CDL’s reported return to YouTube is just another misstep in CoD esports’ eternal search for progress

Just days ago, during a poorly received community update, Call of Duty League general manager Daniel Tsay touted the league’s live viewership, which he said had increased 75 percent year-over-year. That number would seem to indicate that the CDL, in its fourth year, is on the upswing. But that positive momentum may come to a screeching halt soon.

Dexerto reported earlier today that the CDL is set to return to YouTube Gaming, the platform the league had exclusively broadcast its matches on for the first three seasons before suddenly moving to Twitch just ahead of the current season’s opener in December 2022. But the league did not sign an exclusive broadcasting deal with Twitch, according to Dexerto, meaning the proverbial door for a YouTube return remained open.
