Activision Blizzard rolled out this new platform along with the newly introducedCall of Duty Leagueand shared how it wants franchise partners to host both main event and Challenger competitions throughout the new season. In a recently publishedblog post, the Call of Duty League confirmed that there will be open bracket competitions all year, with a complete schedule of these events to be announced sometime in the future.

Players who want to compete in Challengers can participate in both online and offline events to get the points they need to climb up the player rankings. These points, when combined with four other players in the team, will help determine the seeding positions within the Challengers League.
