We are so back. The 2024 season, like last season, will kick off just a few weeks before the actual start of the calendar year, with the first set of matches set for opening weekend on Friday, Dec. 8, just four weeks after Modern Warfare 3 releases. This year, two rebranded franchises will show off their new banners in the Carolina Royal Ravens and the Miami Heretics, and they will fittingly face each other during opening weekend, which will serve as qualifiers for the first Major to be hosted by Boston. There are plenty of rules and format details to dive into, so let's get started. CDL 2024 season format and schedule The 2024 season will be split into four stages; each stage will consist of several weeks of online qualifier matches, culminating in a Major tournament on LAN for the final weekend. Stage one and two will feature four weeks of qualifiers, while stages three and four will feature five weeks. Each team plays seven matches during a qualifier stage.
