Black Ops 7 has been dropping a lot of content so far in 2026, with Season 2 being a major highlight. With the release of Black Ops Royale, as well as a host of changes to Multiplayer and Zombies, it’s been a strong showing for Call of Duty.
Well, the content mill never stops churning, and Season 3 is up next. Expect new maps across the board, as well as some major changes to the maps in Warzone.
If that sounds exciting, then you’re in the right place, as Insider Gaming has all of the launch details for Season 3 of Black Ops 7 and Warzone.
When Does Black Ops 7 & Warzone Season 3 Come Out?
The Call of Duty team announced that Season 3 of Black Ops 7 and Warzone will release on April 2, 2026.
Winter might be over, but the teaser has a notable chill to it with the light blue hues. Whether that will impact upcoming gameplay updates remains to be seen, but it was confirmed that precision and power will arrive with Season 3.

That seems to hint at new weaponry, which could be new killstreaks or even a new weapon to unlock. If it’s anything like Season 2, there’s a chance both could arrive, so fingers crossed that there’s plenty of content to unpack.
