The 2019 season of the Call of Duty® World League, Presented by PlayStation®4, begins today with CWL Las Vegas. Over 260 teams from around the world have made their way to the Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas for the season opener, making CWL Las Vegas the biggest open bracket event in league history with over 1,280 players scheduled to compete.
For the first time in Call of Duty® esports history, competition will feature five vs. five gameplay as players compete in Activision’s Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4 developed by Treyarch.
CWL Las Vegas will broadcast content for all three days, including Championship Sunday, across five dedicated streams on both MLG.com and Twitch.
Spectator passes are sold-out for the highly-anticipated event. For fans in attendance, a slew of unique experiences will be available onsite:
- Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4 ‘Blackout’: Walk-up and play with friends at the event or make a solo run versus other event attendees and online players.

- Photo Booth: Wield unique props from the Call of Duty ‘Zombies’ universe, snap a photo and share your experience from CWL Las Vegas.
