Mastery Monday Fortnite (October 12): Start Times and Sprite Bonuses
Fortnite Mastery Monday is back today, October 12, giving players another chance to level up their Sprite collection faster. With the new Trick or Treat Sprites now available, this is the perfect time to master the Halloween variants you’ve been collecting. Here is when today’s event starts, how long it lasts, and all the bonuses you can take advantage of.
What Time Does Mastery Monday Start in Fortnite Today?
Mastery Monday starts at 6:00 AM PT / 9:00 AM ET today, Monday, October 12. The weekly Fortnite event lasts for 24 hours, with the bonuses ending at 6:00 AM PT / 9:00 AM ET on Tuesday, October 13.
That gives you 24 hours to bring your new Halloween Sprites into matches and work toward their Mastery rewards. If you’ve already picked up a few Trick or Treat variants since their release, today’s increased Sprite XP should make leveling your collection a lot easier.

Master Your New Trick or Treat Sprites During Mastery Monday
The new Trick or Treat Sprites arrived in Fortnite Thursday, October 8, giving players another set of Halloween variants to chase down during Fortnitemares 2026. If you’ve spent the last few days collecting them, today is the perfect time to start mastering your latest additions.
This is the first Mastery Monday since the Trick or Treat Sprites were released. That means you can now take advantage of double Sprite XP to level your new Halloween collection faster. If you have several sitting unfinished, it’s a good excuse to swap them into your matches and make some progress.
With Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 only weeks away from ending, these weekly events are also a good opportunity to tackle any Sprite Mastery rewards you still want to unlock. Even if you’re still searching for a particular Trick or Treat Sprite, the extra Sprite Dust and Portable Extractors make today worth jumping into.
