Battlefield 6 Open Beta Weekend 2: Start Time, Content, and What to Expect



The wait is almost over — Battlefield 6 Open Beta Weekend 2 kicks off on August 14 at 1:00 AM PST / 4:00 AM EST. Unlike the first beta weekend, you won’t need Twitch drops, subscriptions, or any special requirements to join. Simply log in, queue up, and prepare for action.

A Bigger, Better Beta Weekend

The first open beta weekend saw more than 500,000 players on Steam alone, creating massive queues and plenty of excitement. Weekend 2 promises an even better experience, with extended playtime and more content to explore.

New Additions This Weekend

  • Rush Mode Returns – The fan-favorite mode is making a comeback, offering fast-paced, objective-based action that Battlefield veterans know and love.
  • Empire State Map – An infantry-only map, perfect for close-quarters combat and intense firefights.

These additions aim to keep both new players and long-time fans engaged throughout the weekend.

How to Join the Beta

Getting into Weekend 2 is easy — no sign-ups, no codes, just download the beta client and jump in when servers go live. But be prepared for potential queues, especially during peak hours.

Why This Matters for Battlefield 6

After a well-received first weekend, Battlefield 6 is shaping up to be a return to the franchise’s roots — large-scale battles, dynamic maps, and varied combat styles. Weekend 2 will give the community another chance to test the game and provide feedback before the official launch.


Pro Tip: Set your alarms early if you’re in the US. The sooner you log in, the better your chances of avoiding long wait times.
