After approximately two months of the LoH mini-season, the time has arrived for the launch of Diablo 4 Season 14. Blizzard is returning to their mid-year schedule for this release, similar to Season 9 from the previous year. This means that players in the US will experience a delay of two hours compared to the early-morning release of last season, while in Europe, it will be an evening release as usual.
If you’re curious about when the Season of Death Awakening begins in your timezone, here’s what you need to know.
What time will Diablo 4 Season 14 go live in your timezone?
Blizzard has announced that Diablo 4 Season 14 will start precisely at 10 am PDT (1 pm EDT noon) on June 30. As always, it’s a global launch for all platforms, but this means that players in Australia/NZ and some parts of East Asia will technically experience the start on July 1.
Below are the Diablo 4 Season 14 release timings worldwide:
- 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 is uncommon for Diablo 4 to deviate from its scheduled start time, but if you’re planning to compete on the leaderboards, it’s wise to allow for an additional 5-10 minutes for potential server queues.

While it’s difficult to surpass the comprehensive release of the last season, Season 14 brings some exciting changes. Although it doesn’t coincide with a DLC launch, it offers new experiences. The class balance remains largely unchanged, with the Apocalypse Warlock surviving the initial patch unaltered. However, significant itemization changes promise a fresh experience.
Specifically, all Uniques will now feature two fixed guaranteed mods, and Mythics can be enchanted to reroll one mod. The new seasonal mechanic, a Realmwalker horde-rush known as Pandemonium Ruptures, is directly linked to this system.
During the first week of Season 14, players can try out the Warlock class for free, although it is usually only available with a DLC. This trial period provides ample time to discover preferred builds and conquer the game.
A complete list of the guaranteed mods for Uniques can be found in the patch notes. If you’re looking to decide on your playstyle this season, here’s how the Season 14 PTR meta unfolded.
