Call of Duty World League, Returns to Atlanta March 9-11, 2018

The 2018 Call of Duty® World League makes an epic return to Atlanta beginning today with the CWL Atlanta Open, Presented by PlayStation®4. Over 170 teams from around the world will compete in Call of Duty: WWII on PlayStation®4 at the Georgia World Congress Center from March 9-11.
