The next Battlefield game will arrive by April 2026, here’s how you could play it early

• EA has confirmed that the next Battlefield game is targeting a release by March 31, 2025
• It is being helmed by Battlefield Studios, a group of five EA developers
• You can currently sign up to Battlefield Labs for a chance to play early and give feedback

EA has confirmed that the next entry in the Battlefield franchise will likely be released before April 2026.

The news comes from the company’s latest earnings report, which refers to the new Battlefield Labs initiative and states that it will allow for “player-driven testing and innovation ahead of the franchise’s expected fiscal year 2026 release.” Fiscal year 2026 runs from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, so we now know to expect it to come out some time between those two dates.
