EA have narrowed down a rough release window for when we should expect Battlefield 6 and it’s closer than you might think.

Hot on the heels of their announcement of Battlefield Labs with a side-helping teaser of Battlefield 6, EA has now given us an estimated timeline of just when exactly we can expect the next entry in their hit FPS franchise. As announced in their latest financial report, EA has said we can expect Battlefield 6(?) by March 31st, 2026, which is right around the corner in video game years.
Briefly touching on the Battlefield franchise among many other financial announcements and set plans, the company stated “EA unveiled Battlefield™Labs, a new initiative allowing player-driven testing and innovation ahead of the franchise’s expected fiscal year 2026 release.” Their fiscal year ‘26 is between April 1st, 2025, and April 1st, 2026, giving us our rough release window.
Now, any publisher serious about maximizing profits - as they are wont to do - will likely be pushing for a release around October or November to hit that jam-packed holiday release window. Previous Battlefield games have been released circa October/November, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see DICE and EA sticking to a tradition that just so happens to coincide with the ramp-up for the holidays. While far from official, that’s when I would wager Battlefield 6 to be released.
As we know, the games industry is a fickle beast and any number of things can happen and push the release to be closer to the March 31st deadline, or beyond. It’s also likely the game will launch in a buggy state and be patched over time as with previous releases but with the focus on Battlefield Labs to get players stress-testing before launch, that may not be the case this time. Are you excited to see how Battlefield 6(?) turns out? Sound off below!
I created this website as I feel the state of the games industry and games reporting as a whole has gotten overly negative and full of clickbait. While I understand both of these are a great way to generate engagement, it’s a detriment to those gamers (like myself) that are just trying to enjoy games and not have to worry about the negativity of the current state of the gaming industry. I want a space where gamers can come for unbiased news that doesn’t rely on clickbait or rumours with a dash of humour and have the opportunity to share their passion for games.
