No announcement has been made yet regarding a new season following the end of Season 11, Divine Intervention. As each season lasts approximately three months, Season 12 may release after Season 11 ends on March 11, 2026.

However, if Blizzard follows the format they did for the combined release of Season 6 and Vessel of Hatred, then Season 12 may release along the Lord of Hatred expansion on April 28, 2026.
