How to watch Call of Duty League Major 1 qualifiers?
The 2024 Call of Duty League (CDL) season unfolds with a streamlined schedule, featuring four majors instead of the previous five.
The addition of the Miami Heretics and Caroline Royal Ravens, replacing the Florida Mutineers and London Royal Ravens, brings fresh competition to the 12-team roster.
Online qualification battles over four weeks in December and January, interrupted by a brief holiday break, set the stage for Call of Duty League Major 1 in Boston, MA. There will be special skins available for each of the teams in the MW3 store for purchase.
CDL has announced exclusive streaming on YouTube Gaming from December 7, prompting mixed reactions. Despite this, popular watch parties on Twitch and YouTube, like The Flank and Scump’s, continue, albeit sans gameplay due to exclusivity. Activision’s actions on Scump’s Twitch stream fuel community discontent, adding intrigue to the evolving CDL landscape.
