According to Universal Orlando Resort's published operating calendar, Epic Universe will continue opening at 10:00 a.m. throughout September, but most evenings will now end at 8:00 p.m. During the summer, the park typically remained open until 9:00 p.m.

Universal has not yet released Epic Universe's operating hours for October 2026, so additional schedule changes could be announced closer to that month.
Guests planning evening rides, dining reservations, or nighttime entertainment may want to review the official park calendar before their visit, as operating hours can change.
Universal Orlando has not provided a reason for the revised September schedule.
