For the first time since the league was franchised, the Call of Duty League hosted a Pro-Am tournament, letting the top four Challengers teams compete against the CDL franchises to prove they deserve a spot in the big leagues. Here’s everything you need to know about the tournament.

Since the CDL was franchised in 2019, only 12 teams have been allowed to compete at the very top, a far cry from the Open tournaments that Call of Duty fans had become accustomed to prior to that.

In the seasons since, fans have clamored for a return to the old type of tournament, where rookies are given the chance to upset some of the biggest names in CoD and the event didn’t let down.

There was drama and upsets abound as the New York Subliners claimed the top spot along with the $100,000 first place prize.

CDL Pro-Am Classic stream & schedule

The event was livestreamed from Colombus, Ohio, on the official Call of Duty League YouTube channel, embedded above. There are also three other streams, ensuring every match is broadcast:

The Pro-Am Classic officially kicked off at 12 PM PT (3 PM ET/8 PM BST) on Thursday, May 5, one week before the CDL itself returns to action. It will start at the same time on each day of the tournament.
