The inaugural Call of Duty League season is ready to come to an end. It’s finally time for the playoffs and finals, and all 12 teams have a chance to win it.
The playoffs run from Aug. 19 to 23, while the finals take place the following weekend on Aug. 29 and 30. When all is finished, one team will reign supreme to take home the massive $1.5 million grand prize of the $4.6 million total prize pool.
While the league got off to a great start with a number of awesome homestand events, the COVID-19 pandemic forced it into an online environment. CDL Champs will also be played online, but the action will be just as intense.
