The next Fortnite live event is rapidly approaching, so excitement is building as we get closer to the big day. Unlike some previous events, we've known about this one for a quite a while as it was first revealed during the Star Wars Celebration Japan event way back on April 20, which means anticipation is running high as the Star Wars-themed mini-season heads towards its conclusion.
Get ready to team up with other players and work together to take down the orbital superweapon, thwarting Emperor Palpatine's evil plan and saving 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 start on Saturday June 7, 2025 at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT / 7pm BST, as confirmed by the in-game countdown that has now appeared. A Death Star Sabotage tile will appear on the lobby Discover screen from 9am PDT / 12noon EDT / 5pm BST on June 7, so it's recommended that you jump in early and fly around in some Fortnite X-Wings and TIE Fighters to prepare yourself for the event.
What will happen during the Fortnite live event?
We don't have the full details about the next Fortnite live event at this stage, as Epic want to keep some surprises for when players jump into the Death Star Sabotage experience. We do know that this will be a fully interactive and immersive event, with the official announcement describing it 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. The more recent announcement also confirms that this is a "Season-ending live event", so expect an action-packed finale before going straight into downtime to prepare the launch of the next season.
