Fortnite x The Simpsons Live Event: Start Time and What to Expect

Fortnite’s next big crossover is here, with The Simpsons mini-season officially kicking off on November 1, 2025, following a special live event.

The Simpsons Take Over Fortnite

Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite will host a live event on Saturday, November 1, at 11 AM ET to mark the start of its long-rumored Simpsons collaboration. This event will also serve as the finale for Chapter 6, paving the way for a month of Springfield-themed content before Chapter 7 launches in December.

If you’ve been through Fortnite’s past live events, you already know the drill. Servers will be packed, so it’s smart to log in early. Epic hasn’t said whether PvP will be disabled during the broadcast, but most players expect some downtime after the event before the new season officially begins.

• PT: 8:00 AM (Nov 1)

• CT: 10:00 AM (Nov 1)

What to Expect in the Mini-Season

The Simpsons mini-season follows Fortnite’s earlier Star Wars crossover and promises a Springfield-inspired map complete with iconic points of interest (POIs). Leaks suggest we’ll see the Nuclear Power Plant, Springfield Gorge, Kamp Krusty, and even the Simpsons’ family home.

The Battle Pass is rumored to feature Homer, Marge, and Ned Flanders, alongside Fortnite originals like Peely and Fishstick, reimagined in the Simpsons’ style. Other leaks hint at Bart piloting a mech, Krusty the Clown, Moe Szyslak, Lisa, Scratchy, and even Kang and Kodos as Item Shop cosmetics.
