Fortnite Lantern Fest 2026 Schedule
Every year, Fortnite celebrates Ramadan through the Lantern Fest event, and 2026 is no different. This time around, the whole thing is built around Reload. Specifically, a new Teams of 8 mode that dropped with the 39.50 update. You can jump in, play with your whole squad, complete a few tasks along the way, and walk out with free rewards. It’s that simple.
The event runs from February 19th until February 25th, 2026, so you only have less than a week to wrap up all the quests and grab the free rewards.
