Fortnite Treasure Hours: Schedule, Start Times, and Pirate Token Odds

What Are Fortnite Treasure Hours?

Fortnite Treasure Hours are the new weekly Saturday events in the Treasure Hunters mini-season, taking over the slot previously held by Power Hours. Each event day features two separate two-hour windows packed with loot changes, free match-starting items, and boosted chances at the season's most coveted reward: the extremely rare Pirate Token.

Just like Power Hours, anyone who starts a match during a Treasure Hour receives special gear. For the first event, that meant the returning Self-Revive Device plus the A$AP Rocky Shockwave Rocket for every player in the drop. Chest contents also shift during these windows, making them the best time to grind for rare seasonal rewards. For a quick video rundown, watch this Treasure Hours breakdown covering everything announced before the debut event.

Fortnite Treasure Hours Schedule (November–December 2026)

Treasure Hours take place weekly on Saturdays in two two-hour sessions. According to VICE's Treasure Hour guide, the full schedule for the rest of the mini-season looks like this:

The next Treasure Hour lands on Saturday, November 14. IGN's schedule wiki notes that details for this second event are still to be confirmed, so expect possible changes to the match-start items or modifiers. Epic has kept the windows consistent so far, though the December 5 date is tentative since it lines up with the mini-season finale.

Treasure Hour Start Times by Region

If the Saturday schedule holds, here is when both sessions begin in your local time zone. Keep an eye on the day as well as the time, because the evening session falls on Sunday outside the Americas.

What Changes During Treasure Hours?

Treasure Hours are more than a timer on your screen. Several gameplay modifiers activate for the duration of each window:

• Match-start items: Every player who begins a match during the event gets a Self-Revive Device and the A$AP Rocky Shockwave Rocket, letting rockets rain down from the opening seconds.
• Portable structures from chests: Chests spawn portable structures, shaking up how you loot and rotate.
• Sprite spawn shifts: Base sprite spawn chances are heavily decreased, while Fortune sprite spawns are increased, making these sessions the prime time to hunt the rarer variants.
• Vault glitch fixes: Epic patched the glitches that let players open vaults from the outside, so those shortcuts no longer work during the event.

Epic has also been running Captain's Days alongside Treasure Hours, which introduce special Captain's weapons and Sprites. Captain's Day 2 on November 8 added Lil' Uzi Vert's Lil' SMG, the Lil' Uzi Vert Jr. Sprite, the first appearances of Cursed Sprites, and a second Map Fragment washing ashore. Sprites can make or break a Treasure Hour run, so it's worth reviewing the full sprite variants and mastery rewards before you drop.

Pirate Token Odds During Treasure Hours

The Pirate Token is the white whale of the Treasure Hunters season, with a standard drop rate of roughly 1 in 137,500 per Treasure Chest. The good news is that Epic confirmed boosted Pirate Token odds during Treasure Hours, and the November 7 event bore that out:

If those boosts return, the second session is clearly the better window for a token hunt. Epic has not yet confirmed whether the November 14 evening session will bring back the double odds, so treat the schedule above as likely rather than locked in.

Hunting the token remains a serious grind regardless. Community clips from the first Treasure Hours weekend show players opening 5,000+ chests across 45 hours of playtime without a single token, so set expectations accordingly. Even with the boost, Treasure Hours improve your odds rather than guarantee a drop.

How long do Treasure Hours last?

What are the Pirate Token odds during Treasure Hours?

Outside the event, the Pirate Token has a 1 in 137,500 chance per Treasure Chest. During the November 7 event, odds were boosted to about 1 in 91,667 in the first session and 1 in 68,750 in the second session.

Do you get free items in Treasure Hours?

Yes. Players who start a match during a Treasure Hour window receive match-starting items, including the Self-Revive Device and the A$AP Rocky Shockwave Rocket during the first event. Epic may change the loadout for future sessions.

Are Treasure Hours worth playing for the Pirate Token?

They are the best opportunity available, since token odds are boosted during the event windows and chest loot is improved. That said, the odds are still steep, so most hunters will need multiple weekends of chest grinding before seeing a token.
