The 2025–26 Call of Duty Premier League will be the 7th official competitive season of the Premier League's professional Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 singles circuit, and the 126th season of top-flight esports competition in the United Kingdom overall. The season is scheduled to run from 8 August 2025 to 17 May 2026, featuring eight professional players competing across a series of weekly events and league fixtures in a round-robin format.
Jackson Miller enters the season as the defending champion, having captured his first Premier League title during the previous season. He will aim to become the first player in CDPL history to win back-to-back titles in the singles era.
Format
The 2025–26 Call of Duty Premier League operates under a round-robin format, with each player facing every other competitor twice across 38 total matchups. Matches are played as best-of-five (Bo5) series, with a points system awarding 3 points for a win, 1 point for an overtime loss, and 0 for a regulation defeat.
At the end of the regular season, the top two players automatically secure their spots in the four-player Call of Duty Playoffs. The players finishing 3rd to 6th enter a Play-In bracket, where 3rd plays 6th and 4th plays 5th in single-elimination matches. The two winners of those matches claim the remaining two Playoff positions. The player finishing in last place is removed from the league entirely under the CDPL’s elimination policy for competitors who fail to earn a win, match victory, or point throughout the season.
Season summary
Round 1
First week
Defending champion Jackson Miller wasted no time asserting his dominance, dismantling Eli Price in a convincing 3–0 series. Miller controlled every map with clinical pacing and mechanical superiority, forcing Price into double-digit deaths in all three rounds. It was a ruthless showing from the titleholder, who looks determined to defend his crown. For Price, the result was a sobering reminder of the level required at the CDPL's highest tier. Corey Knight kicked off his season with a composed 3–1 victory over Reece Nolan, showcasing sharp objective control and consistent gunplay. While Nolan managed to steal a tightly contested Game 2 in Search & Destroy, Knight rebounded with disciplined rotations and superior slaying in Hardpoint and Control. The performance underlined Knight’s reputation as a player who thrives in structured environments, while Nolan will need to tighten his mid-map presence going forward. In what was arguably the match of the day, Tyler Gage and Victor Hart went the distance in a five-map showdown that ended 3–2 in Gage’s favor. Both players traded blow-for-blow across the series, with Hart nearly pulling off an upset in the Game 5 S&D. However, Gage’s composure in clutch scenarios proved the difference, as he closed out the decider 6–4 with a late three-kill round swing. It’s a tough loss for Hart, who looked sharp, but Gage’s experience saw him through.
Aidan Cross began his campaign with a statement win, defeating Marcus Hill 3–1 in a high-tempo series. Cross dictated pace from the outset, using aggressive flanks and smart nades to gain early map control. Hill answered back with a solid showing in Game 2 but couldn't match Cross's intensity on the respawn maps. With Cross returning to form after a quiet 2024, this result may be the early warning sign that the former three-time champion is hunting for title number four.
Second week
Jackson Miller extended his unbeaten start with a calculated 3–1 win over Marcus Hill. After losing the opening map in a shock upset, Miller rebounded with clinical play across Hardpoint and Search and Destroy to take the final three maps. Hill showed promise early but couldn’t maintain consistency as the match wore on.
Corey Knight edged past Victor Hart in a back-and-forth 3–2 thriller. The match went the full five maps, with both players trading momentum, but it was Knight’s poise under pressure in Game 5 that proved decisive. Despite the loss, Hart looked more composed than in Week 1 and pushed one of the title favorites to the brink.
Tyler Gage made light work of Eli Price, dispatching him in a commanding 3–0 sweep. Gage's superior map control and objective awareness left Price without answers across the board. With two losses and only one map won so far, Price’s debut season is already looking bleak.
Aidan Cross delivered another strong performance, defeating Reece Nolan 3–1 to remain unbeaten. Nolan managed to steal Map 2 in overtime, but Cross’s superior aim and rotations proved too much across the rest of the series. Cross is quietly building momentum toward a playoff spot.
