Interest in the next Fortnite live event is beginning to build already, even though it's currently a long way off. Thanks to information announced during the Star Wars Celebration Japan event on April 20, we have an unprecedented lead time on the next live event as the Death Star Sabotage is due to take place on June 7, 2025. This will provide an epic conclusion to the Star Wars-themed Fortnite Season 3 of Chapter 6, as players work together to take down the orbital superweapon and save the galaxy. To find out more, here's everything we know so far about the next Fortnite live event.

What time is the Fortnite live event

The next Fortnite live event will be starting at some point on Saturday June 7, 2025, and based on previous events this is likely to begin around midday PDT, mid-afternoon EDT, and evening BST. We will know more information closer to the time, and you can expect an in-game countdown to appear as that date draws near to indicate exactly when things are set to begin.

We don't know much about the next Fortnite live event at this stage, other than that it's titled Death Star Sabotage and will provide the conclusion to the Star Wars-themed Season 3. Of course, from that name alone you will have some idea of the situation you'll be getting into, so expect an action-packed finale. The official announcement describes this as "an in-game narrative live event that will surely have players feeling like they’ve got the fate of the whole galaxy in their hands", which definitely sounds like something to look forward to.

That's everything we know for now, but I'll keep this guide updated with further developments as they happen.
