Start time of the Fortnite live event today
To watch the upcoming Dark Voyager event in Fortnite, you will need to get into a match before 3:30 PM Eastern Time. The event will be available in the Battle Royale mode, so you should queue for a match around 3:25 PM ET or earlier. If you are in a smaller region, such as Oceania, the matchmaking time may be longer, so joining a match earlier is a good idea.

This will be a shorter event that will tease Chapter 7 – Season 2. Judging by similar events, it will likely last for a minute or two. All players will gain damage immunity during the event, so that everyone can enjoy it.
As soon as the Fortnite event ends, Epic Games will enable a Power Hour. During this period, everyone will receive Supercharged XP and start matches with a Wingsuit, Seven Cluster Cannon, and Self-Revive Device. A Gold Rush anomaly will appear at the start of every match, the storm will form the shape of a 7, and everyone will have a glider redeployment. Finally, the Power Hour brings more Legendary POIs, increasing the chances of rare chests and high-quality loot.
