EA are letting all BF1 players have free access to Premium content from the 15th to the 21st August. Seems it will be a regular type of event with the next one in September when the Russian DLC will be available in the same way.
Note that XP will be recorded for non-Premium owners, but will only be added (retrospectively so) if you go on to buy Premium. Also you can't use the Premium content weapons unless you own Premium.

Can anyone confirm - I think if you are in a party and the lead has Premium you can join DLC maps anyway??

Yep that's Premium Friends which they do from time to time as well, this is Premium Trials where you don't need to join a friend. Handy for trying the maps out but no XP awarded unless you purchase Premium
You need to have the base game in Origin origin.com/gbr…oad. The DLC will install automatically (it did for me) then you can play the DLC maps for free through to the 21st August. After the 21st, you have to buy the DLC to play it further.

I had that earlier too. I think it's a problem on EA's side. The free play was fine before

Hmm, tried it again this morning.. still the same problem. Real shame, as I was seriously considering buying the pass at the current offer and this was a great opportunity to test it out. Won't be buying now!
