Diablo 4 Season 11 release time countdown

Diablo 4 Season 11 kicks in this week, and the release time is also officially confirmed. With many returning players eager to sample the crafting changes brought on by the 2.5.0 update, this final seasonal reset of 2025 might turn out to be a hit. Completionist players will also be glad to know that S11 might finally fix the optional quest that's been bugged for almost this whole year.

If you're lining up for the day-one patch experience, here's when Diablo 4 Season 11 starts in various server regions.

When does Diablo 4 Season 11 start for players across the world?

Diablo 4 Season 11 will go live at 8:30 pm PST on December 11 (Thursday), right after the conclusion of The Game Awards 2025. This late evening release time in the US, now officially confirmed by Blizzard, will technically put the release date into December 12 (Friday) for most of the world, including Europe and Asia.

Here's what the release time for Diablo 4 S11 looks like for various time zones across the world:

United States and South America: 8:30 pm PST / 9:30 pm MST / 10:30 pm CST / 11:30 pm EST / 11:30 pm BRT (December 11, 2025)
Europe: 4:30 am GMT / 4:30 am UTC / 5:30 am CEST / 6:30 am EET (December 12, 2025)
Africa: 6:30 am SAST (December 12, 2025)
Asia: 8:30 am GST / 10 am IST / 12:30 pm PHT / 12:30 pm CST (Beijing Time) / 1:30 pm JST/KST (December 12, 2025)
Australia: 3:30 pm AEDT/ 5:30 pm NZDT (December 12, 2025)

The release is concurrent across all platforms, so console players will also get to start Season 11 at the same time. In case the list does not include your regional timeline, here's a countdown to dispel any doubts:

Here's a quick rundown on what's coming (Image via Blizzard)

Many in the community are dubbing this season "Looter Reborn 3.0", for some relatively big overhauls to Masterworking and Tempering (here's our two pence on the Masterworking changes from the PTS experience). Blizzard also did some tempering of their own after the PTS feedback, and walked back some of the Masterworking changes later.

The top-end of crafting is also getting a little love with the new Sanctification mechanic, not to be confused with PoE2's Sanctification.

For those who played in the PTS and are wondering which builds are good in Diablo 4 Season 11, here are all the changes since the PTS version of 2.5.0 as of right now.
