Fortnite Captain's Days Schedule: Nov 1, 7, 12, 14, 21

Fortnite’s Captain’s Days fall on November 1, 7, 12, 14 and 21, 2026. Each one drops new weapons, Sprites and more into Battle Royale. Epic says the first starts with the Treasure Hunters season on November 1 at 9 AM ET (14:00 UTC). Mastery Mondays and Treasure Hours Sundays repeat all season, and the Chapter 7 end event is Saturday, December 5.

Below are the dates with converted times, which captain and crew Epic has named for each week, what the weekly Monday and Sunday events add, and where the V-Bucks side of the season comes in.

Fortnite Captain’s Days schedule (November 2026)

Epic’s Treasure Hunters launch post from October 30 gives five Captain’s Days. Only the first has a clock time. The time conversions are ours, using Eastern Standard Time, because US clocks moved back on November 1.

Epic describes each Captain’s Day the same way: all-new weapons, Sprites and more drop on the map. It has not published a list of which weapon or Sprite arrives on which day.

Week 1 captains: the Straw Hats and A$AP Rocky

Each week a new captain arrives in Battle Royale with a crew and a point of interest (POI). Epic says the Straw Hats and A$AP Rocky lead the way. The Straw Hats come with Crossbones Isle, the new 80-player island, where you can visit Arlong Park and Windmill Village from One Piece.

On that island Epic lists Luffy’s Gum-Gum Fruit and Zoro’s Three Sword Style as powers you can fight with. A cannon launches you across the island.

A$AP Rocky’s POI is a battleship called the $.$. Rocky, and his weapon is the Shock Rocket, which Epic says lets you rain rockets from above. The thumbnail of the official gameplay trailer shows him under a Week 1 label.

Later captains: Lil Uzi Vert, Cap’n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto

After Week 1, Epic names Lil Uzi Vert, then Cap’n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto as the next captains. It does not say what their POIs or weapons are.

Epic does not pair captains with Captain’s Days. The Item Shop dates in the same post do line up with them, though. The table below shows that overlap, so you know which character skins go on sale on each Captain’s Day.

A$AP Rocky (November 5) and Buggy (November 13) reach the Shop between Captain’s Days. Our One Piece skins release dates guide covers every Shop date in full.

Mastery Mondays and Treasure Hours Sundays

Two weekly events run alongside Captain’s Days for the whole season. Epic describes them together: they add Captain’s weapons to the start of every match, boost drops, “and more”. It does not say which of the two does what, or give start times.

• Mastery Mondays: Mondays in November fall on the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th.
• Treasure Hours Sundays: Sundays in November fall on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th.

Those are calendar dates, not an Epic schedule. Epic says only that both run “throughout the Season”.

Captain X’s mega chest and the December 5 end event

Epic says new treasures are hidden across the island, including “what’s inside Captain X’s mega chest”. It has not said what is inside, where the chest is, or when it opens.

The other fixed date is Saturday, December 5. Epic calls it a Chapter 7 end event and tells players to keep the day open. It gave no time. For the previous season’s Battle Pass deadline and the announced transition time, see our Chapter 7 Season 4 end date guide.
