At long last, EA has unveiled Battlefield Labs, offering a first glimpse into the next Battlefield game. To help shape the future of the franchise, you can sign up for Battlefield Labs and gain early access to the upcoming title. Here's how to get involved.
What is Battlefield Labs?

EA's Battlefield Labs program invites community members to directly influence the development of the next Battlefield game. Selected fans will gain exclusive access to early, pre-release gameplay sessions, providing invaluable feedback to the developers at EA's Battlefield Studios. Think of it as a direct line to the war room!
Initially, a few thousand players in Europe and North America will participate, with plans to expand globally to tens of thousands in the future. Battlefield Labs will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Is Battlefield Labs Different Than a Beta?
While EA has previously utilized beta tests, Battlefield Labs operates differently. Participants will experience work-in-progress builds, encountering more bugs, rough edges, and technical issues than a typical beta. This is intentional; EA seeks unfiltered feedback on core gameplay elements like combat loops, map flow, and balance. Crucially, participants will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and refrain from publicly sharing information.
How to Sign Up for Battlefield Labs and Gain Early Access
Visit the Battlefield Labs webpage to learn more and register. You'll need to log in or create an EA account, link it to your preferred gaming platform, and then sign in.

EA has announced the next Battlefield game will launch in their fiscal year 2026, meaning a release before April 1, 2026.
