The next Fortnite live event will feature the Simpsons collaboration. It will introduce us to the upcoming mini-season, and its start date and time have been revealed by Epic Games. In this article, we will reveal the exact start time in every region, and you can also check out the countdown clock.
It’s hard to believe that the first live event in Fortnite happened in Season 4 back in 2018. Now, nearly a decade later, they’ve become a staple of Epic Games’ free-to-play battle royale shooter. That being said, some may raise an eyebrow to the fact that The Simpsons is now front and center for the latest live event – a show arguably well past its peak popularity but still has a dedicated fan base.
Nonetheless, over the past few days, Epic released a small build-up event that has Bart’s treehouse. The treehouse is being gradually built, and this is where you can see the event countdown as well. The upcoming Fortnite live event will be massive, so make sure you don’t miss it!

What to expect in the Simpsons x Fortnite live event
While we've had confirmation the event, which has rumoured for many months now, is happening, Epic has kept details very quiet. Still, it's not hard to speculate what fans will be getting when it does finally drop. We'd expect to see the following:
- Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, Krusty, Ned Flanders and more skins - based on characters from the game. They'll likely feature soundbites and dialogue from the series
- New POIs - for players to explore
- New gliders - in the teaser image you can see Ned Flanders gliding down on what looks like a moustache-themed glider
- New vehicles - likely handling or akin to the brilliant Simpsons Hit and Run game
Now, this is all purely speculation, so we'll need to wait until Epic confirms more details. Either way, though, the live event certainly has potential to be a lot of fun. We'll be updating this article continuously as more details drop.
How to watch the next Fortnite live event?
The upcoming live event in Fortnite will likely be played in the Battle Royale mode. To watch it in the game, you simply need to log in approximately 30 minutes before it starts, then queue up for a match. Once the countdown hits zero, the event will begin, and you'll be able to watch it live.
