Activision has officially revealed Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, which is set to launch on October 23, 2026. Just like every other COD game, fans are quite excited to get their hands on it.

As with previous COD titles, players will have the opportunity to test the game early through an open multiplayer beta. Although Activision has not announced an official date, there are some good predictions on when players can expect the open beta to go live. Let’s check out some more details in this article.

When will Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 open beta start?

The official release date for Modern Warfare 4 is set for October 23, 2026. Despite this, there is no official open beta date, but players can expect the open beta to start several weeks before the game’s release.

Based on previous titles, you can expect the Modern Warfare 4 open beta to run sometime between late August and mid-September 2026.

The COD open beta usually takes place across two weekends, which provides players with multiple opportunities to test the new features and provide feedback before the official launch.

The open beta is expected to include multiplayer content, new gameplay mechanics, movement changes, & select maps from the final release.
