WoW Forever launch times for every region
Updated 2026-11-03
Blizzard launches Forever at the same moment worldwide, so the local time depends on where you live. These are the times from Blizzard's launch post:
| Region | Local time |
|---|---|
| Americas (PST) | 4 November, 3:00 pm |
| Brazil (BRT) | 4 November, 8:00 pm |
| UK (GMT) | 4 November, 11:00 pm |
| Central Europe (CET) | 5 November, 12:00 am |
| Taiwan (CST) | 5 November, 7:00 am |
| Korea (KST) | 5 November, 8:00 am |
| Australia and New Zealand (AEDT) | 5 November, 10:00 am |
| UTC | 4 November, 23:00 |
If your zone is missing, our launch hub converts the time to more zones and counts down in your browser's own time.
What happens at that moment
You can create characters and play from launch. The nine new dungeons are open from level 13. Raids wait until 9 December, for level 60 characters.
Things to sort out before then
- Install the game in advance and update your graphics drivers.
- Pick your ruleset and faction with your friends, because you can't group across either.
- Think of a main name and a second name; together they must be unique in your region.
The launch day checklist covers the rest.
