Fortnite Runs Treasure Hours With Boosted Drops
Epic Games schedules two Battle Royale Treasure Hours windows over November 7 and 8, 2026, with Captain's weapons and boosted drops.
Updated on Nov. 7, 2026 in Gaming
Epic Games runs Fortnite Treasure Hours in Battle Royale from 7pm to 9pm UK time on November 7, 2026, with a second window from 2am to 4am UK time on November 8. Each window adds Captain's weapons to the start of every match and boosts drops, including Fortune Sprites and Portable Extractors from chests.
Why it matters
The windows give players a set period of boosted drops and starting weapons, timed for players in both the UK and Eastern Time. A rare Pirate Shop Access Token is also reportedly available as a Treasure Hunt reward.
Each Treasure Hours window lasts two hours and adds Captain's weapons and boosted drops to Battle Royale matches. The rare Pirate Shop Access Token reportedly makes every V-Bucks item in the Item Shop free for 14 days once activated, though Epic has not confirmed whether the boosted drops cover it.

Timeline
November 7, 2026, 7pm to 9pm UK time: first Treasure Hours window
November 8, 2026, 2am to 4am UK time (9pm to 11pm Eastern): second Treasure Hours window
November 8, 2026: next Captain's Day
December 5, 2026: Chapter 7 end event and Crew skins swapped for V-Bucks
Season Trajectory
Fortnite's Treasure Hours follow a weekly Saturday schedule that runs through the season, with the Chapter 7 end event set for December 5, 2026. The November windows continue that rhythm while leading toward the season's close.
Players in the UK can join the first window on the evening of November 7, while the second window falls in the early hours of November 8 for UK players and the evening of November 8 for Eastern Time players. The boosted Fortune Sprite and Portable Extractor drops are available to anyone playing Battle Royale during those windows.
The takeaway
Players who want the boosted drops and starting Captain's weapons should plan around the two-hour windows, since the November 8 window falls in the early hours for UK players. Checking the Item Shop on November 7 will show whether the Zoro, Sanji and Chopper items fit into existing plans.
What happens next
The season's next Captain's Day falls on Sunday, November 8, 2026, and the season ends with a Chapter 7 end event on Saturday, December 5, 2026, when Crew skins are swapped for extra V-Bucks.
