Every date is re-checked nightly. Historical cadence is context only — an official date always replaces an estimate, the same day, and the correction records what the date was changed from.

Diablo 3 Season End Date History

Recent Diablo 3 seasons: Season 38: Ethereal Memory ran 86 days (Mar 27 – Jun 21, 2026), Season 37: The Forbidden Archives ran 107 days (Dec 5, 2025 – Mar 22, 2026), Season 36: The Lords of Hell ran 79 days (Sep 12 – Nov 30, 2025), and Season 35: Eternal Conflict ran 93 days (Jun 6 – Sep 7, 2025).

Season length varies from about 11 to 15 weeks depending on content scope, which is why the site tracks an estimate rather than a fixed countdown until Blizzard confirms the reset.

Season 39: Shades of the Nephalem Overview

Season 39 reintroduces the Shades of the Nephalem theme: a 4th Kanai's Cube slot lets players equip a second power from one of the Weapon, Armor, or Jewelry categories, on top of the usual three.

The seasonal buff, Shadows of the Past, spawns a scaling AI-controlled shadow clone of your class when you activate a Shrine or Pylon, running one of three randomized builds for 60 seconds to boost damage and survivability.
