Final Fantasy XIV: Current and Upcoming Events for 2026

MMOs thrive on seasonal events, and Final Fantasy 14 is no exception. The game has established a solid lineup of recurring festivities, and while exact dates aren’t usually revealed far in advance, you can count on them happening around the same time each year.

Expect the usual suspects like Valentine’s, Easter, and Halloween events—each sporting their own unique Final Fantasy twist—alongside celebrations inspired by Japanese traditions and some that are purely fictional. Occasionally, the game also features special limited-time collaborations, such as the event with Final Fantasy 15 that introduced the Regalia mount.

To help you stay in the loop with all the seasonal fun, here’s a rundown of the current Final Fantasy 14 event, what’s on the horizon, and any past festivities you might have missed.

Right now, Final Fantasy 14 is hosting its annual Make it Rain campaign, kicking off in Ul’dah with the quest ‘It Could Happen to You’. This event boosts MGP earnings from Gold Saucer activities and offers discounts on select MGP-related items from the campaign attendant.

This is also your chance to snag the sought-after Senor Otter backpack, which unexpectedly appeared in players’ inventories due to a bug in Patch 7.5.

Looking ahead, the next event on the calendar is the Moonfire Faire, which takes place every August. While specific details are still under wraps, the main festivities are typically centered in Costa del Sol and often feature some beach-themed rewards.

Although we don’t always have precise dates for seasonal events well in advance, they generally fall within the same month each year, making it easier to anticipate Final Fantasy 14 events for 2026:

If you’ve missed out on any past event rewards, don’t stress too much. Items from seasonal vendors often make a return for free in-game, and things like mounts or minions may pop up in the online store for a small fee during the next year’s celebrations.
