D2R Ladder Reset Countdown and Season 16 Start Time
Season 16 of Diablo II: Resurrected starts Friday, November 13, 2026 at 5 PM PST (8 PM EST). In Europe that is Saturday, November 14 at 1 AM GMT (2 AM CET), and in Asia it is 9 AM China Standard Time (10 AM Korea Standard Time) the same Saturday. The countdown at the top of this page runs to the next scheduled ladder reset in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
Three tabs sit below the timer. Live Progress is a feed of milestones such as levels, quests and boss kills logged during a reset, Run Schedule lets team members plan and join team runs, and Past Resets lists earlier resets with their dates. Run Schedule needs a team, so find one first if you want it.
Rosters are easiest to join before launch night. Create an account, fill in your Ladder Setup and apply on the teams page, or read How to Find a D2R Season 16 Team.

What happens to my ladder characters when the season ends?
Ladder characters move to the matching non-ladder group. Items in that group's Shared Stash go into Withdraw Only tabs, which hold last season's items through the next season, and anything still in them when that season ends is lost. What happens to your stash when a season ends has the checklist.
Do I need a team to use this page?
No. The countdown, Live Progress and Past Resets are open to everyone. Only the Run Schedule tab needs you to be on a team.
