To be honest, I think there should only be one every 2-3 months anyway. Ten weeks gives us time to playtest things and come to informed opinions. Once/month is too much all the time.
Either this Thursday/Friday, or next Monday/Tuesday. Wednesdays are terrible for stuff like this.
out of interest why is this?
Wednesday is hump day. The fewest people are paying attention on Wednesdays. Monday into Tuesday people are still paying attention from the weekend, Thursday’s and Fridays people are looking forward to the weekend and start to pay attention again. Wednesday’s most people are falling asleep on their sofas or it’s game night (very traditional game night), so people won’t really see it until Thursday morning anyway.
If they release on Mon/Tue, that gives DDB time to implement them before the weekend so people can use it quickly for their weekend games. If they release on Thu/Fri, then DDB can have it up by Monday to keep people’s interest going through to their Wednesday evening games.
If they release on a Wednesday, DDB still won’t have it up until Monday and people’s interest will have started to wane or their preconceptions will be set by forum debates. And it will have been a whole week between release and their next Wednesday night game, so people will have mellowed their excitement for it.
At this point I believe that we won't see a new UA until a week or so after the announcement this Thursday. BUT with the announcement, we may get an idea of which of the previous UAs are being moved to official status and narrow down what we may see get another pass. I am fairly excited to see what they have in store for us.

I don't think we're getting another UA for this month, and probably the rest of this set. They're probably done playtesting for Xanathar's 2.0

What announcement?
On Thursday at 12pm Pacific, they will announce the next big Adventure and presumably another campaign guide or supplement. It will be part of the Rednose Day events.

That's probably accurate. And that means it's probably coming out in November or so.

It also could have something to do with Bligewater and that could be why there is this gap in UA. I feel like on subclasses we are good, but i really feel like a book like that need something else to accompany it kinda like how Xanathars had the racial feats and traps revisited. Things that we could see in UA form before the book actually comes
What's everyone's thoughts on the Bilgewater content? I'm... not impressed, honestly. The only one I would even think about playing is Renegade, and that's only because it's pretty similar to gunslinger (I don't think its a good thing, though).

It's ok Ranger, you'll always be cool to me.. Unless druid gets another use for its wild shape charges.

I don't understand the source content wherever it came from, and I think the grammar could be more simplistic, and the subclasses more balanced.
The magic items seem like the most balanced part of the whole thing, but they're hard to measure.

Bilgewater is only on D&D Beyond, and I don't think it's official, right? That probably has nothing to do with the UA release schedule.

I don't think so. I'm not sure, though. I know James Haeck helped write it, and he has worked on D&D 5e books before, but also writes primarily for D&D Beyond.
It wouldn't interfere with UA. If it did, they would say so.

They would call it playtest, or group it like the MTG content. Calling it Partnered means it can't be official

Yeah, I think it's just DDB. There's nothing about it on the Wizards website.

It is "partnered content" created with the help the DnDBeyond team and is unofficial.
That being said, it is unbalanced and is equal to some of the worst UA content in my opinion.
