Fortnite OG Season 9 Ends: Season X Dates and Leaks

OG Season 9 Ends September 2

Fortnite OG Chapter 1 Season 9, the season with the slogan "The Future is Yours," ends on September 2, 2026. The season began on June 25 and runs for roughly two months, following the standard OG cadence. That means the current OG Battle Pass, its 100 tiers of rewards, and the OG Season 9 exclusive cosmetics will all become unavailable when the season flips. Anything you still want from the OG Season 9 pass needs to be unlocked before the end date, because OG passes do not come back after the season ends.

The Final Showdown Rerun

The Final Showdown live event, which pitted Mecha Team Leader against the Devourer on the OG island, originally ran on August 29 at 2:00 PM ET. That first showing had a serious problem: matchmaking failures kept players from joining, so many saw the event broken or not at all. Epic restaged the whole event at 4:30 PM ET the same day, and most players who watched it saw the rerun. The event was the season's big finale moment, and the rerun made sure nobody missed it, even though it ran twice rather than once.

Season X Start Date Leak

Season X is the season that follows OG Season 9, and community trackers expect it to begin on or around September 3, 2026. That date is not yet officially confirmed by Epic, so treat it as a strong estimate rather than a guarantee. The usual pattern is for the new OG season to start within a day or two of the previous one ending, with downtime early in the morning. If the September 3 date holds, the wait between seasons is only about a day, which keeps the OG mode from going quiet for long.

The 800 V-Bucks OG Pass Claim

Leakers have claimed that the OG Season X Battle Pass will cost 800 V-Bucks, matching the cheaper OG pass price used in previous OG seasons. This is an unconfirmed leak, and the real price could change before the season launches. If the 800 V-Bucks price is real, it makes the OG pass one of the best values in Fortnite, especially compared to the 950 V-Bucks main Battle Pass. Wait for Epic's official announcement before spending, but the 800 V-Bucks figure is the number circulating in the community right now.

What Season X Might Bring

Season X is the most chaotic season in Fortnite history, so its OG version is expected to lean into that theme. The original Season X brought the giant mech, time-travel story beats, and a rotating mix of iconic locations, and the OG version is expected to bring back that identity. Unvaulted weapons, themed cosmetics, and the same dramatic end-of-season event structure are all reasonable expectations, though nothing concrete has been announced. The hype around the mech and the finale of the original season is the main reason Season X is one of the most anticipated OG seasons.

What to Do Before the Season Ends

Before September 2, unlock anything you still want from the OG Season 9 Battle Pass and spend down any OG-specific currencies you hold. Check whether you own the OG pass and how many tiers you still need, because once the season ends the cosmetics are gone for good. If Season X does start around September 3, you will have a short gap to refresh and plan your next pass. The OG mode has become one of Fortnite's most-played modes, so the season handoff is worth planning around rather than rushing at the last minute.
