All matchmaking has been disabled ahead of 'The End' event taking place. Lobbies will be open from 20:30 GMT / 15:30 ET / 12:30 PT. The event is slated to begin at five minutes past the hour.

Fortnite - 'The End' Start Date & Time
'The End' event will take place on Saturday, 4 December, a day earlier than usual. A start time of 21:00 GMT / 16:00 ET / 13:00 PT has been set. In typical fashion, the event will not actually begin until around 5 minutes after these proposed times.
General matchmaking will be disabled around half an hour before the event is due to start. This will give you enough time to finish your final match and jump into the event before it begins.
