The next Fortnite Treasure Hours event is on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Epic runs Treasure Hours every Saturday of the Treasure Hunters season, and during them the rarest chest treasures drop more often, including Pirate Shop Access at 1.5 times its normal rate.
Treasure Hours schedule
Epic's season announcement says "Treasure Hours Saturdays" run throughout the season, which began on November 1. It also tells players to keep Saturday, December 5 free for the Chapter 7 end event. That leaves these Saturdays:
| Date | Status |
|---|---|
| Saturday, November 7 | Done. Round 1 at 2 PM ET, round 2 at 9 PM ET |
| Saturday, November 14 | Next. Times not yet posted by Epic |
| Saturday, November 21 | Expected |
| Saturday, November 28 | Expected |
| Saturday, December 5 | Chapter 7 end event day |
Epic announced the first event in its community hub the day before it started, so watch for the November 14 post late in the week. We will update this page when it appears.
What time do Treasure Hours start?
For the first event, Epic's Communities Team listed two rounds, each shown as a two-hour window:
| Round | US Eastern | US Pacific | UK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | 2 PM Saturday | 11 AM Saturday | 7 PM Saturday |
| Round 2 | 9 PM Saturday | 6 PM Saturday | 2 AM Sunday |
These are the November 7 times. They are the best guide for November 14, but they are not confirmed for it.
Treasure drop rates, straight from Epic
Epic published the odds for every chest you open in a normal match:
| Treasure | Normal odds per chest | During Treasure Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly Gold Outfit | 1 in 1,562,500 | 7.5x (about 1 in 208,333) |
| Pirate Shop Access | 1 in 137,500 | 1.5x (about 1 in 91,667) |
| Weekly Vehicle & Decal | 1 in 7,813 | 10x (about 1 in 781) |
| Weekly Pickaxe or Back Bling | 1 in 568 | No boost listed |
| Weekly Jam Track | 1 in 391 | No boost listed |
| Weekly Loading Screen | 1 in 272 | No boost listed |
| Gizmo (any) | 1 in 127 | No boost listed |
Two details matter. Other than Gizmos, you cannot get the same treasure twice. And Epic says the rates "may be higher in future Treasure Hours", so later Saturdays could be more generous than the first.
How many chests would it take?
The odds are per chest, so they add up slowly. Using Epic's numbers:
- 1,000 chests in normal matches: about a 0.7% chance of Pirate Shop Access.
- 1,000 chests during Treasure Hours: about a 1.1% chance.
- 10,000 chests in normal matches: about a 7% chance.
In other words, Treasure Hours help, but Pirate Shop Access is still a long shot. The Weekly Vehicle & Decal is the realistic target: at 10x, opening a few hundred chests during the event gives you a fair chance.
What else changed during the first Treasure Hours
According to Epic's event post, every player dropped in with A$AP Rocky's Shock Rocket and a Self-Revive Device, and Fortune Sprites appeared more often. The loadout may change as new captains arrive. Epic's season post puts Lil Uzi Vert in the Shop on November 12 and Cap'n Hatsune Miku on November 14.
Tips for the next one
- Land where chests are dense and leave fights alone. Chests opened is the only number that counts.
- Play the whole window. The boost applies for the full two hours of each round.
- Rates outside Treasure Hours never change, so there is no "lucky" time of day.
