Professional Call of Duty players have won tens of millions of dollars in collective prize money over the years, but who has won the most individually? With the fourth Call of Duty League season starting finally over, here are the 20 players who have earned the most throughout their careers. 

Over the last decade, Call of Duty has seen a steady rise in prize money awarded, with players earning hundreds of thousands of dollars thanks to their feats in the popular first-person shooter. It’s no surprise that winning teams take center stage, with players from the dominant dynasty rosters taking home the biggest prizes.

With Champs 2023 now in the rearview mirror, and New York Subliners etching their names in the history books, here’s the updated list of the top 20 highest-earning COD players of all time.

*Note: Some players have also earned money in Halo. However, these winnings have been deducted from the table below to only show winnings in Call of Duty. The list includes prize money only and not salary earnings. Figures may not be completely accurate but are as close as possible.
