The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta is about to begin, but you’re likely wondering when exactly it starts. Don’t worry; we’ve crafted this handy Black Ops 6 beta start time and countdown clock so you know exactly when to jump into the action.
With a revamped movement system, body shield mechanics, and a return to the Black Ops universe, BLOPS 6 already looks phenomenal. Available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, the game is shaping up to be a massive success.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 beta start date and time
The Call of Duty Black Ops 6 beta start date and time go live simultaneously worldwide on all platforms. However, the beta has two beta weekends, depending on if you’ve pre-ordered or not. To find out when the beta is, check here:
| Beta | Start Date | Start Time | End Date |
| Early Access | August 30, 2024 | 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET/6:00 PM BST | September 4, 2024 |
| Open Beta | September 6, 2024 | 10:00 AM PT/1:00 PM ET/6:00 PM BST | September 9, 2024 |
How to get Black Ops 6 early access beta code
If you want to join the early access beta, you’ll have to learn how to get a Call of Duty Black Ops 6 beta code. To get a code, you’ll either have to pre-order the game or have Xbox Game Pass.
We recommend opting for the latter since getting a subscription is much cheaper than purchasing the premium-priced £69.99 /$69.99 base edition or £99.99 / $99.99 Ultimate Edition early. Of course, this should probably go without saying, but if you’re a PlayStation player or don’t have a PC, you’ll have no choice but to pre-order BO6 for a code.
Another way of getting a Black Ops 6 early access beta code, although not entirely reliable, is by following CoD content creators on social media. A few prominent ones, like FaZe ZooMaa, are giving them away to random followers through contests, while others, such as CoD news aggregator CharlieIntel, hand out early access beta codes by the handful through X/Twitter posts.
Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until September 6, 2024, for the actual open beta. For the early access version, make sure you’ve redeemed your code here.
Black Ops 6 countdown clock
With our Black Ops 6 beta countdown clock below, you can see the exact moment the online trial starts. At the time of publication, this clock is set to the Early Access beta. However, when that concludes, we will update our countdown for the open beta.

Due to the sheer heft of the Black Ops 6 file size, you’ll need to make sure the game is pre-downloaded. If not, you might end up missing out on the beta, especially if your download speeds are slow.
