The Call of Duty League heads to London for its second week on February 8-9, and here’s everything you need to know to catch all the action.
The CDL kicked off with a launch weekend in Minnesota on January 24-26, which saw all twelve franchises make their debut.
Now, the league is headed to London for the first tournament weekend of the year, hosted by the London Royal Ravens at the Copper Box Arena. Unlike the launch event only eight teams will be in attendance, and they’ll be battling to claim the first CDL title of the season, as well as earning extra points for the overall standings the further they make it into the bracket.

Format & rules
Unlike the CDL Launch Weekend, in which all teams played two games against pre-arranged opponents, CDL London will be the first event featuring a tournament format which will be used for the rest of the regular season events.
The teams will be split into two groups of four, each of which will operate a double elimination bracket – two series wins secures a spot in the playoffs, two losses mean elimination. Four teams will reach the playoffs, which will consist of a single-elimination semifinals and final.
In addition to glory at CDL London itself, teams will also pick up points towards the overall standings. Each series victory is worth 10 CDL Points, with additional bonus points
- 1st – 50 CDL Points
- 2nd – 30 CDL Points
- 3rd/4th – 20 CDL Points
- 5th/6th – 10 CDL Points
- 7th/8th – 0 CDL Points
Winning a tournament weekend would grant a team a total of 90 CDL Points, as it requires four series victories to escape the group and with the final playoffs, meaning even early on in the season a tournament win could have a major impact on a team’s year. Conversely, walking away without a series win could put some teams at a notable deficit.
