Black Ops 7 Beta: confirmed date and start time
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is one of the most anticipated releases of 2025. Activision’s legendary franchise, with more than 20 years of history, returns with major updates to its campaign, zombies mode, and competitive multiplayer.
Before the global launch on November 14, 2025, players will get the chance to test it out through the official beta, which will be split into several phases in October. This beta is not only a chance for fans to get hands-on, but also a key opportunity for the developers to collect feedback and polish the gameplay.
Beta start date and time
Activision has confirmed that the Black Ops 7 beta will begin on October 5 at 11:00 AM Mexico City time. This marks the open beta phase, available to all players across platforms, regardless of whether they preordered the game.
The beta will run for 72 hours, ending on October 8 at the same time. In Europe, for example, players can log in from 6:00 PM in Spain (CEST).
Beta phases: early access and open beta
The beta will have two key phases:
