Battlefield 6 Beta: Start Date, Access Times & Preload Details On Xbox
EA’s recent Battlefield 6 reveal event brought news of a pre-launch beta coming this month – across two full weekends on Xbox, PC and PS5. So, how do you download and play this Battlefield 6 beta? And can you get early access on Xbox? Here’s everything you need to know ahead of launch:
Battlefield 6 Beta Dates On Xbox
Battlefield 6 has two open beta weekends on Xbox Series X|S.
Weekend 1 is August 9th & 10th and Weekend 2 is August 16th & 17th.
Can I Get Early Access To The Battlefield 6 Beta?
There are ways to get early access to the Battlefield 6 beta on August 7th & 8th, but unfortunately, it’s very limited access.
You either need to have been part of the Battlefield Labs pre-launch testing, be an EA Play Pro member on PC, or have grabbed a ‘Twitch Drop’ code during last week’s reveal event.
Pre-ordering does not get you early access and there are no other ways of getting in early aside from the above methods.

Here are the start times for each weekend of the Battlefield 6 beta:
Early Access: 1am PT / 4am ET / 9am BST on August 7th.
Weekend 1: 1am PT / 4am ET / 9am BST on August 9th.
Weekend 2: 1am PT / 4am ET / 9am BST on August 16th.
