The Vanguard event will happen in Warzone at 1:30 pm EST on Thursday, Aug. 19.

This was first confirmed by a leaked teaser image found on the Playstation Store, before later being confirmed in a tweet by the official CoD account.

Similar to Call of Duty: Cold War, the reveal for Vanguard will be a worldwide, concurrent event happening in Warzone. Over the past few years reveals like this have become commonplace since Fortnite began utilizing this method to unveil their new season's.

Unlike the Cold War reveal, CoD fans have not had to crack cyphers, find in game clues, and wait for cryptic tweets from Activision.

Vanguard's reveal appeals to be much more simplistic and direct, but not much is known about the Warzone event. Fans are hoping that the map changes, or potential introduction of an entirely new map, will happen quicker then last year's reveal. The Verdansk '84 event consisted of multiple stages with map changes spanning over multiple months.
