The year's final Black Ops 6 and Warzone Double XP weekend will kick off on December 25, 2024. That's right, this Christmas marks the beginning of the final Double XP weekend of 2024. However, there are a few compromises. Unlike the previous weekends, this time around Double XP will only be valid for your player profile and weapons. This means that there will be no Double Battle Pass XP nor Double Gobblegum earn rate.

Let us take a closer look at the start date and time for the upcoming Black Ops 6 and Warzone Double XP weekend.

When will Black Ops 6 and Warzone Double XP weekend end?

At the time of writing, Call of Duty hasn't officially announced the Black Ops 6 and Warzone Double XP weekend end date. However, if we study the previous trends, we can speculate that the upcoming Double XP weekend will conclude on Monday, i.e., December 30, 2024. That said, Treyarch might just extend it by a day for fans to take advantage of the event on the last day of the year.

In that case, the Double XP weekend will conclude on December 31, 2024. Again, these are merely speculations, and fans are advised to wait for official details from developers.
