Double XP weekend provides the perfect opportunity for Black Ops 6 players to level up and unlock gear quickly, so it’s important that you know when the next double XP event will start.
It’s no secret that leveling in BO6 isn’t that fast, with Call of Duty fans being vocal about the slow weapon leveling in particular.

Anyone taking the prestige grind seriously needs to get involved in every double XP weekend they can. To help you out, we’ve outlined when the next Double XP weekend will start so you don’t miss out.
