Black Ops 7 players wondering when the first double XP window lands should pencil in late November as a possibility. A prominent data miner has posted dates that would see a longer-than-usual event around the Thanksgiving period in the US, but Activision has not officially confirmed anything yet.
No official announcement has arrived from Activision, but according to a post by the data miner Reality on X, the first double XP event in Black Ops 7 would start on November 25 and run until December 1, giving players six full days to level weapons and ranks more quickly. The post is public and can be read directly on X.
First DXP event begins November 25th, ends December 1st

Take the dates as tentative information for now. Reality has been accurate in past leaks but Activision still needs to confirm the schedule publicly. Until that happens, treat November 25 to December 1 as possible but not guaranteed. Past Black Ops releases give an idea of rhythm. In Black Ops 6 double XP popped up at least once a month and several months had two events. If Activision follows a similar cadence then players can likely expect multiple double XP weekends across Season 1 and through the holiday period.
If the leak is accurate, elite grinders and casual players who want to push Prestiges should plan a session or two during the final week of November. For everyone else, wait for an official Activision post before rearranging schedules or buying items tied to weekend bonuses.
