The BF6 Beta Weekend 2 kicks off today, bringing players back to the test that soared last weekend. It has been a long time coming, with Battlefield Labs contributing to stacks of leaks over the last few months, and the test phase is almost over. Following the grand multiplayer reveal on July 31, fans are chomping at the bit to play the Battlefield 6 beta again, but when does it start?
The full schedule for the BF6 Beta Weekend 2, including the global start times for the second pass of the event, is below.

The Battlefield 6 open beta will start today at 08:00 UTC (01:00 PT). As it’s an open beta, you don’t need to worry about codes or access criteria – everyone is allowed to play.

The window for the final Battlefield 6 open beta opens today and runs until August 17. When it closes, it’s unlikely we’ll see another one before the game is released.
What platforms is the Battlefield 6 beta on?
The fully open beta for Battlefield 6 that starts today will be playable on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and PC, regardless of whether users secured a code or not.
How to Play BF6 Beta Weekend 2
Those playing the early access Battlefield 6 beta needed to have redeemed a code on an EA account linked to the platform they wanted to play on.
Alternatively, they needed to have been a member of Battlefield Labs or have had a subscription to EA Play Pro.
That’s changed now, as this is an open beta, which means anyone can play.
Downloading the Battlefield 6 beta is as simple as navigating to the digital storefront on your platform of choice and searching for it.
