Epic and Disney are bringing D23 2024 to Fortnite Live

Disney and Epic are livestreaming part of D23 2024 in Fortnite this year, with reveals from Disney and for Epic’s multiplayer game in store. Specifically, it’s the D23 Horizons part of the showcase, and you’ll get a free Wolverine-themed Peely back bling if you stick around the showcase island for a little while.

We've broken down the Disney D23 Fortnite start times below, with an explainer for how to watch the event.

Disney D23 Fortnite showcase time

The D23 Fortnite event starts on Aug. 10, 2024, at:

• 7:30 p.m. PT
• 10:30 p.m. ET
• 3:30 a.m. BST
• 4:30 a.m. CET
• 11:30 a.m. JST

That’s when you can access the island and find a spot to view the livestream. The actual stream beings one hour later.

If you stick around for 10 minutes or more, you’ll get a new Wolverine Peely back bling for your troubles. Epic also said the bling may show up in the item shop later, in keeping with their changes to Fortnite battle pass exclusives.

If you can’t make it when the stream starts, you’ll have plenty of chances to see it and get your Wolverine Peely bling. Epic said the D23 Disney Horizons event will stick around for just under a week, until Aug. 16, 2024, with the stream replaying on loop during this time.
