Double XP weekends in Call of Duty are a ritual for players everywhere, but they’re especially impactful in a game like Modern Warfare 2 where seasonal prestige ranks are tied to rewards.
Sometimes, double XP weekends are few and far between during seasons. But it’s always good to know when the next one is coming so you can hit up your group chat and make sure the squad will be ready to pubstomp in MW2, drop into Warzone 2, or extract some hot gear in DMZ.
Thankfully, double XP weekends are somewhat predictable, regardless of how quiet the developers may be when it comes to communicating schedules with the player base.

As of now, the season three battle pass is due to end in the middle of June, meaning that the new season should be coming on the same day or soon after. Given CoD’s recent history, that could mean another double XP weekend would line up for the final weekend of the second season.
If not, the next double XP weekend will likely hit after season four launches. It’s not official yet but it looks like the new season will begin on June 14, meaning there could be a final double XP weekend beginning on June 9.
There’s no better time to grind out prestige ranks than double XP weekends. So get ready to hop online with the squad to grind everything from MW2 multiplayer to Warzone 2 ranked play to DMZ.
This current double XP weekend will feature double player XP, weapon XP, and battle pass XP, so the grind will be real for players who have been falling behind in their progress for season three.
More official information about season four should be coming very soon, so stay tuned to the official CoD social channels for confirmed details on what players can expect in the current iterations of the franchise.
