When Does The Hollow Start Roblox? 2026 Schedule

The Hollow Roblox Start Date and Time

Roblox's official experience description separates the hub opening from the main event launch. Both happened on October 22, but the gameplay start was one hour after the hub opened. The official Roblox Newsroom announcement also confirms the October 22 opening date.

The October 22 launch took place during Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7). Eastern Time was EDT (UTC-4). These are the confirmed launch times converted into several common time zones.

• Pacific Time (PDT): Hub opened October 22 at 2:00 PM; event started at 3:00 PM.
• Eastern Time (EDT): Hub opened October 22 at 5:00 PM; event started at 6:00 PM.
• Central Time (CDT): Hub opened October 22 at 4:00 PM; event started at 5:00 PM.
• British Summer Time (BST): Hub opened October 22 at 10:00 PM; event started at 11:00 PM.
• UTC: Hub opened October 22 at 9:00 PM; event started at 10:00 PM.
• Roblox Plus early access: Active subscribers could enter the hub from 12:00 PM PT on October 22, two hours before the general opening.

What Time Does The Hollow Update Every Day?

Roblox confirms that The Hollow introduces a different monster and a new maze each day over nine days. Players explore the changing environment, search for clues, avoid monsters, and complete quests. The event features characters from nine participating Roblox horror experiences.

However, Roblox has not confirmed an exact daily release hour in the official sources checked. The October 22 launch time of 3:00 PM PT should not automatically be treated as the daily reset time. Roblox also has not published a verified date-by-date monster release schedule in those sources.

The official announcement confirms daily creator livestreams, including appearances by creators such as KreekCraft, Bundun, LimaMosca, and SirDapper. It does not establish one universal broadcast time for every day. Players looking for the next maze or monster should consult the official event hub and Roblox announcements rather than relying on an assumed daily countdown.

• Confirmed: Nine days of changing maze challenges and monster encounters.
• Confirmed: A new monster joins the event each day.
• Confirmed: Daily creator livestream activity.
• Not confirmed: The exact daily maze or monster release hour.
• Not confirmed: A complete official schedule assigning each monster to a specific calendar date.

When Is The Hollow Finale on October 31?

The Hollow's live Halloween finale is scheduled for Saturday, October 31, 2026. Roblox's October 21 announcement specifies that the finale will begin during the morning of October 31, Pacific Time, and will be available to players.

Roblox has not confirmed an exact starting hour or minute for the finale in the official announcement or experience description checked. It would therefore be inaccurate to advertise a specific finale time such as 9:00 AM or 12:00 PM PT.

The finale marks the conclusion of the event's main survival storyline, but it is not the same as the final reward collection deadline. Players should distinguish the October 31 finale from the later November 2 cutoff.

• Finale date: Saturday, October 31, 2026.
• Confirmed time window: Morning, Pacific Time.
• Exact start time: Not officially confirmed in the checked sources.
• Reward collection continues after the finale until the announced November 2 deadline.

When Does The Hollow End? November 2 Reward Deadline

According to Roblox's official Newsroom announcement, players can continue collecting The Hollow rewards until Monday, November 2, 2026, at 12:00 PM PST. This is the clearest officially published deadline for obtaining event rewards.

The time-zone distinction matters. Pacific Standard Time begins on November 1, 2026, so the November 2 deadline uses PST (UTC-8), not the PDT offset used during the October 22 launch. Players should use the November 2 conversions below when planning their final reward collection.

Roblox confirms that completing event quests can award exclusive UGC and other rewards. However, the announcement does not establish separate expiration times for every individual item or Marketplace listing. It also does not confirm the precise moment when the hub becomes inaccessible. To avoid missing event rewards, complete available quests and collect their rewards before the published deadline.

• Pacific Standard Time (PST): November 2 at 12:00 PM.
• Eastern Standard Time (EST): November 2 at 3:00 PM.
• Central Standard Time (CST): November 2 at 2:00 PM.
• Greenwich Mean Time (GMT): November 2 at 8:00 PM.
• UTC: November 2 at 8:00 PM.
• Confirmed cutoff: Event reward collection. An exact hub shutdown time has not been separately confirmed.

How to Join The Hollow Before the Event Ends

Players can access the event through the official The Hollow experience at https://www.roblox.com/games/116463962153167/The-Hollow, published by Roblox Presents. The experience description confirms that quests are available both within The Hollow and in participating Roblox experiences.

Roblox describes the event as accessible to Roblox account holders, subject to regional age and access restrictions. A paid Roblox Plus subscription is not required for ordinary participation; the subscription offers separate benefits, including early hub access and exclusive cosmetic features.

For the most reliable timing information, use the official experience page and Roblox's October 21 Newsroom announcement. The launch date, Halloween finale date, and reward collection deadline are confirmed, while exact daily release times and the precise finale start hour remain unannounced in the checked official sources.
