Diablo 4: When does Season 8 end?

As most players are aware, Diablo 4 Season 8 has a shorter season than normal. The Season of Belial’s Return has been an interesting one, and while it’s not the best season Blizzard Entertainment has come up with, we found it to be fun enough to return to after our review. It’s also the first season I received a Mythic Unique, so I feel some measure of satisfaction from playing through the Boss Power season.

Fans know that Season 9 looks to use customized spells, in Season 9, Sins of the Horadrim. But what many might be wondering is when Diablo 4 Season 8 will actually end. We do know things will go back to normal after the current shorter season. Thankfully, if you’ve logged in and checked your Battle Pass, it’s pretty clear that July 1, 2025, marks the end of Season 8 in D4.

When can you expect Season 8 to end in Diablo 4?

According to the Reliquaries screen of Season 8 of Diablo 4 ends on July 1, 2025. As of the time of writing, instead of a specific date, it only says that the Reliquary — formerly the Battle Pass — ends in 31 days, i.e., July 1. Since there’s never a gap between seasons, it suggests that Season 9 will begin on the same day as well.

That means there’s about a month left to wrap up all the Reliquary rewards and get the most out of the various boss powers you’ve accumulated throughout the Season of Belial’s Return.

However, it’s worth noting that this could change, and there is a precedent. Season 7 was extended by two weeks, as there was still work to be done on the current Season. If Blizzard feels that they need to push things back, then they will, and we’ll update this accordingly.

However, right now, Diablo 4 Season 8 is ends on July 1, 2025, right in time to celebrate Independence Day (in America) later in the week. There might be some maintenance between the two seasons, but none have been announced on the Battle Net app as of this writing.

Once Season 8 ends, players will be able to create new characters and check out Season 9. In the upcoming season, Sins of the Horadrim, they will be able to farm up new Horadric Jewels and create devastatingly powerful customized spells.
