Guide to Obtaining CDL Drops & Rewards for Black Ops 6 in 2025

The excitement is palpable as the Call of Duty League (CDL) gears up for its 2025 season, kicking off with Major 1 LAN in Madrid, Spain. This event not only promises thrilling gameplay but also offers fans a chance to earn exclusive viewership rewards.

While the competitive landscape is evolving with Black Ops 6 firmly underway, the CDL season is still in its early days. Following an online preliminary round that began in December, complete with qualifiers and a minor tournament, the focus now shifts to LAN matches where the real stakes lie.

This year, the revamped OpTic Gaming, having swapped Pred for Huke, has shown impressive performance, emerging as the top seed after qualifiers. They will head into the Madrid event with high hopes, closely pursued by the hosting team, Toronto Ultra, who secured the second seed.

This marks the first European Call of Duty League event since 2020, generating heightened anticipation among fans. If you can’t make it to Madrid in person, don’t worry—you can still participate from the comfort of your home.
