There are many seasonal events held throughout the year in Final Fantasy XIV, and it can be hard to keep up with what’s coming and going. To help sort your schedule, we’ve got a rolling list of the usual FFXIV events, timing estimates, and even speculation about what’s to come.
Below, we’ll outline the FFXIV 2024 calendar’s confirmed and tentative event schedule — along with some events that may have wrapped up for the year. Additionally, you can check out the MMO’s usual calendar too, along with a little explainer on each of the year’s festivities.
The FFXIV 2024 event calendar
It’s hard to give an exact date for every event, as the time changes a little every year, and there’s no guessing when irregular events (such as The Maiden’s Rhapsody) may return. That being said, there are a few that (usually) loop around every year.

Other FFXIV events in 2024
Heavensturn
Heavensturn was the first seasonal event in FFXIV this year, running from December 31, 2023 to January 2024. This year, the event offered the Ryunosuke minion. To read more about the event, check out our guide on Heavensturn 2024.
Yo-kai Watch: Gather One, Gather All
We have no confirmed date for the return of the Yo-kai event, hints were dropped during Fan Festival events last year that it would be coming back “at some point”.
For those who have missed the event during its previous appearances, the Yo-kai Watch crossover event gives players the opportunity to take part in FATEs while equipped with a Yo-kai watch to earn medals, which can then be exchanged for mounts, minions, and even weapons.
With Yo-kai Watch celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and a new game being released in the next few months, only time will tell when this event is likely to return to FFXIV. For more information about the event, check out the special website for the 2020 version.
The Path to Infernal
Coming at some point in early April, with no confirmed date as of yet, the FFXVI crossover event will see players working with Clive to defeat Eikons. Rewards for this event include:
- Torgal mount
- Torgal minion
- Clive’s Attire
