When is the next Fortnite live event, Shattered?
The next Fortnite live event will pit Team Foundation against Team Ice King, and takes place on June 5, 2026
The next Fortnite live event is almost here, which means the epic head to head between The Foundation and The Ice King in Shattered is about to begin. Building on the Showdown concept that has been central to the outgoing season, this event will see Team Foundation and Team Ice King facing off against each other, with the experience you get directly linked to who you pledged allegiance to.
To find out more about when this is happening and what will be involved, here's everything we know so far about the next Fortnite live event.
What time is the Fortnite live event
The next Fortnite live event is taking place on Friday, June 5, 2026, and thanks to a recent announcement post we now know it has a confirmed start time of 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT / 12am (June 6) BST. However, as with previous live events you should aim to be logged in 40 minutes ahead of that to make sure you get access to the lobby before it begins, so doors will be opening at 3:20pm PDT / 6:20pm EDT / 11:20pm BST.
What will happen during the Fortnite live event?
According to Epic, this Fortnite live event will see the final fight between Team Ice King vs Team Foundation, after a season of the opposing teams racking up rivalry wins against each other. Your team changes your experience, so depending on whether you joined Team Foundation or Team Ice King at the start of the season, the event will play out differently for you. This will be a one time live event, so make sure you're there ready for the start as there are no second chances.
We also know that there are some rewards available for taking part in the Shatter live event, which are shown above. Everyone who attends will receive the Chaos Cutlasses Pickaxe, while those who take part with one or more friends in a party will get the Bark Voyager Sidekick as well. These items will be added to your Locker after Fortnite Season 3 of Chapter 7 begins, so don't worry if you can't see them immediately.
