To understand the Black Ops 7 beta start date, it helps to look back at how recent titles handled their testing phases. The Black Ops 6 beta (2024) ran from October 4–14, Modern Warfare III (2023) from October 6–16, and Modern Warfare II (2022) from September 16–26.
These past dates show a clear pattern: Call of Duty betas always arrive a few weeks before launch, typically in late September or early October.
At Gamescom 2025, Activision confirmed the official Black Ops 7 beta dates:
This time, the beta won’t follow a two-weekend structure. Instead, it will run across a single test period, with pre-order and Game Pass players jumping in a few days early.
The BO7 beta release date was officially revealed during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19, 2025.
Alongside the date announcement, Treyarch also confirmed details about platforms, new streaks, rewards, and Zombies content.
Players eager to jump in on day one can expect preload to begin 48–72 hours before October 2.
That means you’ll likely be able to download the beta at the end of September, giving you enough time to be ready for early access. And since there’s no platform exclusivity this year, preload will go live for everyone at the same time across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
To recap: the Black Ops 7 beta release date is now confirmed for October 2–8, 2025. Early access will be available for pre-orders and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, followed by a full open beta on all platforms.
If you’re still asking “when does the Black Ops 7 beta start?” — the answer is clear: October 2 for early access, October 5 for open beta.
