When Does Battlefield 6 Beta End? All You Need to Know

A Recap of the Battlefield 6 Beta Timeline

Battlefield 6 has been testing the waters with several beta phases in August 2025, drawing unprecedented interest from the gaming community. For anyone wondering “when does the beta end?”, here's your definitive breakdown:

Beta Stages and End Times by Day

What Happened Today (August 11, 2025)?

• If today is August 11, 2025, then Weekend 1 has concluded as of early today—specifically at approximately 1:00 am PT / 4:00 am ET / 1:30 pm IST. 

• That means the beta no longer runs today, and players only have to look ahead to the next wave.

What to Expect in the Second Weekend (Starting Soon!)

The beta isn’t over yet. Weekend 2 kicks off on August 14 and runs through August 17. That gives fans a second chance to dive in.

• Start Time (Weekend 2): ~1:00 am PT / 4:00 am ET / 1:30 pm IST on August 14

• End Time (Weekend 2): ~1:00 am PT / 4:00 am ET / 1:30 pm IST on August 17 

Why This Matters—And What Went Down in the First Beta Weekend

Community Response & Records

• The beta achieved over half a million concurrent players on Steam, breaking series—and even Call of Duty—records with a peak near 521,000 players .

• Massive Twitch engagement accompanied the launch, pushing viewership into six-figure highs—over 850,000 peak viewers .

• However, the influx came at a cost: server queues peaked at approximately 250,000 players, and some services, like EA Account linking, experienced temporary crashes .

Access & Rewards

• Early access required one of several entry paths: preorders (Phantom Edition), EA Play Pro membership, or 30 minutes of Twitch Drops watching between August 7–8 .

• Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 were open to all players, regardless of early access .

• Players could unlock cosmetic rewards via watching specific Twitch streams—ranging from weapon skins to soldier and vehicle cosmetics .

Modes & Maps

• Both weekends offered most core game modes: Conquest, Domination, King of the Hill, Breakthrough, and Closed Weapon Conquest.

• Weekend 2 added Rush and Squad Deathmatch, while Weekend 1 featured three rotating maps—excluding Empire State, which joined in Weekend 2 .

Battlefield 6 Beta End – Today Explained Clearly

• If today is August 11, 2025, then the Battlefield 6 beta is not running today—Weekend 1 has already wrapped up around 1:30 pm IST.

• But don’t worry, another opportunity arises soon with Weekend 2, beginning August 14 and ending August 17.

• The full game officially launches on October 10, 2025, meaning the beta will be the last chance to play before release .

Summary

1. Beta Weekend 1 ended today (Aug 11) at ~1:30 pm IST.

2. If today is Aug 11, the beta isn’t active now.

3. Weekend 2 starts Aug 14 at ~1:30 pm IST—your next chance to jump in.

5. Access was funneled through early codes and opened fully for both weekends.
