WoW Timewalking Schedule 2026
Timewalking brings back the dungeons of one older expansion for a week at a time. In 2026 the rotation covers ten expansions, from Classic to Dragonflight, and the last week of the year is Shadowlands, from 30 December to 6 January 2027.
The calendar below is for EU realms. Dates use Central European time (CET in winter, CEST in summer), and each week runs from one Wednesday reset to the next, so the last day of every range ends at reset. US dates have their own table under the calendar.

Turbulent Timeways in 2026
Turbulent Timeways is a special series: Timewalking runs for several weeks in a row, with a different expansion each week. Blizzard ran two series in 2026, and both have ended.
| Series | EU dates | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Winter IV | 3 Dec 2025 – 11 Feb 2026 | One of four bronze Shadowlands mountsMastery of the Timeways in 5 weeks |
| Summer V | 1 Jul – 12 Aug 2026 | Spawn of Vyranoth mountMastery of the Timeways in 4 weeks |
Regular weeks don’t count toward these rewards. A new series can replace the regular rotation, so after a patch or a Blizzard announcement, open the event in your calendar and check the expansion before you plan a raid.
How to join Timewalking dungeons
- Open the calendar from the minimap and check which expansion is active.
- Press I, open Dungeon Finder and choose Timewalking in the dungeon type menu.
- Pick your role and join the queue. The menu shows which dungeons your character can enter.
- Open the Adventure Guide (Shift+J) and accept the weekly event quest before your first run.
- Finish the quest and turn it in before the event ends.
Classic Timewalking also runs in Retail, so you don’t need a Classic character. Chromie Time and ordinary legacy dungeons are separate activities. If Timewalking is missing from the menu, check that an event is active. Walking to the old dungeon entrance won’t start a Timewalking run; you need the queue for that.

Timewalking raids: access and rewards
Black Temple, Ulduar and Firelands open only in their expansion’s week, and only for a premade group. The random dungeon queue never puts you in a raid, so build a group in Group Finder or join one. If you would rather skip the group search, our WoW Timewalking raid boost covers all three raids.
Black Temple (The Burning Crusade)
The raid leader talks to Vormu in Shattrath, next to Cupri. The raid drops Timewalking loot and badges. The Warglaives of Azzinoth appearance comes from a separate achievement chain, so check its requirements before you count on it from a kill. We also run this raid as a Black Temple Timewalking boost.
Ulduar (Wrath of the Lich King)
The raid leader talks to Vormu in Dalaran in Northrend, next to Auzin. Accept the event’s raid quest first; its text shows which bosses or dungeons count. You can also book an Ulduar Timewalking boost.
Firelands (Cataclysm)
Talk to Vormu in Stormwind or Orgrimmar to enter. Accept the raid quest before you start: it leads to Ragnaros, and its reward tooltip shows the cache. Our Firelands Timewalking boost runs in Cataclysm weeks.
What to farm during a Timewalking week
- Timewarped Badges: the active expansion’s vendor sells gear, reputation items, mounts, toys and pets for them. Look at the stock first, then decide what to save for.
- Weekly quest: accept it before your first run. Its cache changes with the season, and the quest shows the current reward.
- Reputation: +50% from quests and kills, for that expansion’s factions only.
- Rare drops: drops such as the Infinite Timereaver are random, and no number of runs guarantees one.
Xydan, the Dragonflight vendor, sells the Liquid Hot Magma Slug and Black-Furred Bakkar for 5,000 badges each, along with cosmetics, a pet and toys. Badges are Warbound, so you can move them from alts in the currency transfer window; check the transfer cost there first.
