The 2021 season kicks off on Saturday, Jan. 23 at 3:00 p.m. ET. Fans can watch the event on the official Call of Duty League YouTube channel like you could in 2020. As this is the first event of the year though, expect some technical difficulties and even delays to occur throughout the weekend. The Kickoff Classic will start at the same time on both Jan. 23 and 24.

As for the individual matches, each one was hand-picked by the fans on Twitter. Each CDL organization sent out a poll, asking fans to vote for which matchup they wanted to see. Naturally, there are some juicy head-to-heads that should be a great indicator of how some teams stack up against the competition.
