When Is the Next Romance Club Diamond Rush?

Watch for the announcement the afternoon before

There's no monthly Diamond Rush calendar. Each one is posted about a day ahead: the English Telegram channel puts it up around 3:00 p.m. UTC (11 a.m. Eastern), around the time the Russian channel posts its version. The wording barely changes: the event “will start soon,” it lasts 48 or 72 hours, and diamond choices are free in all stories.

The English post skips the clock time. The Russian announcement of the same event spells it out: 4:00 a.m. Moscow time, which is 1:00 a.m. UTC.

In the US, a Saturday Rush starts on Friday night

It ends at the same hour two or three days later. A 48-hour Rush that “starts Saturday” runs from Friday 9 p.m. to Sunday 9 p.m. Eastern.

Hence one simple rule. No post by mid-afternoon UTC means no Rush the next day, whatever the comments say.

Learn the rhythm: nearly every week, with a pause around updates

Eight of thirteen Rushes started on a Saturday

Between June 13 and October 24, 2026, the studio ran 13 Diamond Rushes. Eight began on a Saturday and lasted 48 hours. The five long ones, 72 hours each, started on a Friday or a Sunday. That held every single time over those months, but it's a pattern, not a promise: the studio can change it any week.

Around a big update, expect about two weeks without one

The announcements label themselves: “the final Diamond Rush before the October update” went up on September 26, “the first Diamond Rush since the October update” on October 15. After each of the June, August and October updates, the first Rush came 13 days after the new episodes and ran 72 hours.

So if new episodes just dropped, settle in for a wait. The next update is scheduled for November 21–22, 2026, and I'd expect the same pause around it — that's my forecast from three updates, not a studio date. Release dates are on the update schedule page.

The English channel's announcements since mid-September:

Know what actually goes free

The announcement talks only about diamond choices in stories. That covers everything an episode asks diamonds for: scenes with your love interest, answers that move a route forward, extra options at a fork.

Looks bought with treasures, tea, Wheel of Fortune spins and store purchases aren't in that wording. Don't count on Diamond Rush for outfits: if a look unlocks a bonus scene, its price stays the same during the event.

Your diamond balance stays put. The event doesn't spend anything, so a stash saved for Saturday comes through whole and is still there for a week without a Rush.

A subscription isn't required

When the subscription arrived in February 2026, the first question players asked was whether Diamond Rush would survive it. It did: every Rush announced since has said diamond choices are free in all stories, with nothing about a pass.

Get ready: save diamonds and stockpile expensive episodes

The priciest routes are the ones to save for

Some love interest routes add up to several hundred diamonds over a story, and during a Rush each of those choices costs nothing. That's why the heaviest seasons wait for the event, and ordinary weeks go to stories with few paid forks. Route prices are on the love interests page.

Forty-eight hours goes fast without a plan

Two days disappear quickly, especially on a weekend you already had plans for. Here's my order:

1. Before the event, list the episodes with expensive forks — one line per story.
2. Play the new episodes of your main route first.
3. Then replay an older story with a different love interest on a separate save slot. Since the October 3, 2026 update you can duplicate a slot, so the replay doesn't touch your main run.
4. Whatever you don't finish stays on the list until the next Rush.

Don't spend your stash the day before

The most painful mistake is buying an expensive scene on Friday morning and seeing the announcement that afternoon. If tomorrow looks like a Rush day and there's no post yet, hold off until about 3:00 p.m. UTC: the answer comes within hours.

Check predictions against the official post

Dates for “the next Diamond Rush” float around fan chats a week or two in advance. Sometimes they turn out right, sometimes not: the studio announces the event a day ahead, and nothing official backs those guesses. Trust the post in the official Telegram channel — the status at the top of this page picks it up the same day.

Catch the other events that run alongside it
