 Iron Banner offers a top-tier PvP experience but is only around at specific times of the season. To make sure you don’t miss out we’ve put together this Destiny 2 Iron Banner schedule.

Dating back to the original Destiny, Iron Banner has been an important part of The Crucible for several years. Only showing up a few types a season the limited-time PvP playlist offers guardians something a little different.

Not only are there unique rewards to gather but Iron Banner also has exclusive game modes that can’t be found elsewhere. Therefore you won’t want to miss the weeks when it’s live.

To make sure that doesn’t happen, we’ve covered you with this schedule detailing when Iron Banner will next go live in Destiny 2.

When is the next Iron Banner event?

Iron Banner will return on April 2nd, 2024,  and run until the following Tuesday April 9th, 2024.

The Iron Banner will then return one more time on April 30th, 2024, and will run until the following Tuesday on 7th May, 2024.

Ordinarily, the Iron Banner schedule wouldn’t have the PvP mode appear again this season but with Season of the Wish’s extended duration, a further three appearances are expected before The Final Shape.

What is Iron Banner?

Iron Banner is a PvP game mode that only appears three times each season. Each week offers either a unique twist on an existing Crucible game mode or a unique mode exclusive to Iron Banner.

Gaining reputation in Iron Banner differs from other modes with additional rank points earned as you play more games as well as having both Iron Banner gear equipped and the Iron Banner emblem active.
