When is Chapter 5 Season 2 starting?
We’re some way into Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, so you’ll be wanting to know when it’s set to end.
This means you’ll also be wanting to learn when the Chapter 5 Season 2 release date should be. Fortunately, we have answers for both.
With Peter Griffin, Eminem and Solid Snake taking the headlines in Chapter 5 Season 1, fans can’t wait to find out what crossovers Epic Games has up its sleeves for Chapter 5 Season 2.
There’s sure to be plenty to get excited about, and even if we are a little way off official reveals, we are aware of some rumours about what might be included in Chapter 5 Season 2.

Read on to find out the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 end date and time, when the Chapter 5 Season 2 release date should be and what you might expect from Chapter 5 Season 2.
When does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 end? Confirmed date
The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 end date is 7am on 8th March 2024 in the UK. For those in the US, Chapter 5 Season 1 is set to end at 2am ET on 8th March 2024/11pm PT on 7th March.
Timings for the end of the current Season are subject to change, it’s worth noting. Epic Games has changed the end date and times for previous seasons, including the last one of Chapter 4.
We’ll know for certain when the Chapter 5 Season 1 end date is in Fortnite as we near 7th/8th March 2024, and will update this page if anything changes.
When does Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start? Estimated date
The Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 release date should be on or around 8th March 2024. It all depends on the length of downtime that will take place upon the conclusion of Chapter 5 Season 1.
We could see downtime of just a few hours, or potentially a couple of days. We won’t know until just before the ending of Chapter 5 Season 1, when Epic Games should detail precisely when Chapter 5 Season 2 is set to begin.
Again, we’ll update this page with official confirmation of the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 start time when Epic Games reveals the information, presumably on or around 8th March 2024.
What could happen in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2? Leaks, rumours and predictions
While Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is still a while away, this hasn’t stopped leaks, rumours and speculation running rife over what could happen during its run.
The rumoured Doctor Who event still hasn’t happened, for example.
It was just recently the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, with plenty of new special episodes and more made to celebrate. Ncuti Gatwa has just become the 15th Doctor, too, so late 2023 would have been the perfect time for a crossover.
If we have to wait until Ncuti Gatwa’s first season as Doctor Who for the crossover, though, we suppose we can.
Fingers crossed this rumoured event takes place during Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 in spring 2024.
In other updates that could take place in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, Epic Games has promised that Guitar Hero/Rock Band controller compatibility is on the way to Fortnite Festival, which we could see happening by spring 2024.
We’re also expecting the standard slew of new content updates in all Fortnite modes, including battle royale and its battle pass, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival (more Jam Tracks!). Here’s hoping Epic Games reveals more soon.
