How to watch CDL Chicago: stream, schedule, results, brackets, more

The Chicago Home Series has now wrapped up, with Dallas Empire claiming victory! Check out our full CDL Chicago recap for the final placements, Grand Final highlights, and more.

The current ongoing global health crisis has forced some adversity upon the Call of Duty League’s very first season, forcing Activision to restructure the format and schedule so that all remaining Home Series are played online.

CDL Chicago will be the second event in such way, following the Dallas Empire’s Home Series that saw underdogs Florida Mutineers surprisingly claim first place.

Aside from it being online, the tournament will work the same way it would on LAN; as per usual, only eight of the league’s 12 teams will participate over the course of three days.

There will be some heavy hitters in attendance – Huntsmen, Empire, and Atlanta FaZe, who most fans will agree are the top-three teams in the CDL, will all be competing.

Format & rules

Like all CDL events, the Chicago Home Series will operate a tournament format featuring eight of the league’s 12 teams in attendance.

The squads will be split into two groups of four, in which they will play a double-elimination bracket. Two series wins will guarantee a spot in the playoffs while two losses will mean elimination.
