A New Game on the Battlefield
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be the title for 2027 competition, according to Inven Global’s report on the Birmingham announcement. That means new maps, weapons and meta for every team to master.
Back to the UK and Europe
Per Insider Gaming, the league is returning to both Europe and the United Kingdom. Birmingham’s DreamHack, which hosted 2026’s fastest-selling COD esports event, comes back in April, and its Major II will feature the first Pro-Am of the season, putting the top four Challengers teams against the 12 pro teams.
Reported Format Changes
