Each new season in Apex Legends brings new ways to enjoy the game. From fresh maps to character introductions, powerful guns, and more, there’s always something to look forward to at the start of every season.
Apex seasons last roughly three months, so whether you’re looking to end the ranked split on a high note or simply complete your battle pass, it’s imperative you know exactly when one season ends.
The most recent season, called Amped, kicked off on Nov. 4, 2025. Amped reworked Olympus with new POIs and buffed several Legends, such as Valkyrie, Rampart, and Horizon.
All Apex Legends seasons start and end dates
Since the game’s release on Feb. 4, 2019, there have been a total of 28 seasons, including the Preseason. It wasn’t until Wild Frontier—the first official season that was released on March 19, over a month after the game’s surprise arrival on live servers—that fans got battle passes. In season two, Respawn Entertainment introduced ranked play, giving competitive players a way to build their skills.
From then on, fans have been treated to a number of changes to the base game with each new season. Apex looks wildly different from when it initially launched, now having 27 legends, five battle royale maps, and 29 weapons—a significant increase in each category compared to the game’s early days.
Here are all the seasons in Apex and their durations as of November 2025.
