Keep in mind that during the WoW: Dragonflight beta test, not all features such as the new Raid might be available. There's also a revamped Talent system, Dragonriding and more announced for the expansion, but some of these could only release during a later test.

WoW: Dragonflight beta test release date
At the time of writing, there is no official release date for the WoW: Dragonflight beta test. Blizzard has only noted in the reveal stream that they will be starting alpha testing "soon".
Obviously, alpha testing happens first, followed up by beta testing. We don't expect the Dragonflight beta test to have a release date of earlier than July 2022, with the full expansion likely to release at the end of the year, or in the first quarter of 2023.
Check out the full expansion reveal for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight below, including a cinematic trailer, an overview of Dragonflight, details on the new class/race combo, UI changes, Talent changes and much more below.
Good luck to those who want to join the WoW: Dragonflight beta and test out all the new features such as Dragonriding. Remember, there's no guarantee you will be selected for the Dragonflight beta, and further tests might occur at a later date.
