Season 2 is set to launch very soon across Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, but what time does it start? 



Both Call Of Duty sequels will receive a suite of new content once the delayed Season 2 update finally goes live in a few hours, as confirmed by Activision’s official breakdown . 



From new maps and modes to more high stakes missions, there are plenty of things to keep you busy, especially when it comes to Warzone 2, which seems to have gotten the lion’s share of additions. 



To make sure you don’t miss a second of the new season, here’s when the update will go live… 



When will Season 2 start in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2?  



You won’t need to wait much longer as Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 Season 2 will begin on Wednesday, February 15 at 5pm GMT. 



As usual, if you notice your game slowing down around that time, there’s no need to panic, as it’s due to the incoming update. 



Judging from the previous season, the Season 2 Reloaded update will likely go live around a month or two later, meaning it’ll be available in mid to late March.
