In addition to Elliot’s suggested method, if you didn’t want to change the value saved to the database, you could use the DateTime ‘format’ method:

$date = get_field("my_date_field");

// assuming your return format is "Ymd"
$dateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat("Ymd", $date);

if ( is_object($dateTime) ) {
  $month = $dateTime->format('F');
  $year = $dateTime->format('Y');
  //...
}
