Call of Duty League 2025 Major I: Format, Schedule, Results and More
Hosted by the Toronto Ultra at the Caja Mágica in Madrid, the first Major of Call of Duty League 2025 is just around the corner. Starting 30th January, the twelve CDL teams will take on each other in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for CDL Points.
Call of Duty League Major 1: Format, Teams and Schedule
The tournament will feature all twelve CDL teams seeded according to their performance in the qualifiers. The teams as per their seedings are as follows:
| Issue | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Long numbers | Shorter numbers can be OK if they are relevant somehow. However, if you use a name that’s too long your username will just look like a badly AI-generated tempt name. |
| Too many special characters | As above, one relevant special character can be acceptable in some cases. On the whole, however, we would avoid special characters. |
| Long names | Like we said above, short names work better and are more memorable. If your name is too long, most other players won’t even bother to read it and take it in. |
These teams will play an eight team double-elimination bracket with the bottom four teams placed in the lower bracket. In the upper bracket, matchups are as follows:
- 1st seed vs. 8th seed
- 2nd seed vs. 7th seed
- 3rd seed vs. 6th seed
- 4th seed vs. 5th seed
All the matches will be Bo5s with the Grand Finals concluding in a Bo7. The map and modes for the event are as follows:
| Alabama | Arizona | California | Connecticut | Georgia | Hawaii | Idaho | Kentucky | Louisiana |
| Michigan | Mississippi | Montana | Nevada | New Jersey | New York | Ohio | Tennessee | Washington. |
