Call of Duty League Championship Weekend 2023 to be held in Las Vegas
The location of the 2023 Call of Duty League Championship Weekend has been rumoured for a long time. Esports Illustrated reported on the rumours back on April 11, and they have finally been confirmed, with the Call of Duty League heading to Las Vegas for Champs.
The 2023 Call of Duty League Championship Weekend will be held in Las Vegas at the Thomas & Mack Center UNLV on June 15-18. This is a much earlier date than we are used to for the Call of Duty League Championship Weekend, but this is due to the earlier start of the season this year, starting in December compared to the usual start of February.
The Thomas and Mack Center is located on the University of Nevada campus, and has a maximum capacity of over 18,000. Given the modifications needed to host an esports event, this will much likely be more towards a maximum of around 10,000. This would bring it closer to the maximum capacity of the Galen Center for last year's CDL Champs which was also 10,000.
To get CDL Champs tickets, you can sign up for a presale using this link. The presale takes place on April 19 at 10am PT, with the regular sale starting at the same time on April 21. Ticket prices are as follows:
- CDL Playoffs - Individual Day Ticket - $25.00
- CDL Playoffs - Three Day Pass (Thursday - Saturday) - $50.00
- CDL Sunday Championship Ticket - $50.00
There is also much more to potentially look forward to at the 2023 Championship Weekend, as we could see an announcement for the next iteration of the Call of Duty series, or some announcements surrounding the Call of Duty League.
The road to Champs has well and truly begun, with the Call of Duty League Major 4 begins this week, and it could be the most important Major of them all in the run in for Champs qualification. Only the top eight teams in the CDL standings qualify to play at the Championship Weekend, and there are a few teams just on the edge that could have their season made, or destroyed at this Major.
Major 4 begins on April 20 at 1:30pm ET and as always can be watched on the Call of Duty Twitch or YouTube Channels.
