Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 Mastery Monday start time

September 6, 2026

Mastery Monday returns in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, giving players a full day of boosted sprite progress and collection rewards.

The event is especially useful for anyone still trying to collect sprites or keep pace with the new sprites and variants added during the season. Here is the start time for Australian players and other major regions.

When does Mastery Monday start in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4?

Mastery Monday begins at 9 a.m. EDT on Monday, September 7, and runs for 24 hours. For the east coast of Australia, that is 11 p.m. AEST.

6 a.m. PDT — west coast of North America
9 a.m. EDT — east coast of North America
10 a.m. BRT — Brazil
2 p.m. BST — United Kingdom
3 p.m. CEST — western Europe
10 p.m. JST — Japan
11 p.m. AEST — east coast of Australia

For Australian players using AEST, the event finishes at 11 p.m. the following day. Set aside time before then if you want to take advantage of the bonuses.

What bonuses are active during Mastery Monday?

Playing during the event provides three boosts that make sprite collecting and progression faster:

Sprites level up twice as quickly.
You earn double sprite dust.
Extractions provide twice as much sprite dust.

That combination makes Mastery Monday a useful opportunity to work through missing sprites, improve existing ones and build up your sprite dust reserves. If you are planning a longer session, our arcade gaming news and guides offer more reading between matches.

Do sprites carry over to the next season?

There has been no news confirming whether sprites will carry over into the next season. However, you can still take your sprites to the Sprite Garden.

A future update will also add a new mastery back bling. It will let you display your favourite sprites from this season.

Once Mastery Monday begins, focus on collecting and extracting as much as possible before the 24-hour window closes. Australian players on the east coast should be ready from 11 p.m. AEST on September 7.
