These are the dated November 14–15 starts. The late US Saturday round is Sunday in the UK, India, East Asia and Australia. Changing zones converts the date too.

A planning comparison, not a live rate detector. Only count boosted openings when the current event actually applies that rate.

Epic’s v43.10 update gives two starts for the November 14 Cursed event: 2 PM and 9 PM US Eastern. Those are November 14 at 19:00 UTC and November 15 at 02:00 UTC. Select a region above to see the full date and clock time, or use your device time zone. The converter uses named time zones rather than a permanent ET-to-UTC offset.

As of this November 15 review, the two published starts are past and no later exact start has been verified in our checked sources. That does not establish the current server state or an end time. Check Fortnite’s in-game news before joining. This page does not silently roll last Saturday’s clock forward by seven days.
The official event card displays a four-hour calendar span, while its text announces two separate rounds. Media schedules describe two-hour rounds. These cannot safely be treated as one consistent, verified end schedule. We convert the announced starts only and do not mark a round “live” from a guessed duration.
Players use several phrases when looking for a bonus window. This page groups “Fortnite boosted hours” and Treasure Hour time searches around the dated Treasure Hunters event. A title containing “hour” does not establish a sixty-minute duration. It also does not mean Captain’s Day, a shop rotation or another mode uses the same schedule.
For the Cursed event, Epic describes more frequent Cursed Sprites and a starting loadout with Lil Uzi Vert’s Lil’ SMG and a Self-Revive Device. Those details belong to that event. Do not assume the next session will repeat its equipment or reward conditions.
Epic’s chest-reward support page lists Pirate Shop Access at 1 in 137,500 in normal matches, with a 1.5× Treasure Hours reference multiplier. That corresponds to approximately 1 in 91,667; the planner calculates with 1.5/137,500 directly, avoiding rounding. Epic also says future Treasure Hours may change the rates. The published reference is not a live measurement of every session.
Put ordinary openings in the first field and eligible boosted openings in the second. One chest cannot belong to both fields. The model multiplies the miss probabilities for the two groups, then subtracts from one:
A 1.5× per-opening boost does not always mean a 1.5× final cumulative chance. As the number of attempts grows, cumulative probabilities approach 100% at different speeds. The displayed difference is in percentage points: a change from 1% to 1.5% is 0.5 percentage points, not 0.5% relative growth.
The comparison holds the total number of openings constant, so you can isolate the effect of changing some of their conditions. It does not estimate how many chests you can reach per hour. Use your own route and play-time records for that. It also assumes independent eligible rolls; it cannot inspect duplicate protection, a changing reward pool or game-account entitlement. Rare drops remain possible to miss across an entire session.
The token chance calculator handles a custom fixed denominator and target probability. The chest simulator and personal counter keep virtual examples apart from the openings you actually record. Read the drop-rate evidence for the source behind the updated baseline.
The verified Cursed starts convert to 19:00 GMT on November 14 and 02:00 GMT on November 15, 2026. These are dated starts, not a confirmed recurring timetable. Britain is on GMT for these dates.
The listed starts are global instants displayed in different time zones. A Sunday date in another region is the same round, not evidence of an additional server-specific session.
No. The clock compares your device time with stored, sourced start times. The planner runs locally and neither reads Epic’s servers nor awards in-game items.
Existing fixed-rate calculator links and simulator histories keep their chosen denominator. New default sessions use the published normal-match baseline. This separate planner records the normal and boosted counts without changing your personal chest counter.
