Fortnite began its first season in 2017, and there have been many more since, including the latest season, Chapter Six, season three. There have been plenty of unique Chapters and seasons, and always more on the horizon.
Epic Games has successfully built on and improved Fortnite for over 30 seasons, introducing new weapons, characters, cosmetics, consumables, exclusive events, and entirely new games. Because of this, the start of a new Fortnite season is always a treat for battle royale fans. You also might want to look back at all the content released so far, though, so here are all the start and end dates for every Fortnite season.

When does Fortnite Chapter 6, season 4 end?
Fortnite Chapter Six, season four, will end on Nov. 1, 2025. This date is listed as the end date of the current battle pass, and all seasons conclude as soon as their battle passes end.
How long do Fortnite seasons last?
Regular Fortnite seasons last around three months. Certain special seasons, like Chapter Two Remix and Chapter Six Galactic Battle, last for less time and have shorter battle passes to go with them. Other seasons, like Chapter Five, season one, and Chapter Four, season two, last a bit longer. There’s always a chance for any season to go for longer or shorter than expected, but on average, you can expect most regular seasons to last about three full months.
What theme is the next Fortnite season?
The theme for the next season of Fortnite hasn’t been officially revealed, but there have been some speculations and possible hints that it might be based on the The Simpsons collaboration, similar to Marvel and other IP-related seasons. While it could be the start of chapter seven, or we could also have a mini season like Star Wars, before going back to normal seasons.
Fortnite always features a special theme for every season, and based on recent leaks from HYPEX, you can always rely on it to know what the developers are cooking for the next season.
What were the best chapters/seasons?
For many Fortnite players, Chapter Two, Season Two, Chapter Four, OG, and Chapter Two, Season Four are all remembered by the community for the world, themes, and characters they introduced.
I remember the Marvel season the most during Chapter Two, but something about the first Chapter was magical. The community was at its peak; there was a lot of experimentation, and every season added something neat, like Season Six adding pets—and who remembers when events on the map happened for the first time? That was all magical and memorable. It doesn’t feel like Fortnite ever got back to that feeling until season four’s OG chapter, which brought a lot of folks back to the game for the first time.
