When is the next double XP weekend in Black Ops 7 and Warzone
The latest Black Ops 7 double XP event kicked off on Jan. 15 at noon CT and will end on Jan. 20, 2026, at the same time.
This is the fourth double XP event since Warzone integrated with BO7 on Dec. 4 with the Season 1 update. During this time, you can enjoy double player XP, double Weapon XP, double Battle Pass XP, and double Gobblegum earn rate, coming at an ideal time to boost progress in the Quantum Exchange and Baron of the Wasteland Leaderboard events.
This is also the first time Activision has included faster Battle Pass progression in their double XP events.
This one has arrived to celebrate the 115 Day period, and you can expect more of these events aligned with upcoming holidays and seasonal updates. You may as well bookmark this page to stay updated on all the ongoing and forthcoming double XP weekends in BO7.
The first double XP event kicked off on Nov. 21 and ended on Nov. 24, following the usual Friday to Monday schedule. Then, Activision gave us another double XP weekend during Thanksgiving and Black Friday in November 2025.

All game modes included in the BO7 Double XP event
All primary modes in Black Ops 7, including Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and even the Co-Op Campaign, benefit from the double XP event. Warzone is included as well.
Players can focus on their favorite activities, whether that’s slaying zombies, dominating the leaderboard, or unlocking exclusive rewards across different challenges.
Best BO7 game modes to farm XP during Double XP weekends
The best game modes to maximise on Double XP weekends are:
- Kill Confirmed: This mode is one of the best because you earn XP for kills and get additional score for confirming dog tags, which can add up quickly with the right perks and UAV support.
- Domination: Holding and contesting multiple objective points forces consistent combat engagement, spawning enemies near you for rapid kills and numerous defensive or offensive objective completions, all contributing large XP bonuses.
- Hardpoint: This mode revolves around controlling a moving objective, rewarding continuous kills, captures, and defenses with high XP output.
- Zombies Survival Maps: Using items like the Rampage Inducer to spawn more enemies and kiting them in smaller maps leads to rapid XP farming through efficient enemy kills.
So, what I would suggest is focusing on high-XP activities, such as completing challenges, camo tasks, and objective-based modes, to maximize double XP events. Also, play with friends and join large lobbies to take advantage of party XP bonuses.
Remember, double XP tokens don’t work during these events. When the global double XP event is active, Activision automatically disables the use of XP tokens, and any remaining token time is paused until the event ends.
You can boost your progress during double XP events by utilizing the meta weapons in Black Ops 7, and making sure you have these settings sorted before jumping into Multiplayer and BR:
- Best audio settings
- Best movement settings
- Best aim assist settings
- Best PC graphics settings
- Best controller settings
- Best mouse and keyboard settings
