EA has revealed that they will be conducting several pre-release tests for Battlefield 6, giving gamers a chance to play the upcoming first-person shooter before its October launch. This guide aims to provide all the necessary information about the beta, including the starting times for every Battlefield 6 beta test and instructions on how to secure early access to the Battlefield 6 beta.

Battlefield 6 Beta: All Start Times

As an eager fan, I’m thrilled to share that the Battlefield 6 beta is unfolding across three exhilarating stages, two of which will be accessible for all, regardless of whether you have a code or not. Mark your calendars for 4th August, as Pre-Load becomes available. Get ready to join the fight on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms, including Steam, Epic Games Store, and EA App.

The Battlefield 6 beta is available on the following days:

Early Access
7th — 8th August
Weekend 1
9th — 10th August
Weekend 2
14th — 17th August

As we move forward in the beta phases, we’ll make necessary updates to this article. The early access stage for the Battlefield 6 beta begins at the time indicated at the bottom: [Your Local Time]

Battlefield 6 Beta: How to Get Early Access

Update (1st August 13:00 BST):

Since the Battlefield 6 unveiling event has concluded, it’s sad to say that Twitch Drops for early access beta codes are no longer available. If you didn’t take part in Battlefield Labs prior to the event, there’s currently no other method to secure a code. You’ll have to wait until August 9th (Weekend 1) to play, unless Electronic Arts decides to distribute more codes in the near future.

As an eager Battlefield fan, here’s what I did to secure early access to Battlefield 6 beta:

1. If you were already part of the Battlefield Labs before today’s unveiling, congratulations! You’re all set to get that exclusive early access code.
2. Alternatively, if you didn’t join Battlefield Labs before, don’t worry! Keep an eye on your favorite Twitch streamers. They might just drop some early access codes as part of their streams. So, sit back, enjoy the gameplay, and keep those fingers crossed!

  • All participants in Battlefield Labs from before today (31st July) get early access to the beta
  • Watch currently live Twitch streamers to get an early access code in a Twitch Drop

If you’ve visited this page following the Battlefield 6 unveiling and found that all Twitch Drops have been claimed, I regret to inform you that you’ll need to wait for the upcoming two weekend access periods. It’s important to note that an early access beta code is not included with the Phantom Edition. Unless Electronic Arts decides to distribute additional codes, it appears that securing one will be challenging.
