Destiny 2 Iron Banner Schedule: Next Dates & Rewards (July 2026)

Is Iron Banner live this week?

Yes — Iron Banner is LIVE from Tuesday, July 28 through Tuesday, August 4, 2026 (weekly reset → reset). It ends at August 4, 10 AM PT / 17:00 UTC. Confirmed on Kyber's Corner weekly overview (Live Event: Iron Banner) and the Iron Banner schedule page (Available Now: Jul 28 – Aug 4). Trials of Osiris is not active while Banner is up.

Modes and Bonus Focus Pool 2

  • Multimach CCX — Kinetic SMG
  • Point of the Stag — Arc combat bow

Iron Banner and Crucible, handled

While you wait for the next Banner — the PvP packages that carry over.

Iron Battalion armor goals

Chase Iron Battalion while the Event Home track is open: 2-piece Primary Honing (Primary handling/reload + damage vs non-boss from Weapons stat) and 4-piece Supercyclical (Super final blows refund Super energy when it ends). Event Card ranks also award weapon/armor engrams, the Young Wolf's Pack emblem, and the Salute of the Lords emote. Equip IB gear to raise the Crucible Performance Multiplier shown in Event Home.

Next Iron Banner date

After August 4, the next projected cycle is August 25 – September 1, 2026 with Bonus Focus Pool 1 (Felwinter's Lie / Crimil's Dagger / Forward Path line), then September 22 – 29 (Pool 2 again). Treat those as working dates from Kyber's four-week table until Event Home or a TWID confirms. Between IB weeks, Trials resumes on Fridays (next: August 7).

Note on Crucible set bonuses

As of a July 30 Destiny 2 Team update, the four-piece Bountiful Munitions (Cyberserpent Null) set bonus is disabled in Crucible Ops playlists, including Iron Banner, due to a Special ammo exploit. It still works in PvE. Plan loadouts accordingly for the rest of this Banner week.
