Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Beta Start Dates & Times

While players will be able to pre-download the Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Beta as early as August 4 via PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA App, they won’t be able to jump in until August 7 at 1 AM PT at the earliest. The Beta is split into two weekends, with Early Access available for a select portion of the player base. Here’s a breakdown of the start and end dates for the Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Beta:

Beta Weekend	Start Date	End Date
Early Access	August 7, 1 AM PT (4 AM ET)	August 8, 1 AM PT (4 AM ET)
Weekend 1	August 9, 1 AM PT (4 AM ET)	August 11, 1 AM PT (4 AM ET)
Weekend 2	August 14, 1 AM PT (4 AM ET)	August 17, 1 AM PT (4 AM ET)

To get access to the Battlefield 6 Beta, players have two main options. The first is to join the Battlefield 6 Open Beta by simply downloading it from their console storefront (PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S) or via Steam, the Epic Games Store, or the EA App on PC.

For the Early Access Beta, players have a few options. Firstly, they can sign in to the Battlefield 6 Beta using the EA Account that’s registered with Battlefield Labs. If players signed up for Battlefield Labs before July 31, 2025, they’ll be able to play the Beta during its early access period from August 7 to August 8.

For those who haven't signed up for Labs, an Early Access Beta Code is required. These can be earned as Twitch Drops by tuning in to the official Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Reveal Event on Twitch or by watching creators streaming in the Battlefield 6 category for an hour. This offer is available until August 1.

Players can then redeem their earned Beta Code, claimed via their Twitch Drops Inventory, over on the Battlefield 6 Code Redemption Page to play from August 7 to August 8. However, before doing so, be sure to link both your Twitch and EA accounts here.

On top of signing up to play Multiplayer early, players can also earn a variety of rewards as part of the Multiplayer Beta.
