The fourth season of the Call of Duty League is on the horizon, and going into a double-header of Modern Warfare 2 campaigns, a restructured format has come with it. Introducing, the Call of Duty League 2022-23.
CDL 2023-23 Season Dates Announced
Having seen seasons gone by launch the CDL in the wake of a new year, fans have pleaded with the league to bring forward the calendar and strike while the popularity iron is hot; it appears ears have been on the ground for the CDL, as the season is set to kick off on December 2, 2022.
In a renewed structure, the CDL 2022-23 season will ditch the 'Kickoff Classic' style of opening and instead opt for online qualifiers for a December 15 Major I in Raleigh, North Carolina. The qualifiers will start just 35 days after Modern Warfare 2 comes out on October 26, with some teams *cough Vegas Legion cough* yet to have settled on a starting roster.
The new format will see the CDL host five Majors throughout the year, all of which will build up to the pinnacle of CDL action: Champs.
Â
Six cities will play host to the CDL 2022-23 season events, with four having already been revealed as so:
- Major I (Pro-AM): Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
- Hosted by the Call of Duty League
- December 15-18
- Hosted by the Call of Duty League
- Major II: Boston, Massachusetts, USAÂ
- Hosted by Boston Breach
- Major III: Texas, Dallas, USA
- Hosted by OpTic Texas
- Major IV: New York, New York State, USA
- Hosted by New York Subliners
- Major V: TBD
- World Championships: TBD
Raleigh will host CDL action for the first time, having long been a fixture of Call of Duty esports before the formation of the franchised league, especially during the CWL and MLG eras. Boston will also be a CDL stop for the first time, despite Breach helping out with the New York Major of last season.
The first Major in Raleigh will also play host to a Challengers Open, a military esports tournament named C.O.D.E Bowl, and the Call of Duty: Mobile World Champions which will be held on LAN for the first time.
With two events to be detailed later in the year (with hopes of a European venture), fans can finally get some CDL action before Christmas and bask in the hype of Modern Warfare 2.
