What Time Does Battlefield 6 Open Beta Weekend 2 End?
Ready or not, the clock is ticking: Battlefield 6 Open Beta Weekend 2 wraps up on Monday, August 18, 2025, at 8:00 UTC, which is 1:30 PM IST, 1:00 AM PDT, 4:00 AM EDT, and, well, you get the idea. For most players, it’s early morning or mid-afternoon, depending on your flavor of planet. So if you’re still grinding those tank kills in Empire State or throwing yourself at the chaos of Squad Deathmatch, maybe chug that last energy drink and squeeze in one more match.
Honestly, it’s bittersweet. The servers shut off at the exact time noted above, across all platforms. So PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC players: we’re in the same boat, desperately trying to unlock those last cosmetics, rack up more stats, and maybe, just maybe, pull off a final game-winning move before the party’s over. If you miss it, at least you can say you were witness to one of the most feverishly played Battlefield betas in years. Not bad for a weekend.
Here’s a quick timezone list for the closing bell just so you don’t yell at me for missing your local slot (it happens):

CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) reminded fans on Twitter that today marks the final full day of the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, which will officially end on August 18 at 1 a.m. PT / 4 a.m. ET.
Set your alarm, avoid missing the ending fireworks, and if you’re like me, prepare your “I was in the beta!” humblebrag.
When Can You Next Play Battlefield 6 After The 2nd Beta Finishes?
Alright, brace yourself: After August 18, you can't play Battlefield 6 again until the full launch on October 10, 2025. Yup, it hurts. Unless surprise tests or a "bonus" event drop from the developers (EA loves their curveball, but nothing official yet), you’re facing a tidy little waiting game:
-
There are NO more betas scheduled.
-
Next play date: October 10, 2025 (launch day).
-
All your hard-earned beta cosmetics and dog tags? They’ll be waiting for you, assuming you unlocked them between all the memes and chaos.
Below is an official Battlefield 6 open beta trailer:
That break gives you time to brush up on actual, real-world skills (like walking the aforementioned dog). Or, like me, to stare at weapon loadout screens and wonder what could’ve been if you’d stuck with the humble MP5 (instead of that ambitious grenade launcher strat).
Some folks on Reddit are still hoping for a third “mini-beta,” but those rumors look thin unless EA is feeling generous. If they do drop another test, watch for it in the main forums (or trust your friend's cousin’s barber’s leak thread).
