The THIRD season of the Call of Duty League (CDL) is slated to kick off the season with what they call the “Kickoff classic” beginning February 4, 2022 with futures betting and daily markets available at BetOnline (available most jurisdictions worldwide).
This will include a mixture of online and offline events.
The league confirmed a change in the format of the four 2022 Majors, as it will now include all 12 teams. The league had previously announced that only eight teams would qualify for these LAN events.
