When does the Fortnite Final Spritemare start and end?

The Fortnite Final Spritemare starts Tuesday, October 27, 2026, and runs through Saturday, October 31. Epic's Communities post calls it a five-day send-off. Daily bonuses begin at 9:00 a.m. ET (8:00 a.m. CT, 1:00 p.m. UTC). The same page's event card also reads "Tuesday 3:00 AM · for 5 days" and does not name that clock's time zone.1

The Battle Royale island page, read October 27, 2026, repeats the October 27–31 window and the send-off sentence. The text captured there cuts off at "double Spr." That page names the current season as Chapter 7 Season 4: Override.3 The October 26–27 NAC FNCS Solos window is a separate event, covered in the solos picks.

What does the Final Spritemare give you every day?

Every day of the Final Spritemare, the Communities post lists 2x Sprite XP, 2x Sprite Dust, a login Quest for one Lucky Locator, and a chance of 1-Up Tokens and Portable Extractors from Chests. Those bonuses start at 9:00 a.m. ET (1:00 p.m. UTC). The post does not say the 2x rate starts earlier, and it prints no V-Bucks price.1

Those three bonuses are listed once, above the day-by-day loot.1

What loot changes each day of the Final Spritemare?

The Final Spritemare changes the loot pool and the boosted Sprite each day. October 27 adds the Overclocked 8-Bit Shotgun, plus more Cheat Master and Gold Sprites. October 28 adds the Overpowered Shotgun and Loot Hacker Sprites. October 29 adds the Balloon Popper Assault Rifle and Bounty Hunter Sprites. October 30 and 31 are in the table.1

What did @Fortnite's October 26 post leave out?

@Fortnite's October 26 post, at 1:00:42 p.m. UTC, says the Final Spritemare starts the next day with daily boosts and Lucky Locators. It lists Gold and Cheat Master hours, then Loot Hacker, Bounty Hunter, Trick or Treat, and all variants across October 28–31. That post does not print 2x, 9:00 a.m. ET, or a weapon name.2

Fortnite on October 26, 2026, at 1:00:42 p.m. UTC. The text names bonus hours and Lucky Locators. It does not give a 2x rate or a weapon name. Open original ↗

The One Piece teaser note quotes this same post and records that it does not name a boost amount. The Communities post is the one that prints 2x Sprite XP, 2x Sprite Dust, and the weapon names.14

Friday's Locker reward is Fortnite Calaverita Sprays and an Emoticon. Saturday's console list is Hunter Scavenger, Spooky Sprinter, and Prop Hunt. Neither line includes a shop price.1
