Battlegrounds

Players facing off against each other in the Foyada Quarry battleground

Battlegrounds are PvP locations in The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind. In a battleground, three teams consisting of four players are pitted against each other in different gamemodes. Originally, battlegrounds were only available to those that have purchased the Morrowind chapter. They are now available to all players.

Battlegrounds will no longer accept premade groups starting with Update 25. This will be accompanied by a reset of all players' matchmaking rankings.
