Season 13 will come to an end on Monday, December 31 at 2pm PST / 5pm EST / 10pm UTC, which was expected given the usual length of each season.

In a surprise move, however, it was announced that Season 14 would get underway just two hours after the end of Season 13, signaling a drastic change from previous seasons.

Season 13 will officially end on Monday, December 31 at 2:00 p.m. PST (Monday, December 31 at 22:00 UTC). Season 14 is currently scheduled to launch two hours later on Monday, December 31 at 4:00 p.m. PST (Tuesday, January 1 at 00:00 UTC).

The surprise Season 14 start time will allow players the chance to ring in the New Year by getting their placement matches done almost immediately.
