Fortnite Death Star live event countdown and start time in your region
It's time to take on the Emperor and end the current season of Fortnite with a flourish. A fresh trailer gives players a sneak peek at what awaits them in the live event kicking off later today.
The Fortnite Galactic Battle mini season is nearing its conclusion, with the five-week narrative reaching a dramatic climax in today's Death Star Sabotage live event. Hopefully, you've had the opportunity to command a Star Destroyer because once the event wraps up, there will be a brief pause before the next season and its rumoured superhero theme commences.
On that subject, there has been some uncertainty about which Fortnite season we're currently in, but it appears that the Star Wars crossover isn't numbered and was squeezed between Chapter 6 Season 2 and the forthcoming Chapter 6 Season 3; this is according to leaked key art (@PoketOfficial via @Shiina).
We're set for a superhero theme which seems to align with Fortnite OG Chapter 4's theme (and start time), and there's an anticipated Superman collaboration as well as superhero Battle Pass skins, new POIs, and more. But before we reach that point, we have the Fortnite live event to round off the current season.
Epic Games unveiled a trailer at the SGF 2025 Showcase and followed up with a brief teaser on Twitter today, which you can view below:
The developer revealed that "Space combat (including X-Wings, TIE Fighters and even the dreaded Death Star) is the focus of the upcoming Fortnite event". Additionally, players can earn free and log-in rewards simply by logging in.
With the Death Star Sabotage climax approaching, here are the exact start times for the Fortnite live event in your region:
One hour prior to the event, the Death Star Sabotage tile will become available on the Discover tab. It's recommended to join as early as possible to avoid missing the 15-20 minute Fortnite live event, after which servers will be taken down for the next season update.
