Phasmophobia’s first seasonal event of 2026 is nearly here, with Cursed Hollow set to return for the second year in a row. Events like this one offer some exclusive freebies you won’t want to miss out on, which means you’ll need to know when it’s starting.
Although this is a rerun of a past event, it does have some fresh rewards this time around. You can only get them by participating this year, so you’ll want to get going as soon as possible. Here’s when Phasmophobia’s 2026 installment of the Cursed Hollow event will begin.

Phasmophobia Cursed Hollow event update release date and time
The 2026 run of the Cursed Hollow event is officially slated to arrive on March 31. A precise launch time for the start of the event hasn’t been shared, and exact timings usually aren’t revealed ahead of updates. Luckily, though, most past updates have gone live at the same time, which means we can likely expect to see this one debut at 7am CT/1pm UTC.
Our countdown is set to the expected debut time, so you can check back here leading up to launch to see how much time is left before the spooky spring hauntings begin. If a different launch time is shared or any unexpected delays are announced, we’ll update all key details here. As long as everything goes as expected, though, here’s when you can start hunting.

When does the Easter 2026 event end in Phasmophobia?
The 2026 installment of Cursed Hollow will run from March 31 to April 21. This means you have exactly three full weeks to work through it. It’s a decent amount of time, but there’s a lot to get done, so you’ll want to ensure you start tackling it sooner rather than later.
