The Fortnite Simpsons mini-season became available at about 5 PM ET on November 1, 2025—2 PM PT, 10 PM GMT, and 11 PM CET that day. The separate in-game event was advertised for 11 AM ET. These are past times, not an upcoming release schedule.
Fortnite Simpsons mini-season release time by time zone
GameSpot reported that the season was expected to start at about 5 PM ET after server downtime. Converted for November 1, 2025, that was:
| Time zone | Local release time |
|---|---|
| Eastern Time (ET) | 5 PM, November 1 |
| Pacific Time (PT) | 2 PM, November 1 |
| Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UK) | 10 PM, November 1 |
| Central European Time (CET) | 11 PM, November 1 |
These conversions use the daylight-saving offsets in effect on November 1, 2025. The times are historical; do not reuse the offsets for another date without checking the local daylight-saving rules.
Why some reports say 11 AM ET
11 AM ET on November 1 was the advertised time for a separate in-game event, not the mini-season’s availability. GameSpot quoted Epic’s teaser: “Kang and Kodos have arrived in Fortnite with a message for all of you humans, be sure to tune in-game on Nov 1 at 11AM ET.” The season was reported to arrive around 5 PM ET, after downtime. GameSpot’s event and season timing report distinguishes the two.

The November 1 date and season context are confirmed by Epic. The approximately 5 PM ET season time comes from GameSpot’s October 2025 reporting, which said the season was expected after downtime; it is not a clock time stated in Epic’s announcement. Treat it as a reported approximate start, rather than an official exact launch timestamp.
