Fortnite Captain’s Days begin on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 2 PM GMT (9 AM ET), alongside the Treasure Hunters season. There are five dates to watch, with fresh weapons, Sprites and other additions coming to Battle Royale during November.
The first date coincides with the arrival of Crossbones Isle and One Piece. After that, November 7, 12, 14 and 21 bring more additions. Between these dates, there are also Mastery Mondays and Treasure Hours Sundays, with their own match bonuses.
Fortnite Captain’s Days: all November dates and UK time
Epic announced five dates on October 30. The opening event has a confirmed 2 PM GMT start time. The later four dates are confirmed too, but Epic hasn’t specified a separate UK start time for each one.
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| Sunday, November 1 | Opening Captain’s Day and season launch at 2 PM GMT |
| Saturday, November 7 | Second Captain’s Day |
| Thursday, November 12 | Third Captain’s Day |
| Saturday, November 14 | Fourth Captain’s Day |
| Saturday, November 21 | Fifth Captain’s Day |
There’s a Shop calendar running alongside the events. Zoro, Sanji and the Chopper Sidekick arrive on November 7, Lil Uzi Vert follows on November 12, and Kasane Teto and Cap’n Hatsune Miku arrive on November 14. Buying those cosmetics isn’t a requirement for playing the new Battle Royale content.
What happens during Fortnite Captain’s Days?
Expect new weapons, Sprites and map additions across the month. Each incoming captain brings their own crew and point of interest. The Straw Hats and A$AP Rocky are first, with Lil Uzi Vert, Cap’n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto arriving later.
Fortnite Captain’s Days are Battle Royale content drops, not a calendar of five identical login rewards. You can play with the new additions on the island as they arrive. Epic has confirmed the dates, but hasn’t provided a weapon-by-weapon list for each day.
The opening Captain’s Day also brings Crossbones Isle, an 80-player Battle Royale island with One Piece locations Arlong Park and Windmill Village. A$AP Rocky has a battleship point of interest called the $.$. Rocky. Cannons scattered around the island let players launch between areas. Our Crossbones Isle map guide covers the locations.
Which weapons and powers are coming to Treasure Hunters?
The One Piece crossover puts Luffy’s Gum-Gum Fruit and Zoro’s Three Sword Style into Battle Royale. Luffy’s power is built around his stretchy attacks, while Zoro brings his three-sword fighting technique. A$AP Rocky’s Shock Rocket lets players rain rockets from above.
The Gum-Gum Fruit, Three Sword Style and Shock Rocket are named additions to the season, rather than one-time login prizes. Fortnite Captain’s Days will add more equipment and Sprites as November progresses. Our Treasure Hunters weapons guide explains the confirmed powers.
How Captain’s Days differ from Mastery Mondays and Treasure Hours
Fortnite Captain’s Days are the five scheduled content drops. Mastery Mondays and Treasure Hours Sundays are recurring bonus events that run across the season, including the weeks between Captain’s Days.
Epic says the weekly events bring bonuses including Captain’s weapons at the start of a match and improved drops. That means there’s something to look out for even between the major Captain’s Days. The dated events above are where the new weapons and Sprites enter the season.
How to take part in Fortnite Captain’s Days
Open Battle Royale on a Captain’s Day to see the latest additions. These are changes to the island and its loot, not a separate premium reward track. You don’t need to buy the Treasure Hunters Battle Pass just to play on Crossbones Isle.
For the opening event, update Fortnite and choose Battle Royale after the new season launches at 2 PM GMT on November 1. Explore Arlong Park or Windmill Village, use the cannons to move around Crossbones Isle and look out for the new combat powers. Return on the other dates for the next additions.
The Battle Pass and Item Shop have their own cosmetic rewards. Ace and Nico Robin feature in the season pass, while Luffy, Nami and Usopp arrive in the launch-day Shop. Our One Piece character guide shows when each Outfit becomes available.
When is the final Captain’s Day?
The last of the announced Fortnite Captain’s Days is Saturday, November 21. The Treasure Hunters storyline continues beyond that weekend, with Epic also announcing a separate Chapter 7 end event on December 5.
The first event begins November 1 at 2 PM GMT. The remaining Fortnite Captain’s Days fall on November 7, 12, 14 and 21, with Mastery Mondays and Treasure Hours Sundays running between them.
