This will be the fourth season of crossover content between Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard, both of which will receive lots of new stuff as part of the update.

Although the Pacific Caldera map will still exist, the developers are taking this opportunity to add another map - called Fortune's Keep - to the free Warzone experience. So it's a great day to be a CoD fan, basically.

The full patch notes have now been shared and we know exactly what time Warzone season 4 will start (in the UK and beyond), so keep on reading as we run through all of the important details.

Warzone season 4 release date

The Warzone season 4 release date is Wednesday 22nd June 2022. The update will bring the changes in the free Call of Duty game.

This should tide us over nicely until the arrival of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which is due later in the year. It's not exactly a quiet time for CoD fans!

When does Warzone season 4 start?

The Warzone season 4 start time will be 9am PT. Here in the UK, this means that Warzone season 4 will start at 5pm BST on 22nd June for British fans.

The night before, at 5pm BST on 21st June, the update for Vanguard arrived - you should be able to download it and get started with the new content, so long as you've already paid for the Vanguard base game.
