CDL 2027 Schedule Announcement Reveals Return to UK and Europe
The Call of Duty League has announced its 2027 schedule, revealing a significant return to the United Kingdom and Europe with Major tournaments at two European locations: one in February at a yet-to-be-confirmed venue, and another in April at DreamHack Birmingham in the UK.
This expansion follows an exceptionally successful 2026 season marked by record-breaking ticket sales and unprecedented venue attendance. Events sold out rapidly, with venues welcoming large, enthusiastic crowds that exceeded expectations and established strong momentum heading into 2027.
The 2027 competitive season will continue on Modern Warfare 4, maintaining the competitive foundation established this year. The league’s return to Europe reflects both international fan demand and the proven viability of hosting major esports events in the region. DreamHack Birmingham earned its position as the UK venue based on its track record, which included hosting one of the fastest-selling Call of Duty esports tournaments this year.
The specific location for the February European Major is expected to be announced shortly as organizers finalize logistics. This phased announcement approach allows the Call of Duty League to build anticipation while planning what promises to be an ambitious international calendar.
The announcement underscores the franchise’s commitment to expanding its global presence and delivering premier competitive events to international audiences, particularly in regions with established esports engagement.
