Here’s everything we know about any upcoming live events in Fortnite around Chapter 5 Season 2’s launch and beyond.

When is the Fortnite live event?

While there’s no official information on an upcoming live event, we know that Chapter 5 Season 1 will end on March 8, 2024, at 7am UK Time / 2am ET.

New seasons in Fortnite usually start shortly after the previous season’s end, and although downtime is expected to be longer for this one, leaks suggest that it will begin on the same day.

Chapter 5 Season 2 is expected to begin on March 8, 2024, around 11am-1pm UK Time / 6-8 am ET.

The actual timings may change depending on the downtime needed to update the game for the next season.

How do you watch the Fortnite live event?

As official details about a live event at the start of the next season are scarce, we don’t know exactly when and where this may be happening.

Leaks suggest that a new Olympus point of interest (POI) will be added to the Battle Royale map, so this would be a likely spot for an upcoming live event during the new season.

We will surely update you when we know more details about Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 and any live events it may bring.

What can you expect from the Fortnite live event?

All leaks and official teasers, as well as the latest Titan Hand live event, point to an Ancient Greek theme for the upcoming season.

While there aren’t any official details apart from the two teasers of Zeus and Hades, reliable leaker iFireMonkey has posted a list of content rumoured to be coming to the game.

These include a new Zeus Ability with 3 stages, 4 Mythics, a Gold Apple giving speed boost, the new Olympus POI, a Cerberus Shotgun, Flying Ability and more.

Several new and returning collaborations could be coming to Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, and these could also be featured in upcoming live events.

A Kratos skin from the God of War series could be making a comeback, alongside his son Atreus, in line with the season’s Greek gods theme.

A Persona 3 collaboration has also been rumoured, and this one seems likely due to Persona 3 Reload’s recent success and the popular Japanese RPG’s heavy Greek myth inspirations.

The long-running pirate manga and anime series One Piece has also been rumoured to be coming to Fortnite.

We’ll keep you posted as soon as we find out more about upcoming live events during Chapter 5 Season 2 in Fortnite.
