cosmetic you’ve been targeting, plan to unlock it before November 29.
Springfield Battle Pass and Sidekicks
The Springfield Battle Pass features playable locals like Homer, Marge, and Flanders, as well as crossover twists on Fortnite staples (Blinky Fishstick and Springfielder Peely). It also introduces Sidekicks, with Peels available through the pass and more Sidekicks becoming available in the Shop starting November 7.
Weekly animated shorts cadence
Four original Simpsons shorts run in-game during the season and mirror the weekly updates. You can watch them from the Quests tab under Animated Shorts, with additional availability on Disney+. Each short highlights that week’s mechanics or gags on Springfield Island, and their dates are listed in the table above.
Claim the Kang and Kodos Glider (account linking)
You can secure a limited-time reward tied to this season by linking your Epic and MyDisney accounts. Connect the accounts in Epic’s Apps and Accounts settings to add the Kang and Kodos Glider to your locker. The linking window runs until February 28, 2026 (ET). Once your accounts are linked, the glider is slated to arrive before November 15.
Note: If you’ve already linked accounts, no further action is needed.
Live event basics
The season finale includes a chapter-ending live event on November 29. Expect the usual one-time spectacle format. Event specifics are communicated in-game; watch for an event playlist and lobby notice on the day. Plan to log in early to avoid queues and make sure your Battle Pass goals are wrapped ahead of time.
Bottom line: Fortnite’s Simpsons season is designed as a tight, monthlong arc. If you’re chasing the last cosmetics, catching the final animated short, or planning to be there when Springfield bows out, the hard stop is November 29.
