Activision is setting the stage to identify the next champions of the immensely popular Call of Duty Mobile, announcing the commencement of a new COD Mobile Masters tournament series starting in June 2026. This semi-invitational competition will bring together 32 elite teams—16 from North America and 16 from Europe—to battle it out over five consecutive Mondays beginning June 14. With a substantial total prize pool of $100,000, evenly split at $50,000 per region, the stakes are high for professional and aspiring players alike. Fans can follow all the action for both the European and North American brackets through the official tournament organizer, GameBattles.

The path to the Masters is twofold. Activision has already extended direct invitations to a select group of teams based on their recent competitive performance, player rankings, and achievements in the prestigious 2025 COD Mobile World Championships. These pre-qualified squads represent some of the most formidable talent in the mobile esports scene.

North American Invited Teams:

For the vast majority of teams and players not on the invited list, the door to the Masters remains wide open through the Masters Open Qualifiers. Scheduled for May 29-30, 2026, these open brackets are expected to be fiercely contested, reflecting the game's colossal player base, which has now soared past 650 million downloads globally. This massive reach ensures that the qualifiers will be a true test of skill, drawing in top-tier talent from every corner of the community.

Once the final 32-team roster is locked in through the qualifiers and invites, the main event promises to deliver top-notch entertainment. All matches of the COD Mobile Masters will be broadcast live, offering multiple viewing options for fans. Audiences can watch the matches directly within the Call of Duty Mobile game client itself, as well as on the official Call of Duty: Mobile YouTube and Twitch channels, ensuring no one misses a moment of the action.

The announcement has electrified the competitive community, signaling Activision's continued investment in the title's esports ecosystem. With a structured tournament series, significant prize money, and high-profile broadcasting, the 2026 COD Mobile Masters is poised to be a landmark event, further cementing the game's status as a premier mobile esports title. For aspiring competitors, the message is clear: the opportunity to compete on a global stage and claim a share of the prize pool is just a few matches away in the open qualifiers.
