  • Status: Confirmed

  • Quick Answer: Season 1 of Modern Warfare 4 and Warzone is scheduled to go live on November 6, two weeks after the game's full launch.

Modern Warfare 4 is almost here, and to prepare players, Activision shared a launch roadmap detailing all the content arriving in the game over the weeks after launch. This includes Season 1, which won't take long to start this year.

The season signals new content for Warzone, which hasn't seen many additions in recent seasonal updates. To help you keep up with everything, here is all the information about the first post-launch season's launch.

When Does Call of Duty: MW4 Season 1 Start?

Season 1 of Call of Duty: MW4 is scheduled to begin on Friday, November 6, three weeks after the early access campaign period starts and two weeks after the full launch.

Although a time hasn't been disclosed, we expect Season 1 to go live at 9:00 AM PT. Here is the respective time for each time zone:

The chosen day makes us think that Modern Warfare 4 updates will now arrive on Fridays, unlike Black Ops 7, where the weekly reset would usually take place on Thursdays.

Launch Roadmap

In case you haven't seen it, here is the launch roadmap for Modern Warfare 4, which details upcoming additions and important dates in the first few post-launch weeks:

As you can see, the first post-launch addition will be the return of Shipment, arriving four days after release on October 27. Two days later, on October 29, a new Halloween mode titled Possession Mode will be added to Multiplayer. Infected returns on October 30.

This means players will have content to look forward to in the first week post-launch, on top of all the content the game will include at launch.
