What Apex Legends Season Is It Right Now? Season 30: Marked (2026)
What Apex Legends season is it right now? As of October 16, 2026, the live season is Season 30: Marked, and the game is in Ranked Split 2. Marked launched August 4, 2026; Split 2 began September 15. Season 29, Overclocked, has ended. This update checks EA’s current season guide and official season announcements so you can distinguish a live split or event from a new season.
Quick answer: Apex Legends is in Season 30
The current Apex Legends season is Season 30: Marked. EA’s season guide names Marked as the newest season and gives its launch date as August 4, 2026. EA’s previous-season list dates Season 29: Overclocked from May 5 through August 3, so the old article’s claim that Season 29 was still live after that handoff is out of date.
| Question | Current answer |
|---|---|
| Season number and name | Season 30: Marked |
| Season 30 launch | August 4, 2026 |
| Current Ranked phase | Split 2, started September 15, 2026 |
| Season-wide end date | No exact date confirmed in the EA season pages checked for this update |
For the dated history, see EA’s Apex Legends seasons and updates guide. The launch timing and major changes are also covered in EA’s Marked patch notes.
Which split is live, and does it mean a new season?
As of October 16, Apex is in Season 30 Split 2. EA’s September 14 midseason notes say Split 2 starts September 15. A Ranked split marks a new half of the same season: it can bring a rank reset, balance adjustments, map or loot updates, and another Battle Pass track, but it does not change the season number to 31.
The official Marked midseason patch notes describe the move into Split 2 and its balance and loot updates. If you see a midseason Battle Pass, a changed Ranked map rotation, or a fresh event, those details alone do not mean Apex has entered Season 31.
What changed in Season 30: Marked?
Marked’s main update combined Legend changes, a World’s Edge refresh, and changes to weapons and loot. It is more useful to identify these as the season’s highlights than to treat every later event as a separate season.
- Bloodhound’s rework: the kit includes enemy-footstep tracking and white ravens, changes to the tactical scan, and the new Allfather’s Cloak ultimate.
- Loba and Rampart updates: both Legends received ability adjustments, including faster Loba tactical use and changes to Rampart’s walls and Sheila.
- World’s Edge changes: Season 30 added or revised points of interest, including East Village, War Camp, Tree Settlement, and the return of Sorting Factory and Stacks.
- Weapon and loot changes: Corrupted Attachments arrived with trade-offs, high-tier loot became less common, and energy weapons received a regenerating ammunition stockpile rather than relying on energy ammo bricks.
- Split 2 adjustments: the midseason update brought another round of Legend balancing, loot availability changes, and weapon adjustments.
EA’s official notes provide the full details because individual abilities, loot tables, and map rotations can change in a patch. Use the launch notes for the season’s original changes and the midseason notes for the later Split 2 adjustments.
When does Season 30 end?
As of October 16, 2026, EA’s season guide says Apex seasons usually last about three months, but the current Marked pages checked for this rewrite do not provide a confirmed Season 30 end date or a launch date for Season 31. That makes early November a reasonable estimate based on the usual season length, not an official schedule. Check the game’s current Battle Pass or season countdown and EA’s dated news before planning around a particular day.
One easy source of confusion is the Blood Pact event. EA lists that event for October 13 through November 3, 2026. Those are the event dates; by themselves, they do not confirm that Season 30 ends on November 3. The event and the season are separate calendars.
EA says an Apex season is a roughly three-month content period, with Battle Passes for each split, balance changes, and sometimes new features, maps, weapons, or Legends. The Blood Pact event announcement and the official Apex news page help verify what is live without confusing an event end date with the season handoff.
How to check the current Apex season yourself
- Launch Apex Legends and let the game finish downloading any pending update.
- From the lobby, look at the current season artwork and name. Open the Battle Pass tab for the active pass and its displayed progress or countdown.
- For competitive play, open Ranked and check the split information there. A new split can change Ranked details while the season remains Season 30.
- If the game has been offline or your client appears behind, compare the title and date against EA’s latest Apex news and patch notes.
Use the live game for the status shown to your account, and EA’s current posts for dated announcements. Older search results can remain visible after a season ends, so check their publication date before relying on them.
