Call of Duty League rostermania – All confirmed 2025 CDL roster changes and rumors

The 2024 competitive Call of Duty season is officially over, which means it’s finally time to enter the most chaotic and drama-filled part of the CoD calendar: rostermania.

The Call of Duty League season ended in July with OpTic Texas hoisting the trophy at CoD Champs 2024, but the final professional MW3 event was the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia from Aug. 15 to 18. Immediately after that event wrapped up, CDL pros and orgs alike started announcing free agent statuses and roster moves ahead of the Black Ops 6 season in 2025.

Here are all the roster moves that CDL teams have announced so far in the 2024-2025 offseason. This article will be updated over the next few months before the eventual start of the 2025 CDL season.
