Is Iron Banner live this week?
No. Iron Banner is OFF as of Saturday, July 11, 2026. The last cycle ran Tuesday, June 30 – Tuesday, July 7, 2026 (reset to reset) and closed at the July 7 weekly reset. With IB dark, Trials of Osiris is the live weekend Crucible playlist through July 14. Kyber's Corner weekly overview and automated Iron Banner schedule both show no active Banner this week.
Next Iron Banner date (projection)
Next projected Iron Banner: July 28 – August 4, 2026 (Tuesday reset → Tuesday reset). That date is derived from Kyber's Iron Banner schedule seed (June 30 start, one week every four weeks, 28-day interval) and matches the existing four-week cadence. Bungie has not always published hard calendar dates — treat July 28 as the working plan until the in-game Event Home confirms it. Following projected window: August 25 – September 1, 2026 (Bonus Focus Pool 1).
Last cycle rewards recap (June 30 – July 7)
The June 30 return introduced the post–Monument of Triumph Iron Banner refresh. Headline loot from that cycle:
- Iron Battalion armor — 2-piece Primary Honing and 4-piece Supercyclical
- Reprised weapons including Felwinter's Lie, Multimach CCX, Crimil's Dagger, The Forward Path, and Point of the Stag
- Tiered focusing with Iron Banner Ciphers
- Modes: Control and Eruption (6v6); Trials stayed dark while IB was live
Bonus Focus Pool 1 featured Felwinter's Lie, Crimil's Dagger, and Forward Path–line weapons on that first cycle.
How the 4-week cadence works
Since the June 2026 Iron Banner return, the event runs one full week every four weeks, Tuesday reset to Tuesday reset. While live, Lord Saladin, the Event Home, and Iron Banner focusing are available; Trials of Osiris is unavailable for that weekend. When the week ends, Trials resumes the following Friday and IB focusing closes until the next cycle. Bonus Focus Pools alternate each IB week (Pool 1, then Pool 2). Kyber's Iron Banner guide documents the rotation rules.
What to do during the off-week
Featured PvE this reset (July 7–14) includes raids Salvation's Edge and Vow of the Disciple, dungeons Vesper's Host and Duality, and Grandmaster Nightfall Exodus Crash with weekly reward Adored — per Kyber's weekly overview and Today in Destiny raid listings. For PvP, run Trials of Osiris this weekend or prep loadouts for the July 28 Banner projection.
Skip the grind
While Iron Banner is dark, book an LFCarry Trials of Osiris Flawless carry to secure Lighthouse loot this weekend, or queue a featured raid carry for Salvation's Edge and Vow of the Disciple before the Tuesday reset closes the July 7–14 window.
