Broadcast and viewership

In early 2020, Activision Blizzard signed a three-year broadcasting rights deal with YouTube, making the streaming platform the exclusive broadcasting partner for the CDL. The 2023 CDL season marks the first season since the expiration of the deal.{{cite news |title=SBJ Unpacks: Call of Duty League heads into season without media deal |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/SB-Blogs/SBJ-Unpacks/2022/11/30.aspx |access-date=December 20, 2022 |work=Sports Business Journal |date=November 30, 2022}} In December 2022, the CDL announced that it would be broadcasting the entirety of the season exclusively on Twitch and its official website.{{cite news |last1=Lyons |first1=Ben |title=Call of Duty League to stream on Twitch |url=https://www.gamereactor.eu/call-of-duty-league-to-stream-on-twitch-1224423/ |access-date=December 20, 2022 |work=Gamereactor UK |date=December 2, 2022}}
