 ## Deprecations
 
 * X behavior is deprecated and will be removed in X versions ([#X](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/X)).
+* Beam ZetaSQL is deprecated and will be removed no earlier than Beam 2.68.0 ([#34423](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/34423)).
+  Users are recommended to switch to [Calcite SQL](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/dsls/sql/calcite/overview/) dialect.

 ## Beam SQL extensions
 Beam SQL has additional extensions leveraging Beam’s unified batch/streaming model and processing complex data types. You can use these extensions with all Beam SQL dialects.

 # Beam ZetaSQL overview
+
+**Note:** Beam ZetaSQL has been deprecated ([details](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/34423)). Please switch to use the default [Calcite SQL](/documentation/dsls/sql/calcite/overview) dialect.

 Beam SQL supports a variant of the [ZetaSQL](https://github.com/google/zetasql) language. ZetaSQL is similar to the language in BigQuery's SQL framework. This Beam SQL dialect is especially useful in pipelines that [write to or read from BigQuery tables](https://beam.apache.org/releases/javadoc/current/org/apache/beam/sdk/io/gcp/bigquery/BigQueryIO.html).
 
 Beam SQL has additional extensions leveraging Beam’s unified batch/streaming model and processing complex data types. You can use these extensions with all Beam SQL dialects, including Beam ZetaSQL.
