There’s nothing worse than being unceremoniously yanked from a battlefield mid-firefight because the beta has ended — and if you’re charging into the Battlefield 6 open beta, timing is everything. Whether you’re squeezing in that last objective capture or just soaking in the chaos, knowing exactly when the beta wraps up can make or break your final sessions.
The Battlefield 6 beta end time is now officially confirmed, and it applies to players across both scheduled open beta weekends. Here’s everything you need to know so you can play right up until the servers go dark.
What Time Does the Battlefield 6 Beta End?
Across both weekends, the Battlefield 6 beta ends at 1:00 a.m. PT / 4:00 a.m. ET. Mark your calendar, set your alarm, and plan your squad sessions because once the servers shut down, that’s it — until launch day.
- Open Beta Weekend 1: Ends August 11 at 1:00 a.m. PT / 4:00 a.m. ET
- Open Beta Weekend 2: Ends August 18 at 1:00 a.m. PT / 4:00 a.m. ET
Let’s break that down a bit more for each weekend.
Battlefield 6 Beta Weekend 1 Details
If you jumped into the fray during Weekend 1, your beta run began on August 9 — unless you scored early access, in which case you were boots-on-ground as early as August 7. Those extra two days? Perfect for getting a head start on mastering those weapons, exploring the maps, and experimenting with Battlefield 6’s new gameplay twists.
The first beta session officially wrapped up at 1:00 a.m. PT / 4:00 a.m. ET on August 11.
Battlefield 6 Beta Weekend 2 Details
The second weekend is your last shot to jump into the beta before full release — and it’s running from August 14 to August 18. That gives you four full days of mayhem, whether you’re leaning into conquest mode or just trying to improve your squad synergy ahead of launch.
Make no mistake: this is the final beta session, with the same end time of 1:00 a.m. PT / 4:00 a.m. ET on August 18.
What Happens After the Beta Ends?
Once Weekend 2 wraps up, boom, that’s it. No more betas are currently scheduled, and according to EA, there aren’t any immediate plans for additional testing phases. That said … this is EA, and surprises can happen, especially with a beta that’s garnered this much attention and praise.
Assuming nothing else changes, Battlefield 6 is set to launch on October 10, 2025. So if you miss out on the open beta or just want more, you’re looking at a bit of a wait. Better dig into those old Battlefield titles or brush up on your squad tactics while the clock ticks down.
