Diablo 4 Season 7 start time and countdown

Diablo 4 Season 7 is inbound quite soon, and returning players are excited for their first taste of fresh seasonal content in 2025. Thankfully, Blizzard has been benevolent enough to give us the exact start time for Season 7 in advance: it will go live at 10 a.m. PST on January 21, 2025, for all platforms and regions.

This seasonal reset timing is consistent with previous seasonal updates, but some deviation may happen due to last-minute technical setbacks.
