Battlefield 6 Season 2 start date and everything we know so far

Battlefield 6 Season 2 is now set to begin in February following an extension to Season 1, but EA have at least teased a couple of features to tide us over. It seems like chemical warfare might play a substantial role in the season's theme and that players will finally be able to pilot the nippy Little Bird helicopter, but EA and Battlefield Studios are keeping their bullet-riddled cards close to their chests for now. Here's everything we know about Battlefield 6 Season 2 and when it will release.

Battlefield 6 Season 2 release date

Season 2 of Battlefield 6 and Redsec will begin on February 17, following an extension for Season 1. The reason for this delay is because the developers wanted to give themselves "extra time to further polish and refine Season 2" after continuing to review community feedback.

Assuming Season 2 doesn't get extended too, it should last the usual three months, putting its end date somewhere in May.

What will Battlefield 6 Season 2 include?

So far, we know absolutely nothing official about the specifics of what's going to be in Season 2's monthly content drops across Battlefield 6 and Redsec. The only teaser we have to go on is a seven-second video which shows a gas mask-wearing soldier surrounded by a dense green fog, suggesting that chemical warfare will play some sort of role in Season 2.

The other hint in the video is a distinct helicopter rotor blade sound, which is almost certainly a nod towards the Little Bird helicopter, a Battlefield 6 vehicle that has been highly requested since launch. A November 2025 leak from Twitter user temporyal mentioned that Season 2 would include the Little Bird, but the helicopter has been in the game's files for even longer, even appearing in playtests too. It therefore seems highly likely that we'll finally see the scout chopper arrive at some point in Season 2.

Temporyal's leak also showed several new Battlefield 6 weapons that could be arriving with Season 2, including the Scorpion Evo 3 and Skorpion machine pistol. In a reply to their initial leak, they also mentioned a remake of the Propaganda map from Battlefield 4 exists, originally set in North Korea but now placed in Bulgaria. In fact, this map was actually mentioned in leaks from before the game even came out and has been spotted in the game's files after launch. So, like the Little Bird, it seems like it could finally see the light of day with Season 2.

Bear in mind that all the above is speculation based on limited information from EA and potentially false or inaccurate leaks. We'll be sure to update this guide once we have official information on new Season 2 content.

While we don't have anything concrete, the Battlefield 6 maps roster and Battlefield 6 weapons list will be expanding with Season 2.
