Captain’s Day is a recurring event in Fortnite Treasure Hunters that adds new bosses, weapons, and Sprites to Battle Royale. The next Captain’s Day listed by Epic Games is Thursday, November 12, while the next weekly Treasure Chest refresh is Sunday, November 15. Here’s what Captain’s Day does and what’s coming each week.
What Does Captain’s Day Do in Fortnite?
Each week during Fortnite Treasure Hunters mini season, a new Captain takes over a POI named after them on Crossbones Isle. Players who defeat the Captain will then have a chance to get their signature weapon. For example, beating Lil Uzi Vert at Lil Uzi’s Stronghold gets you his Lil’ SMG exotic weapon.
The weekly updates also bring new Sprites and Map Fragments. Lil Uzi Vert’s Captain’s Day introduced the Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. Sprite, unlocked Cursed Sprite variants, and added a second Map Fragment.
Finally, Treasure Chest rewards rotate each Captain’s Day, too. If you’re still hunting for the Solid Gold Lil Uzi Vert Outfit, you have until the next chest refresh to find it before it’s removed from the treasure loot pool.
When Is the Next Fortnite Captain’s Day?
Epic Games’ Treasure Hunters schedule lists the next Captain’s Day for Thursday, November 12, 2026. Cap’n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto are expected to take over the resort as part of the November 15 update.
