Destiny 2 Iron Banner Schedule: Upcoming Live Dates and Times

Iron Banner provides Destiny 2 players with a premier PvP experience, but it only occurs during certain periods of the season. Here’s the schedule for the next appearance of this exclusive Crucible playlist and the rewards available during The Final Shape.

Originating from the original Destiny, Iron Banner has been a significant component of The Crucible for many years. This limited-time PvP playlist, which appears only a few times per season, offers guardians an exciting alternative.

In addition to unique rewards, Iron Banner features exclusive game modes that are not available in other playlists. Consequently, you won’t want to miss the weeks it’s active, as these rewards are rare.

To help you stay informed, refer to this Iron Banner schedule for the next time the PvP event will be live in Bungie’s looter shooter.

Iron Banner will return on November 19, 2024, as part of Revenant Act 2. Bungie has confirmed that the PvP event will “be available every 7 to 8 weeks.” The last occurrence was on September 24, which marked the conclusion of Episode Echoes.

Initially, the event will feature Control mode, before transitioning to Tribute in the second week. During Iron Banner’s active period, Trials of Osiris will be temporarily suspended, resuming only after the event ends.

Iron Banner is a limited-time PvP game mode that appears twice per episode. Each session introduces a unique twist on an existing Crucible game mode or introduces a game mode exclusive to Iron Banner.

Gaining reputation in Iron Banner is different from other modes, as you earn additional rank points by playing more games, equipping Iron Banner gear, and activating the Iron Banner emblem.
