When Does the Current Apex Legends Season End?

If you’re wondering how much time you have left to grind through Season 26, you’re not alone. Apex Legends typically runs seasons for about three months, and Season 26 kicked off on August 5, 2025, at 10 a.m. PT with the usual lineup of goodies – a fresh ranked season, new battle pass, and some limited-time events to keep things interesting. While EA hasn’t officially announced when Season 26 wraps up, we can make a pretty educated guess based on how long previous seasons have lasted.

Most seasons run anywhere from 84 to 105 days – Season 24 was on the shorter side at 84 days, Season 15 stretched out to 105 days, and the most recent Season 25 lasted 92 days before ending on August 5th.  Given this pattern, Season 26 will likely end sometime in early November 2025 – probably the first week of the month.

Of course, Respawn could always extend things if they need more time for patches or balance updates. A recent leak revealing 21 upcoming characters and potential abilities also suggests Respawn is committed to long-term seasonal planning. But this gives you a solid target to work with for your ranked climb or battle pass completion.

Key Highlights You Shouldn’t Miss Before Season 26 Ends

Season 26 also features the Galactic Games event, running from August 19 through September 9, 2025. It brings themed challenges, event-specific packs, and exclusive cosmetics. The star of the show is the Grand Slam Bat, a universal melee skin with fiery visuals that set it apart from other melee items. The Bat is locked behind Galactic Games event packs, and Respawn hasn’t confirmed whether it will return in the future. That makes it a highly sought-after item, especially for collectors or players who enjoy showing off rare cosmetics.

Season 26 once more shows how Apex Legends relies on a mix of structure and small surprises to keep players invested. With the ranked rewards being tied toward a projected early November cutoff, and the Galactic Games adding a strong cosmetic incentive, the remaining days give players plenty to work toward.
