How we estimate end dates
When Blizzard hasn't announced an end date, we estimate it as the start date plus the median length of the last six finished seasons (currently 93 days). If a date has been reported but not confirmed, for example from in-game data, we show that instead. Either way the date is marked ~ and shown in orange until it is official.
