Battlefield 6 took the unusual step of chopping up its first season of post-launch content into three separate DLC drops, but as of the time of writing, we don’t know if Season 2 will do the same.
Given that we got new maps, weapons, and the RedSec Battle Royale as a standalone experience, Season 2 will show us what to expect going forward for DICE’s latest shooter. Here’s all we know about Battlefield 6 Season 2, including when we expect it to arrive.
The Escapist recaps Battlefield 6’s first season is slated to wrap up this month, having given us three different content drops since October. Season 2 leaks have suggested more weapons are on the way, as well as a new helicopter. New maps are also likely to be included in the new season. Battlefield 6 Season 2 expected release date

The current season launched on October 28, with new content arriving every three weeks or so to keep things fresh.
Season 2’s initial launch has been speculated to start somewhere between January 20 and January 27.
We’ll undoubtedly have a roadmap in the next week or two, then, but it’d be reasonable to expect February 17 and March 10 to be dates where more content arrives for the second season.
What to expect from Battlefield 6 Season 2

Look, we’re sort of flying blind here because DICE and EA haven’t revealed anything for the new season just yet, but we do have some ideas from leaks.
Leaker temporyal spilled the proverbial beans about fresh weapons that include the MG5 LMG, Bren 2, and Scorpion Evo 3 as primary weapons, with a Skorpion vz. 61 as a secondary weapon. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be in Season 2 of Battlefield 6, though.
What does appear to be tied to Season 2 is a new helicopter option, the AH-6 Little Bird, complete with loadout options like flares, motion sensor, stinger missiles, and more.
Curiously, temporyal’s information suggests a Jetski is coming in Season 3. Players have been wondering when naval combat could arrive, and while a Jetski is hardly akin to an aircraft carrier or battleship, could its inclusion hint at more fun on the water?
Finally, new gadgets could include an Airburst Grenade Launcher, Sticky Grenade Launcher, anti-tank weaponry and a new impact grenade.
It’s also highly likely that RedSec gets fresh content, too, similarly to how Call of Duty works with Warzone. It feels as though the initial buzz around RedSec has died down, so it’ll be interesting to see how DICE gives it a shot in the arm in 2026.
