The Fortnite Season 9 end date has already been leaked before Season 8 is over. That shouldn’t come as a surprise really as there are so many data miners who look through the game’s files for any sign of information. If you want to know when Fortnite season 9 ends, read our Fortnite Season 9 end date guide for more.
Fortnite Season 9 End Date | When does it end?
The Fortnite Season 9 end date is due to arrive on Wednesday, July 24. According to well-known data miner Lucas7yoshi_, the game’s files have revealed as much. Lucas took to their personal Twitter account to state when Season 9 is expected to end and, due to how on the money they’ve been in the past, we’re inclined to believe them.
We know that Season 8 will end on Wednesday, May 8, which means that Season 9 will begin on Thursday, May 9 too. That matches up with the 10-week cycle that Fortnite Seasons usually have, so expect July 24 to be confirmed once Season 9 launches.
Fortnite Season 9 End Date | Why is this date significant?
The Fortnite Season 9 end date could well be a primer for some birthday celebrations. We’ve already stated that Wednesday, July 24 will be the last day that Season 9 will be around, but there’s more than meets the eye with this particular date.
Fortnite‘s official release date was July 25, 2017. As you may have guessed, bringing the curtain down on Season 9 a day before its second birthday can’t be a coincidence. Whether this will coincide with Season 10’s arrival only, or if Epic Games are planning a birthday bash, remains to be seen.
We can’t help but wonder that there will be a major surprised around these dates though for when Fortnite turns two years old. We won’t know more details for another 10 weeks, but place your bets now on Season 9’s end date bringing some form of birthday celebrations to the game.

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
