Destiny 2 Iron Banner Schedule: Next Dates & Rewards

No — Iron Banner is OFF as of Friday, August 7, 2026. The last cycle ran Tuesday, July 28 – Tuesday, August 4, 2026 and closed at the August 4 reset.

Under Monument of Triumph rules, Trials of Osiris runs every weekend except Iron Banner weeks. With IB dark, Trials is the live weekend Crucible playlist through the August 11 reset. Kyber's July 28 weekly overview and Shattered Vault's event status both confirm the last Banner already ended.

Next projected Iron Banner: August 25 – September 1, 2026 (Tuesday reset → Tuesday reset), listed as Bonus Focus Pool 1 on Kyber's Corner. That matches the one-week-every-four-weeks cadence from the July 28 start. Trials is unavailable for that IB weekend (roughly August 28 – September 1), then returns the following Friday.

• Last — July 28 – August 4, 2026 · Bonus Pool 2 · Ended
• Next — August 25 – September 1, 2026 · Bonus Pool 1 · Projection
• Following — September 22 – September 29, 2026 · Bonus Pool 2 · Projection

When August 25 opens, Bonus Focus Pool 1 raises drop odds on these weapons (per Kyber's Corner):

• Felwinter's Lie — Solar shotgun staple
• Crimil's Dagger — kinetic hand cannon
• The Forward Path / Reghusk's Pledge — auto rifle options
• The Time-Worn Spire — pulse rifle
• The Wizened Rebuke — Arc fusion
• Gunnora's Axe — Arc slug shotgun
• Iron Battalion armor — 2pc Primary Honing / 4pc Supercyclical

Modes expected: Control + a Quickplay rotator (Fortress was active on the July 28 cycle). Match completions earn Iron Banner Ciphers for Saladin focusing.

The July 28 return was Bonus Focus Pool 2 week (verified via Kyber weekly reset + Iron Banner schedule):

• Iron Battalion — armor set with Primary Honing (2pc) and Supercyclical (4pc)
• Bonus Focus Pool 2 — Multimach CCX, Point of the Stag, Roar of the Bear, Occluded Finality, Finite Impactor, Lethal Abundance, Pressurized Precision
• Modes — Control and Fortress; Trials dark for the IB weekend

Since the Monument of Triumph / June 2026 return, Iron Banner runs on a fixed rotation: one full week every four weeks, Tuesday reset to Tuesday reset. While live:

• Lord Saladin, Event Home, and Event Card are available to all Guardians
• Trials of Osiris is unavailable for that weekend window
• Bonus Focus Pools alternate each IB week (Pool 1 → Pool 2 → Pool 1…)
• Rewards, Cipher focusing, and rank progress are IB-exclusive for that week

When the week ends, Trials resumes the following Friday and Iron Banner focusing closes until the next cycle.

IB is dark this weekend — if you still want endgame Crucible loot, book an LFCarry Trials Flawless carry while the Lighthouse is open, or wait for the August 25 Banner and chase Pool 1 / Iron Battalion with a PRO fireteam.
