You can request a WoW Forever beta invitation on Blizzard’s official page. That is a chance to join; selected upgrade packs separately include beta access.

Where to request an invitation
- Open the official WoW Forever page.
- Find the Beta & Game Updates section.
- Read the signup information and use Request Beta Access to follow Blizzard’s prompts.
The signup notice also covers email news and offers. We checked the visible request form; this guide does not verify the post-submission confirmation or invitation timing.
Open Blizzard’s beta request pageDoes a normal subscription include beta access?
Blizzard says the released game is included with a WoW subscription or Game Time, while naming separate beta-access benefits for the Epic Pack and Collection. A launch-access statement alone is not a promise of beta access. Read Blizzard’s overview.
What to Check Before Buying a Pack
If you are happy to wait for a possible invitation, start with the opt-in information. If you are considering a pack specifically for beta access, verify its exact name and current account conditions on Blizzard’s site before purchasing. Do not use an old price or a similarly named pack as proof of eligibility.
