Warzone and MW3 Season 6 release date is just a few weeks away. Although Call of Duty has yet to announce the release date officially, it can be calculated easily through the in-game Battle Pass timer and the weekly challenges schedule. The upcoming season will go live on September 18, 2024, and will be the final seasonal update for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone

The titles will see a seasonal refresh, starting from Season 1 in December 2024, after the release of Black Ops 6. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the release date for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 Season 6.

When is Warzone and MW3 Season 6 releasing?

Warzone and MW3 Season 6 will go live on September 18, 2024. This date was retrieved from the Season 5 Battle Pass timer and the current weekly challenges schedule.

Each Season brings 8 weeks' worth of challenges. Week 6 will go live on August 28, 2024. If this is taken as a reference point, there are a total of three more weeks left in Season 5. Based on this the season ends on September 18, 2024, which also becomes the Warzone and MW3 Season 6 release date.

As mentioned earlier, although this date hasn't been confirmed, getting to this date using the in-game Battle Pass timer and weekly challenges schedule has been the most reliable and accurate way of determining the release date of the seasons in the newer Call of Duty games.

Unlike the date, the timing of the update cannot be said for certain as neither of the in-game timers reveals this. However, if previous release trends are taken into consideration, the Season 6 update for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone should go live on September 18, 2024, at 9 am PT.
