Fortnite Power Hour Today: Times, Schedule & Rewards

Last Updated: November 13, 2026 – New schedule added!

Fortnite Power Hour is a short Saturday event with better odds on rare loot. Epic also gives every player in the lobby a free starting item. Right now it runs as Treasure Hours in the One Piece Treasure Hunters mini-season. Players can join the next one on Saturday 14 Nov 2026 at 2 PM ET and 9 PM ET.

Each Power Hour comes in two sessions of about two hours, and the theme changes every week. On 14 Nov, Cursed Sprites get higher odds for rare variants and everyone drops in with Lil Uzi Vert's Lil' SMG.

When Is the Next Fortnite Power Hour?

Next Fortnite Power Hour falls on Saturday 14 Nov 2026. Saturday play splits into two sessions at 2 PM ET (7 PM UTC) and 9 PM ET (2 AM UTC on 15 Nov). Both start times came with the v43.10 update, and each session usually lasts around two hours.

Power Hour start times for 14 Nov in each region:

Both sessions go live at the same moment worldwide, so players in Europe, Asia and Australia get the second one on Sunday. Weekly Power Hour details usually go up on Fortnite Status and the Fortnite Communities page a day or two before each session.

What Is Power Hour in Fortnite?

Power Hour is Epic's weekly Saturday event that changes how Battle Royale plays for a few hours. During each session, rare items drop more often. Everyone in the lobby also starts with the same free weapon or item, so matches feel different from normal ones.

Sprites sit at the center of most Power Hours. Sprites are small collectible creatures that give players extra abilities. Every Power Hour picks a featured type with higher spawn rates and better odds for rare variants. Players chasing the rarest Sprites in Fortnite get their best chances during these windows.

Since 1 Nov 2026, Power Hour runs as Treasure Hours in the Treasure Hunters mini-season. Players still call it Power Hour or Dev Hour, but Epic uses the Treasure Hours name. Epic's first plan put Treasure Hours on Sundays, then moved them to Saturdays on 4 Nov. Sundays now belong to Captain's Day, when a new boss Captain arrives for the week.

Drop rates stay the same at every other time of the week, so no hidden Dev Hour exists outside the announced sessions. Captain's Day and Mastery Mondays bring their own changes, but neither counts as a Power Hour.

Fortnite Treasure Hours Schedule

Treasure Hours dates and themes for the Treasure Hunters mini-season:

Treasure Hunters ends with the Chapter 7 finale on 5 Dec 2026. Late November sessions are the last chances at better odds this season. Epic announces each theme only a few days ahead, so the 21 and 28 Nov sessions stay unconfirmed until then.

What Gets Better Odds During Power Hour?

Treasure Hours mostly raise the odds on the rarest chest rewards. For 7 Nov, Epic posted exact numbers for both sessions:

Other chest rewards keep their normal odds during Treasure Hours. Pickaxes and back blings stay at 1 in 568, and Jam Tracks stay at 1 in 391. Loading screens sit at 1 in 272, and Gizmos drop at 1 in 127. Even with 1.5x odds, a Pirate Shop Access token stays a long shot, since a 50% chance of finding one takes about 63,500 chests.

Pirate Shop Access makes almost every V-Bucks item in the Item Shop free for 14 days. Chests drop the Pirate Token in Fortnite at those odds. Weekly Gold Outfits work the same way, with a Gold Lil Uzi Vert skin among the chest rewards so far. One token find also covers the whole party, so squads share the reward.

Epic didn't list higher Pirate Shop Access odds for the 14 Nov Cursed session. Token hunters shouldn't count on the same numbers every week. Future Treasure Hours may bring even higher rates, with any increase announced before the session.

Cursed Sprites bring the main change for 14 Nov. Carrying one during the session gives a higher chance at rarer Sprite variants. Cursed Sprites now also show a visual effect whenever the curse is active.

Past Fortnite Power Hours

Before Treasure Hours, Saturday Power Hours focused on Sprites throughout Chapter 7 Season 4, which ended on 1 Nov 2026. Every week picked a featured Sprite type and a free starting item, and chests could also drop 1-Up Tokens and Portable Extractors.

During the Final Spritemare week from 27 to 31 Oct 2026, Power Hour ran every day from 9 AM ET. Every day brought double Sprite XP, double Sprite Dust and a free Lucky Locator. Lucky Locators belong to the Sprite Gizmos family of helper tools, and Sprite XP feeds into Sprite Mastery progress.

Mastery Mondays run alongside Power Hour as a second weekly event. Every Monday brings 2x Sprite Dust and faster Sprite leveling, along with more Legendary and Mythic Sprites.

Tips for Fortnite Power Hour

Making the most of each Power Hour comes down to a few habits:

• Join a few minutes early so the first match starts right as the session opens.

• Play the second session when Epic lists higher odds for it, as happened on 7 Nov.

• Land at spots with lots of chests, since most rare rewards come from opening them.

• Carry a Cursed Sprite on 14 Nov for better rare variant odds.

• Check Fortnite Status on Saturday morning for confirmed times and themes.

FAQs About Fortnite Power Hour

Final Words

Fortnite Power Hour gives Saturday matches a reason to log in at set times. Sessions bring better odds on rare loot and free gear for everyone in the lobby. Each week brings a new theme, so checking Fortnite Status before Saturday shows which items and Sprites get the better odds. Planning matches around both sessions gives the best chance at rare rewards before each theme changes.
