OverActive Media Announces Call of Duty League Championship Weekend

The 2025 Call of Duty League Championship will be hosted by OverActive Media Group in Toronto and held at Kitchener Memorial Auditorium in the Waterloo region from June 26–29.

It will be the first time the competitive Call of Duty event will be hosted outside of the United States. The four-day tournament will bring together the top eight teams to battle for prize money and bragging rights on a a 360-degree stage setup.

“Bringing the Call of Duty League Championship to Canada is a defining moment for OverActive Media,” said Adam Adamou, co-founder and chief executive officer for OverActive Media. “As Canadian businesses are looking for new ways to drive economic growth, this event will bring significant tourism, business and commercial opportunities to the region. We are proud to host a world-class event that highlights Canada’s role as a major player in the global esports industry.”

OverActive Media’s hosting of the championship follows major tournaments in Toronto (2022, 2023, 2024) and the 2025 Major I event in Spain, hosted in partnership with Movistar KOI, an OverActive-owned team. That event marked the first CDL tournament in Europe in five years.

“We are thrilled with the partnership with OverActive Media and to have the opportunity to bring one of the biggest esports events in the world to the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium,” said Allister Scorgie, director of sport hosting at Explore Waterloo Region. “Hosting this event demonstrates the incredible growth of esports here in Waterloo Region which will have an immense economic impact on our community. We’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of people to our community for this event, as well as the millions of spectators who will be introduced to Waterloo Region as they stream from around the globe.”
