Final placements in the playoffs will help determine seeding for the championships. The Call of Duty World League Championships will start August 15th-16th at MLG stadium. Following that, it will move to Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, from August 17th-19th. The grand prize will be a majority share of a $1.5 million prize. This season’s prize pool added up to $4.2 million.

For a complete schedule, check out the World League Twitter account and official website.

Call of Duty will be returning once again this year on October 12, 2018, as that is when Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will debut on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game will feature the series’ first-ever battle royale mode, but will lack a single-player campaign. Whether this will have an impact on the league in 2019 is uncertain.
