Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has undoubtedly been a commercial success for Activision and Treyarch. It's been one of the best-received Call of Duty titles in years and it did it not by copying the old tried and true Call of Duty formula, but by attempting something new with its unique omnimovement system.

Casual and hardcore fans alike have been enjoying the latest installment to the Call of Duty franchise. With competitive Call of Duty being much different from a regular public match, it makes sense that some years are better for one than the other. This year's title seems to be one of the few that satisfy both sides.

Call of Duty's premier esports league since the 2020 season has been the Call of Duty League. Major 1 of the Call of Duty League just wrapped up a few weeks ago where Atlanta FaZe earned the first major title of the Black Ops 6 season. Now it's time for stage 2.

What Is The CDL Format?

The Call of Duty League has a simple formula. Teams will compete in online qualifiers each weekend from Friday, February 14 through Sunday, March 16. They will then compete in a 4 day LAN Major tournament from Thursday, March 20 to Sunday, March 23.

At the halfway point during the online qualifiers, the teams will compete in a Minor tournament that is single elimination with a much smaller prize pool and is online. The seeding for the minor is determined by the rankings at the halfway point of the stage.

After all the online qualifier matches have concluded, the standings for the individual stage determine seeding for the major. A Major is a double elimination tournament on LAN, with all series being the standard best of 5 formats except for the grand finals, which is a best of 7. The top 8 teams in the standings at the end of the stage start in the winner's bracket and the bottom 4 teams start in the loser's bracket.

When And Where To Watch Stage 2 Of the CDL?

All matches of the Call of Duty League are streamed on its own official YouTube channel. During each weekend of the online qualifier matches some teams will play two series and some teams will play one. Online qualifier matches start at 3 PM EST with 90-minute time blocks. Fridays have 3 matches, Saturdays have 4 matches, and Sundays have 3 matches.
