Fortnite Servers Down for v36.20 — Here’s When You Can Play Again
Hey everyone, if you’ve been trying to jump into Fortnite today and found yourself locked out, you’re not alone. The Fortnite servers have officially gone offline this morning—Tuesday, July 15—starting at around 4 AM ET. It’s all part of the scheduled maintenance for the brand-new patch update v36.20, and it’s bringing some seriously exciting content to the game.
Now, before you start panicking, let me clear the air: this downtime is totally normal and expected. Epic Games tends to do this with each major patch. But of course, the big question everyone’s asking is— when will the Fortnite servers be back online?
Well, based on what Epic’s said and previous patch history, the downtime is expected to last anywhere between two to four hours. So that means, ideally, servers should be back up and running sometime between 6 AM and 8 AM ET. That said, the exact timing can vary slightly depending on server location and update implementation, so just hang tight and keep an eye on the official @FortniteStatus on X (formerly Twitter) for real-time updates.

And let me tell you, this patch is worth the wait. We’re deep into Chapter 6 Season 3—called Super —and it’s all themed around superheroes. This update introduces a much-hyped Superman crossover , a brand-new permanent Blitz Royale mode, and an event called Boom Bonanza . Players can also expect new mythic items, a refreshed meta with rebalanced weapons, and even a revamped hero ranking system.
Another thing to note—matchmaking was already disabled starting at 3:30 AM ET today, so if you tried jumping into a game around then and got kicked out or couldn’t connect, that’s why. It’s always best to avoid entering any matches around half an hour before a scheduled downtime, just to be safe.
Given that the last patch (v36.10) was released about a month ago, expectations are sky-high for this one. Fans have been itching for new content, and this superhero-themed season is delivering in full force. Just be a little patient—server updates like this are essential to keep things running smoothly and to ensure all the shiny new features work as intended.
So while we wait for Fortnite to go live again, maybe grab a snack, check out the patch notes, or catch up on what’s coming with the Superman event. As soon as the servers are back, you can expect the community to light up again—and I’ll see you all on the island!
