What time does Battlefield 6 beta end?

With the launch of Battlefield 6 beta, players worldwide are seizing the chance to test the game early. The limited-time beta test periods not only let fans experience new maps, modes, and mechanics ahead of release, but also help EA DICE fine-tune performance, balance weapons, and iron out bugs.

However, knowing exactly when each of the Battlefield 6 open beta phase starts and ends is crucial because once the servers shut down, access disappears until the next scheduled window or the game’s official release.

The BF6 beta is split across two open weekends this month, with identical global starting and closing times. Understanding these time windows ensures you can make the most of every session, finish challenges, and secure any limited rewards before the clock runs out.

Here’s the exact schedule of the open beta for different regions, including dates and times.

Battlefield 6 beta start and end dates

The first Battlefield 6 open beta runs from Saturday, Aug. 9, to Monday, Aug. 11, following an extension from its initial schedule. The second open beta is set for Thursday, Aug. 14, through Monday, Aug. 18, as EA DICE has also given the second beta weekend a similar extension.

With the beta wrapping up, players are eager to know if they’ll get another chance to jump back into the action before launch. EA has yet to confirm whether another beta phase is planned, and it’s more likely that the development team will now focus on polishing and fine-tuning the game ahead of its Oct. 10 release.

Battlefield 6 beta start and times

Both open beta phases have the same start and end times in all major time zones, offering players three full days of gameplay during the first weekend and four full days in the second. Below are the exact start and end times for each region:

• Pacific Time (PT) (UTC -7): 1am
• Central Time (CT) (UTC -5): 3am
• Eastern Time (ET) (UTC -4): 4am
• British Summer Time (BST) (UTC +1): 9am

• India Standard Time (IST) (UTC +5:30): 1:30pm
• China Standard Time (CST) (UTC +8): 4pm
