If you've been patiently waiting in 2026 for new Battlefield content, you'll unfortunately have to wait a bit longer. Battlefield 6 and REDSEC haven't ever given a specific date for Season 2, but timers aligned with a January 20th drop. Now, an extension will occur, although with an update to improve the games. Check out the details below for Season 2, which will now arrive on February 17.

Battlefield Studios announced today an extension of Battlefield 6 and Battlefield REDSEC first season, will include new weekly challenges, a Bonus Path, and a continuation of the Season 1 Battle Pass.
The first season will now run until the launch of Season 2 on February 17, with the Season 1 extension update being released on January 20. This extended launch has been implemented to allow extra time to further develop and refine Season 2 as a result of community feedback.
Available on January 27, the Frostfire Bonus Path gives players the chance to unlock new free and premium customization rewards, including a Weapon Package and a Soldier Skin, as well as XP Boosts, by advancing through the tiers of the Frostfire Bonus Path. Premium Tier Rewards require purchase of the Season 1 Battle Pass.

Free rewards from the Frostfire Bonus Path will include a 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.
The Frostfire Bonus Path can be completed concurrently alongside the Season 1 Battle Pass. Players do not need to choose to make progress between a Season 1 Battle Pass Path - i.e. Rogue Ops, Soldiers Of Fortune - and the Frostfire Bonus Path. Each Bonus Path Tier requires 10 Bonus Path Points to unlock, with a total of 110 Bonus Path points required to fully complete the Bonus Path. Unlike previous Bonus Paths, all Bonus Path Points for the Frostfire Bonus Path are earned through Weekly Challenges; there are no Bonus Challenges associated with this Bonus Path.
