If you want to tune in, whether by taking part live in the gaming or watching someone stream it, you'll need to know when it is happening. While it will start at the same time globally, timezones make it confusing when it begins.


Fortnite Season 8 live event regional start times

Epic Games has always advised players to log in to Fortnite up to an hour before a live event starts. This ensures there are no connection issues and they can make it into the game.

From there, around half an hour prior to the live event beginning, the lobby will be open for players to join. Then at the start time, a 15 to 30-minute banger of an event will usher in Chapter 3.
