The 2023 Call of Duty League season is set to officially kick off on Friday, Dec. 2 with the Major One qualifiers, starting with a 2pm CT online match between Boston Breach and Atlanta FaZe. But there is reportedly no streaming platform deal in place, raising questions about where the matches will be broadcast with less than 24 hours before they start.
The previous streaming deal between the CDL and Google (via YouTube) expired at the end of the 2022 season and there is no current media deal with any platform in place, according to Kevin Hitt of the Sports Business Journal. Google signed a three-year, $160 million deal to be the exclusive broadcast partner for both the CDL and the Overwatch League at the start of 2020, streaming the competition for both leagues over the next three seasons.
