When is the Battlefield 6 Season 2 release date? The BF6 launch was a resounding success, and players old and new have flocked back to the FPS in numbers. To retain that player base, though, Battlefield Studios is going to have to keep a fairly constant stream of new and exciting content for players to sink their collective teeth into.

While anticipation builds for Battlefield 6 Season 2, players will have to wait a little bit longer after EA revealed it has postponed the launch. To fill the gap, there's a bonus path coming to the Season 1 battle pass. Discover everything that was added in Season 1, including Battlefield 6 maps, Battlefield 6 weapons, and even more to come with the Frostfire Bonus Path.

Battlefield 6 Season 2 release date

Battlefield 6 Season 2 is set to launch on Tuesday, February 17, 2026 at 8am PT / 11am ET / 3pm GMT / 2am AEDT.

We don't know exactly what Season 2 entails, but based on the release cadence of Season 1's updates, we suspect Season 2 will follow a similar pattern. EA stated in a blog post on January 13 that more information will be released about both the upcoming season and a greater 2026 roadmap in February, so stay tuned for updates.

Battlefield 6 Season 1 was split into three acts, each with its own title and theme. Rogue Ops arrived at launch and was followed by California Resistance on Tuesday, November 18. Winter Offensive was the last to drop on Tuesday, December 9.

New multiplayer maps

Over the course of the season, the lineup of Battlefield 6 maps increased by two. There was already a very generous roster of nine large-scale maps at launch, and Season 1 added Blackwell Fields on day one with the Rogue Ops act and Eastwood with the California Resistance act. A visual update for Empire State arrived in Winter Offensive, giving the New York-based map a snowy makeover.

New weapons

Away from maps, several new weapons were thrown into the mix throughout Season 1. The Mini Fix sniper rifle is particularly deadly - a lightweight, bolt-action sniper designed for Recon players that want to get stuck into the action, rather than sit back and pick players off at a distance. There is also the SOR-300C carbine, which trades fire rate for damage, making it a tempting option for those with impeccable aim.

Battle Pickups also made their way into BF, which is a throwback to those who enjoyed BF1. These ultra-powerful weapons can be found on the map and have limited ammunition, so use them wisely.

New multiplayer modes

Season 1 also brought two new game modes - Strikepoint and Sabotage. Strikepoint is a small-scale, 4v4, round-based mode with no respawns, involving two teams battling for control over an objective. Sabotage, meanwhile, is an 8v8 mode where the attacking team attempts to blow up as many objectives as they can in a given time frame, with the defending team trying to stop them. The defenders will then get a shot at attacking to see if they can outscore the other team.
