World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s Season 2 server downtime (May 9): Maintenance schedule for all regions revealed

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight's scheduled server downtime is coming on May 9. That means there will be plenty of new competitive content to work on, whether you want to raid or PVP. Guilds will officially begin racing towards World First in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. PVP teams will be coming together to dominate everyone in the Arena. Whether you’re a casual or hyper-competitive player, there’s new gear and challenging experiences awaiting you in this update.

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s upcoming server downtime will be longer than usual, but then Season 2 will commence. Typically these server maintenance times are short, but for major content updates, they last a little bit longer. It’s also worth noting that while the currently scheduled time is known, it could change depending on circumstances.
