When does Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 10 start?
We don’t have an official release date for Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 10 yet, but based on the release dates for previous seasons, our educated guess is that Season 10 will start on April 2025. The new season should also rotate the mechanics of the game, perhaps bringing something like Buddies or Quests back into the game mode.
Season 10 will also bring a new Battlegrounds Track filled with cosmetics that follow a new theme (like Season 9’s Technotavern), and a new Season Pass. Assuming the pricing doesn’t change, you should be able to get the Season Pass for either 1500 Runestones (if you buy it in-game) or $15 (if you get it from the Battle.net shop). The Season Pass unlocks extra cosmetics, but — perhaps more importantly — it allows you to choose from four heroes instead of two on every game. So while the pass is not required to play the game, it does sadly give you a distinct gameplay advantage. There’s also a Season Pass+ now, which costs $20 and gives players one free Hero reroll per game (in addition to the standard Season Pass benefits).
It’s also possible that Season 10 will also shake up the roster, removing minions from the game, returning some specific old minions that had been removed before, rebalancing a few of the existing minions, but more importantly, adding new minions to the fray. It’s also expected that the new season should add at least one new Hero to the rotation, as well as rebalance existing ones.
Hearthstone Battlegrounds Seasons are analogous to expansions for Constructed Hearthstone, lasting for about four months each. They’re always released on x.2 patches:
- Season 1 ran from May 10, 2022 (patch 23.2), to August 30, 2022.
- Season 2 ran from August 30, 2022 (patch 24.2) to January 17, 2023.
- Season 3 ran from January 17, 2023 (patch 25.2) to May 9, 2023.
- Season 4 ran from May 9, 2023 (patch 26.2) to August 22, 2023.
- Season 5 ran from August 22, 2023 (patch 27.2) to December 5, 2023.
- Season 6 ran from December 5, 2023 (patch 28.2) to April 16, 2024.
- Season 7 ran from April 16, 2024 (patch 29.2) to August 20, 2024.
- Season 8 ran from August 20, 2024 (patch 30.2) to December 3, 2024.
- Season 9 started December 3, 2025 (patch 31.2). It’s expected to run until April 2025.
So that’s the answer for now: while no official announcement has been made as of yet, we fully expect Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 10 to release around April 2025.
