The first-ever ranked season of Deadlock is coming to an end, and players don’t have much time left to hit their peak ranks before they’re cemented in their profiles forever prior to a rank reset.
For the unaware, Deadlock Beta Season 1 kicked off July 30, 2026, and was originally scheduled to end on October 7th. The devs later decided to extend the ranked season and postpone the launch of Season 2 to avoid pushing out the new season alongside the City Never Sleeps content update.
A month later, we’re standing just on the brink of the conclusion of the first ranked season of the Deadlock closed beta, with Season 2 being just around the corner.
Deadlock Beta Season 1 End Date and Time
Valve has confirmed that the Deadlock Beta Season 1 will come to an end on November 6, 2026, over three months after it initially went live. The season is expected to come to an end at around 00:00 UTC, but the exact timing isn’t clear as of yet.
The peak rank that you managed to reach in Deadlock Beta Season 1 will be displayed on your player profile once the season comes to an end.
At the time of writing, players require a total of 60 Standard wins and 15 wins per individual hero to queue for the ranked mode.
When Does Deadlock Season 2 Start?
The second season of Deadlock ranked will likely kick off right after the conclusion of Beta Season 1. Whether the new Season introduces a new gameplay update to spice up the game’s meta remains to be seen. However, considering the fact that Deadlock just received a gameplay update earlier today, fans shouldn’t get their hopes up just yet.
