Splatoon 3 Fresh Season 2023 start time

While the Splatoon Twitter account has stated that Fresh Season 2023 has a start date of March 1, that is the date it will begin in Europe. Europe is ahead, so players in North America can expect the update to drop a few hours sooner than the promised date. We’ve seen this with the previous updates for the game, so we can expect the same to happen here. Fresh Season 2023 is expected to drop at 4 PM PT/6 PM CT/7 PM ET while it will begin at midnight for those in the United Kingdom.
