World of Warcraft: Legion launch and raid times

World of Warcraft expands on 30 August with the launch of the next expansion World of Warcraft: Legion.

If you’re still playing WoW, then tomorrow, or today depending on where you are, is a big day. No doubt your Battle.Net client is primed to get into the game as soon as possible. So when does it launch? Here are the times…

Next up is the US which launches a little later to keep to their midnight launch times with the west coast being the starting point for that.

• US West – Midnight
• US Mountain – 1AM
• US central – 2AM
• US East – 3AM
• Australia – 5PM

With that all sorted, Blizzard has also posted a schedule of raid times which are as follows:
