After a busy season that actually started in late 2024, the Call of Duty League will once again wrap up this weekend, all following its mega Championship Weekend event. This tournament will crown a season victor and will also be the final CDL event that is played on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, as the next season will transition to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
With the event almost here, we’ve cooked up this primer to ensure you have all the necessary information and details.

Who are the attending teams?
- Miami Heretics
- Vancouver Surge
- Boston Breach
- Los Angeles Thieves

What is the schedule of events?
