What is the current Apex Legends season?
Season 30: Marked is current. It launched on August 4, 2026, after Overclocked. Its headline systems include a Bloodhound rework and the looting overhaul Respawn previewed in its 2026 roadmap.
No official Season 30 end date was posted by EA when this page was updated. A normal three-month cadence points toward early November, but that is an estimate and is intentionally not placed in the confirmed-date table.
How long do Apex Legends seasons last?
A completed Apex season has averaged about 92 days. That is slightly more than three months, although Respawn does not promise a fixed length.
- Longest: Season 3: Meltdown, 126 days.
- Shortest: Season 6: Boosted, 78 days.
- Typical modern cadence: roughly 84–98 days, with a midseason split and a separate Battle Pass for each split.
The averages use the 29 completed numbered seasons and exclude the 2019 Preseason and the still-active Season 30.
What resets in a new Apex season?
EA lists Ranked Battle Royale rank and Battle Pass levels among the progress that resets. Apex Coins, Exotic Shards, Heirloom Shards, Legend Tokens, Crafting Metals, and owned cosmetics remain on the account.
Ranked rules can change independently of the calendar. Our Apex ranked system guide explains the current scoring and reset rules, while returning players can use our Apex beginner tips to refresh the fundamentals.

Sources and update policy
Historical dates were checked against EA's official season archive. The Season 30 start is supported by EA's August 4 announcement, and current plans are cross-checked with Respawn's 2026 roadmap.
Apex's cadence is regular enough to plan around, but not fixed enough to guess exact dates responsibly. The table separates confirmed history from the still-open current season.
