When Does Cheat Code Monday Start in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4?

For players tracking the weekly reset in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4: Override, the event formerly known as Mastery Monday returns this week with a new identity. Now officially rebranded as Cheat Code Monday, the next session is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 7, 2026, at 9:00 AM ET.

The event serves as the primary window for players to optimize their Sprite progression. For the duration of the 24-hour period, ending Tuesday at 9:00 AM ET, players receive 2x Sprite XP and 2x Sprite Dust for all successful extractions. This rebranding aligns with the current season’s “Override” theme.

Global Start Times for Cheat Code Monday

According to Cheat Code Monday reporting, the event launches simultaneously across all regions. While the North American start time is set for the morning, international players will see the event go live in the afternoon or evening:

Pacific Time (PT): 6:00 AM
Eastern Time (ET): 9:00 AM
British Summer Time (BST): 2:00 PM
Central European Summer Time (CEST): 3:00 PM
Japan Standard Time (JST): 10:00 PM

Players can earn double Sprite XP and Dust during the 24-hour window.

The 24-hour window is critical for long-term progression, as Sprites collected during these events are eventually moved to the “Sprite Garden,” a seasonal feature designed to immortalize a player’s collection after Chapter 7 Season 4 concludes.

Immediate Alternatives: Cheat Master Power Hour

If you are looking to grind before Monday, Epic Games is also hosting Cheat Master Power Hour sessions today, Saturday, September 5. These are shorter, high-intensity windows that offer similar bonuses to the Monday event but only last for 60 minutes per session.

Today’s Power Hour schedule is as follows:

Session 1: 2:00 PM ET
Session 2: 9:00 PM ET

In addition to active events, players can boost their inventories using new Admin Panel codes released this week. Redeeming “JONESYISGOLDEN” will grant a Golden Jonesy Sprite, while “GOTTAGOFAST” unlocks a Cheat Master Sonic Sprite. These codes can be entered directly through the in-game menu to provide immediate boosts to Sprite XP and Dust reserves ahead of the Monday reset.
