The 2020 Call of Duty League season was the inaugural season for the Call of Duty League, an esports league based on the video game franchise Call of Duty.
The Call of Duty League began a partnership with YouTube to become the exclusive streaming service for the league. At least 331,000 viewers watched the grand final of the CDL championship.
On July 4, Philip âÂÂMomoâ Whitfield was fired from the league after several allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced on the internet. Ten days later, Ben âÂÂBensonâ Bowe revealed he's no longer working with the league. Although his legal counsel "advised him not to say why", some reported it was due to similar reasons to Momo. Thomas "Chance" Ashworth worked with Miles Ross for the rest of the season. On July 10, the league added Landon âÂÂLandOâ Sanders and Jeremy âÂÂStuDyyâ Astacio to become the third casting pair in the wake of Momo and Benson departing.
