During its quarterly investor's call on Tuesday, EA said we can expect the next Battlefield game to release sometime during its 2026 fiscal year.
Different companies define their fiscal years differently. EA is currently in its 2025 fiscal year, but that ends soon with March, after which the 2026 fiscal year begins.
So, where EA is concerned, the 2026 financial year starts this April. Yeah, it's baffling, but that's how they do it, and it means that the next Battlefield will be out sometime between this April and the start of April 2026, if everything goes to plan.
Things could change, of course: Answering a question during the call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said that if the FY2026 release window turns out not to be ideal—say, because of a big competing game—the timing could change.
I also doubt that EA plans to release the new Battlefield this calendar year, even if it's within its release window. Sometime early next year seems most likely.
