August 18, 2025: The Weekend 2 open beta period ended on Monday August 18 @ 5am PDT / 8am EDT / 1pm BST, so the Battlefield 6 beta has now concluded.

The Battlefield 6 beta times have now come to an end, after EA gave players a total of eight days (including early access) over two weekends to try out their upcoming shooter. The servers have been taken offline, which means you can no longer search for new matches to join and the next time you can go hands on with Battlefield 6 will likely be when the full launch arrives in October.

Hopefully you were able to complete the various challenges that were on offer while the servers were available to unlock the Battlefield 6 beta rewards and Twitch Drops, so you'll have some exclusive cosmetic items unlocked and waiting in your footlocker. While the beta is now over, if you want to check any details about it then here's the lowdown on the BF6 open beta times and when it came to an end.

If you're looking for something else to play now the beta times have ended, then check out these games like Battlefield to tide you over until October.

The initial Early Access period was previously for those who had a special code via redemption or qualified through a few different routes. That was a one-off though and the main Weekend open beta sessions were available to everyone. We've got the full details on what was required to join the skirmish in our separate how to access the Battlefield 6 beta guide, though the beta has now concluded and is no longer accessible.

Following the slightly later than expected conclusion of the Weekend 2 open beta session, the Battlefield 6 beta ended on Monday August 18 at 5am PDT / 8am EDT / 1pm BST. That's not to say there won't be any more opportunities later on, but so far no indication has been given for any further Battlefield 6 beta sessions before the full game launch in October 2025.
