Season 5 is nearly here for Call of Duty: Warzone, and here’s the exact time when you can start playing the new update. This season brings new weapons, modes, and operators to Warzone. The Gulag is being changed to the Rush map, two new perks are being added to the game, and new POIs will be scattered across Verdansk. A new mid-season event is coming soon as well, so there’s a lot to look forward to.

Warzone Season 5 Start Time

Season 5 of Call of Duty: Warzone will begin on August 12 at 9 PM PT/12 AM ET. The season was originally scheduled to release the day before, but Activision has delayed the new season by 24 hours to fix a testing issue that was discovered earlier this week.

The update file for the patch will be released when the season goes live, but the Black Ops Cold War update will be released on August 11 at 9 PM PT/12 AM ET. Even though the update will be released earlier for Black Ops, the new seasonal content won’t be available until Season 5 officially begins.
