Destiny 2 Iron Banner Schedule: Next Dates & Rewards

Yes — Iron Banner is LIVE as of Tuesday, August 25, 2026 (17:00 UTC weekly reset) through Tuesday, September 1, 2026.

Kyber's Corner dated weekly reset for August 25–September 1 lists it as a live event with Control and Tribute in the 6v6 slot. Trials of Osiris is unavailable while Banner is up, then returns after the September 1 reset.

Live now: August 25 – September 1, 2026 (Tuesday reset → Tuesday reset), listed as Bonus Focus Pool 1 on Kyber's Corner Iron Banner rotation. Trials stays dark for the IB weekend (roughly August 28 – September 1).

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

Bonus Focus Pool 1 raises drop odds on these weapons (per Kyber's Corner Iron Banner page, fetched August 25, 2026):

• Felwinter's Lie — Solar shotgun
• Crimil's Dagger — kinetic hand cannon
• The Forward Path / Reghusk's Pledge — auto rifles
• 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 this week: Control + Tribute (6v6). The Tribute weekly challenge rewards Qua Vinctus IV. Match completions earn Iron Banner Ciphers for Saladin focusing.

The July 28 return was Bonus Focus Pool 2 week:

• 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 that cycle; 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.

Banner is live through September 1 — if you want Pool 1 weapons or Iron Battalion pieces without a full week in Control and Tribute, ask Emily on this page for a farm plan, or book a PRO fireteam from the Destiny 2 offer shelf. Trials of Osiris returns the Friday after this Banner ends.
