So when is the beta release date?
Nothing has been announced.
it will probably be released early august or early September
All any of us can really say on this matter is that the open beta for BF1 will be held sometime between now and October 18. Prior Battlefield’s are no fool proof way of figuring out when that beta will be as BF3 and BF4 had their public betas available early October, a few weeks before official release, while Hardline had a limited availability beta that started mid June 2014 while the open beta was held early February which was about a month and a half prior to release.
Public betas are usually done a couple of weeks prior to release, but we’ve seen some that are done several months prior to release. EA can either wait for October or they can make a surprise announcement during their event next month that they are holding it right as they are announcing it.
In any case, there is nothing we can say for sure that is the correct time period as EA hasn’t provided a specific time frame yet. Keep an eye on official Battlefield feeds over the coming months for that information.
Perfect answer.

Xbox.com general preview dashboard had a link for a sign up. But doesn’t say when it happens. Not sure if it was closed alpha or beta or just open beta later on. But then again I’m signed up on so many sites now days i’ll get a code eventually or maybe the dashboard has a clickable icon.
sign up for the battlefield insider program and you get an email probably with the info when its available… its not that anyone here knows…
Yeah it was the Battlefield insider program. Cause I’m in the XBOX1 preview dashboard see we have private forums at xbox.com talking about BF1 insider.
does that make you feel special ?
Well its nice beta testing the dashboard on XBOX1 in advance. Also got us into BF4 CTE. So yeah I guess so. Even though I was in 360 early preview dashboard as well. Also got to test out backward compatibility before rest of the community. So its kinda nice.
I’m betting on July 28. The day the great war began.
i like your way of thinking mmmm you could be right , but if your not … you shoulda been
The best surprise would be if they showed it at E3 or the EA show or whatever…then their “one more thing” would be a mic drop “oh…and the beta is live now.” 
(a man can dream right?)
They might say something around E3
keep watching the official channels, my guess is that we know a date during EA play
I suspect there will be two. One launching during EA lay 2016 similar to the BFH setup. Then another BETA that launches about a month or so before launch. This way the servers will be tested properly before launch with no issues. The might be a chance that the one at EA Play is similar to the SWBF Alpha with Limited slots. We shall just have to wait and see.
My guess is late June if not after E3. Like someone else said look for a second beta in September.
DUDE duded!!! Thatd be SUPA SWICK! Like, hey guys hope you had a phun thyme M1C DR0P x69 beta is out btw and then Dubstep starts blasting so loud out of the surround sound!!!1 It’s like so loud people are screaming-not yelling, but screaming, pounding their heads and scrambling for the exits all while the wealthy 45 year old exec/presenter is obliviously doing the worm! The expression on his face is of nothing seen before, he has the Eye of the . The rising volume of the piercing Dubstep becomes unbearable after a short time and the camera guy runs away, dropping the equipment while still streaming. The camera is on its side whilst viewers watch in horror as some fat 70 year old retired journalist/gamer, attending on his own time for fun, collapses onto the ground having a disturbingly violent seizure and then dying.
At this point EA’s crew backstage joined the presenter onstage and they’re all doing a coordinated dance routine while the few dozen people left are on the ground with their fingers in their ears, attempting, but failing, to drown out the hellish substep. EA doesnt miss a beat though and continues for over 8 hours of dubstep louder than a super bowl stadium. The beta never worked by the way and people are trying to get support at 4am EST but all of EA is on that stage of theirs dancing.
That’d be sweet man I agree!
I agree with this one. The first one to where they have enough time to change anything they need according to our feed back (without having to delay the game) and then a later one closer to launch
I definitely want to try to get into this beta. This game is gonna be good.
