It’s your last chance now to join the public beta for Battlefield 6! Previous beta testing was successful, drawing over 500,000 players and breaking Call of Duty’s all-time Steam peak. This coming week launches the Weekend 2 of BF6 Beta, offering nearly 100 hours of Battlefield gameplay. Here’s the start time and how you can join the BF6 Beta Weekend 2.
When Does BF6 Weekend 2 Beta Start?
The weekend 2 of Battlefield Beta arrived on August 14, 2025, at 1 AM PT / 8 AM UTC. It will run until August 17, 2025, at 1 AM PT / 8 AM UTC, giving nearly four full days to play. Definitely, this offers a longer chance to experience the upcoming first-person shooter game than the previous weekend.
In Weekend 1, it featured separate Early Access and Open Beta periods for players. Meanwhile, this coming Weekend 2 is open to all players for the entire duration. The schedule also makes it easier for returning players to jump back into action.
How to Access the Weekend 2 Beta
It is easy to join the BF6 Weekend 2 Beta as it doesn’t require you to pre-order the game. There are three ways available to gain access to BF6 beta in Week 2.
Method 1: Official Battlefield 6 Website
-
- Go to the Battlefield 6 website.
- Click “Download Now” on your main screen.
- Select “Select Platform”.
- Choose your preferred gaming platform.
- It should redirect you to your platform’s storefront.
- Download the free beta.
Method 2: EA Play Pro Membership
For players with EA Play Pro membership, they’ll get automatic access to the Battlefield 6 beta. It serves as part of their membership benefits alongside other game access.
Method 3: Previous Battlefield Labs Participation
If you participated in earlier Battlefield Labs alpha, you’ll also receive direct access during the Weekend 2 Beta. It is available across all major platforms and has a pre-download option available back in August 4.
New Maps and Game Modes in Weekend 2
New content is coming into Weekend 2 for a refreshing gameplay experience. Don’t worry though, as you’ll still get everything from the first weekend. The Weekend 2 BF6 Beta will feature all previous maps alongside the popular modes, such as:
-
- Breakthrough
- Closed Weapon Conquest
- Conquest
- Domination
- Iberian Offensive
- Liberation Peak
- King of the Hill
- Siege of Cairo
- Empire State (NEW)
Expect Empire State to deliver intense urban warfare scenarios, making it a standout addition to the map roster. Currently, specific details about the map’s layout are limited, but it surely offers a dramatic Battlefield experience. Apart from the new map, there are two new game modes as well that players can try on:
Rush brings the classic Battlefield mode with attackers fighting to destroy Military Communication systems (M-COMs). Defenders must do their best to stop these attackers from destroying them. It includes planting explosives at M-COM stations and preventing defusal before detonation.
The winning cheer goes to the team that successfully destroyed all M-COM or wiped out all attackers. On the other hand, Squad Deathmatch provides a more intimate combat experience featuring four competing squads. Also, the objective is simple yet intense, as the first squad to reach the kill target wins.
Weekend 2 Exclusive Rewards and Challenges
There are three brand-new missions to challenge BF6 players this Weekend 2 Beta. Completing these quests rewards exclusive items that they may use in the full game.
Challenge 1: Flag Domination
