Battlefield 6 Season 2 Starts Feb. 17; First Season Extended

With Battlefield 6’s Season 1 seeing its last content drop in December via the Winter Offensive patch, most assumed (including me) that Season 2 would start sometime in January 2026.

Apparently, that’s not happening, as publisher Electronic Arts announced that Season 2 will kick off on February 17, 2026. Disappointed? You’re not the only one.

Battlefield 6 Under Fire for Copying Call of Duty's Ghosts Logo

While there are certain similarities when it comes to soldier uniforms and whatnot for most military shooter games, the latest mask for Battlefield 6 bears a resemblance a tad too much from its main rival, Call of Duty.

To make up for it, DICE has announced that Season 1 has been extended with some new stuff, though I’m unsure if the player base will see it as a sufficient placeholder.

Battlefield 6 Season 2 Delayed

According to EA, Battlefield 6 Season 2’s “extended launch has been implemented to allow extra time to further develop and refine Season 2 as a result of community feedback.”

As for the extension of Season 1, both Battlefield 6 and Battlefield REDSEC will include new weekly challenges, a Bonus Path, and a continuation of the Season 1 Battle Pass.

Available on January 27, the Frostline Bonus Path will give players the chance to unlock new free and premium customization rewards, which include a Weapon Package and a Soldier Skin, as well as XP Boosts. Premium Tier Rewards will require purchase of the Season 1 Battle Pass.

Last month, we reported that Battlefield 6 managed to have the biggest launch month in terms of revenue of any game in the last three years.

There will be free rewards from the Frostline Bonus Path, which will include Hardware XP Boost, a Vehicle Skin and playercard customization items, while Battle Pass owners can grab a new Weapon Package, a Career XP Boost and additional customization items.

Battlefield Studios will also be celebrating Valentine’s Day. Another set of Daily Login Rewards will be introduced, alongside several Double XP Weekends throughout the update period.

Expect a patch housing fixes and improvements to be released alongside the Season 1 extension, with the patch notes set to be available at a later date.

While Season 2 details have not been officially revealed, a datamine suggests we’ll see a new vehicle and weapons being released as part of the upcoming season.

In other Battlefield 6 news, we talked about how the game is bleeding players and whether DICE can get the game back on track, which we think warrants a read.
