Battlefield 6 Battle Royale release date
This is the big one. The free-to-play battle royale component of BF6 currently does not have a release date, but speculation is running rampant that it could be a surprise drop for all players for season one on Oct. 28, mainly due to a report by ModernWarzone.
BF6 BR is currently in testing in Battlefield Labs, so it could come out at any time. If not during season one, then season two in early 2026 is most likely for its release.
This article will be updated with more information if BF6’s BR is confirmed for season one or otherwise.
