It is impossible to predict the exact time of the day, so the countdown below is just an approximation timed to the indicated day.

In the table, you can find the history of the starting and ending date of each season. There is no off-season, but just a server downtime period prior the successive season.

The purpose of this page: I got annoyed of skimming articles burying the end date in a long text to keep us longer on the website, so I decided to create a countdown myself. I will update it at the start of each new season. You are welcome :).
