After just about two months of the LoH mini-season, the release time is Diablo 4 Season 14 is already here. Blizzard are reverting to their mid-year timings for this, same as Season 9 from last year. That means US players will have to wait two more hours compared to the early-morning release from last season, while for Europe it will be evening as usual.
In case you’re wondering when the Season of Death Awakening is starting in your regional timing, here’s the rub.
What time will Diablo 4 Season 14 go live in your timezone?
Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 4 Season 14 is going to commence at exactly 10 am PDT (1 pm EDT noon) on June 30. Like always, it’s a global release for all platforms, but that does mean Australia/NZ and some places in East Asia are technically getting it on July 1.
Here’s the Diablo 4 Season 14 release timinigs across the world:
- United States and South America: 10 am PDT / 11 am MDT / 12 pm CDT (noon) / 1 pm EDT / 2 pm BRT (June 30, 2026)
- Europe: 5 pm GMT / 5 pm UTC / 6 pm BST / 7 pm CET / 7 pm EET (June 30, 2026)
- Africa: 7 pm SAST (June 30, 2026)
- Asia: 8 pm MSK / 9 pm GST / 10:30 pm IST / 1:00 am PHT (past midnight on July 1) / 1:00 am CST (Beijing Time) / 2 am JST/KST (July 1, 2026)
- Oceania: 3 am AEST / 5 am NZST (July 1, 2026)
It’s very rare for Diablo 4 to ever stray from this pre-announced start time, but if you’re planning to race the leaderboards, it’s best to account for 5-10 minutes of buffer for server queues and so on.
In case the list above doesn’t include your regional time, here’s a precise countdown:
It’s hard to dwarf the replete release of the last Season. However, while Season 14 doesn’t have the thunder of co-signing the release of a DLC, it’s doing its part to shake things up. While the class balance left things about the same (Apocalypse Warlock survives the debut patch unscathed), the big itemization change is going to make the experience fresh.
Namely, all Uniques will have two fixed guaranteed mods now, and Mythics can be enchanted to reroll one mod. The actual seasonal mechanic, a new Realmwalker horde-rush called the Pandemonium Ruptures, is tied to the latter system directly.
For the first week of Season 14, you can also demo the Warlock for free (otherwise, it’s a DLC-gated class). That gives you plenty of time to find your favorite build, and beat the whole thing too.
You can read a full list of the pair of guaranteed mods for Uniques in the patch ntoes here. However, if you want to just figure out what to play this time, here’s how the Season 14 PTR meta shook out.
