Blizzard has announced on the forums that the first season of Diablo 3 begins this Friday, August 29th. Opening times are slightly different for different regions, but Blizzard has got you covered in the full post below.

Greetings, nephalem!

We’re pleased to announce that our first Diablo III Season is scheduled to begin thisFriday, August 29th. To ensure the roll-out process goes as smoothly as possible for all players, we’re planning both a delayed and staggered release, with different gameplay regions launching the season at different times after patch 2.1.0 ships. 

For reference, below are the current launch times for Season 1:

Asia: 9:00 a.m. PDT (1:00 a.m. KST, UTC +9)
Europe: 12:00 p.m. PDT (9:00 p.m. CEST, UTC +2)
Americas: 6:00 p.m. PDT (UTC -10)

Please note that these times are tentative and subject to change. If they do, we will be sure to update this thread. 

Thanks!

Friendly reminder that Patch 2.1 should be dropping as we speak, so you’ve got a couple days to prepare your builds and get ready to rumble. See you in Sanctuary, Nephalem.
