The Call of Duty League has revealed that the 2026 COD Championship will take place at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The city was previously revealed exclusively by Insider Gaming in a September 2025 report, but the venue has now been locked in as tickets go on general sale later today.
Those who secured pre-sale access can get the drop five hours earlier than regular customers. To reiterate, the Call of Duty League Championship 2026 weekend will unfold from July 16 – 19.
Back to Vegas for COD Champs
The 2023 Call of Duty League Championship, which saw the New York Subliners defeat Toronto Ultra in a stunning 5-0 grand final, also took place in Las Vegas. It was housed at the Thomas & Mack Center, while the venue for this year’s COD Champs will be the Michelob Ultra Arena (MUA).
In terms of location and accommodation, the MUA is directly connected to Mandalay Bay Resort. It’s a site capable of hosting 10,000 fans, and it promises to be a fairly stunning event, all things considered.
The Call of Duty League hasn’t got off to the best start in terms of impressions and viewership, but things are expected to pick up as the first Major of the season draws closer. It hasn’t been helped by Black Ops 7, this season’s competitive title, receiving record-low sales numbers and ill sentiments from the community.
Call of Duty League Championship 2026 tickets will go on sale later today at 10 AM CST for pre-sale customers and 3 PM CST for the general public.
