Sea of Thieves took a big step a few years into its lifespan by introducing seasons. Now, these aren’t your traditional Stardew Valley-style seasons, but rather periods of time with a particular theme in which players can earn certain in-game rewards and participate in events.
Since their inclusion, each season has lasted a few months before sailing off into the sunset, and each has introduced small updates like new features, cosmetics, events, and additions to the Pirate Emporium. It’s worth getting a handle on what to expect from each new season, and in particular when the current season ends and the next one begins so you can make sure to do everything you want before its conclusion. Here are all the start and end dates for Sea of Thieves’ seasons, including the current Season 7.

When does Sea of Thieves Season 8 start?
We know that the next Sea of Thieves season will be PvP-focused, coming off the results of the latest Adventure, Return of the Damned — prepare for an Athena’s Fortune vs. Reaper’s Bones stand-off. Season 8 of Sea of Thieves is due to arrive in port on Tuesday, November 22, so make sure to get all your necessary seafaring business in order before then. Even less is known about Season 9, but it’s expected sometime in late February or early March 2023 judging by the length of previous seasons.
