When does PoE 3.24 Necropolis League start?

The new Path of Exile Necropolis League begins on Friday, March 29, 2024, at 3 pm EST. Previous leagues have launched on PC first and consoles a week later. But for the first time, this is the league start time for both PCs and consoles as they will launch simultaneously.

In order to clear the way for the new Necropolis League, the previous Affliction League ended on March 27, 2024. This means the league lasted a little less than four months as the Affliction League launched on December 8, 2023. This is a bit longer than usual leagues which typically run for about three months.

Now that you know when the new league starts, make sure to pick the best league start build so you can quickly get ahead of the curve.
