How to prepare for the Call of Duty League Major in Dallas

The Call of Duty League Major in Dallas will bring live matches, merch drops, and fan events to Moody Coliseum from Jan 29 to Feb 1, 2026, meaning players and fans need a practical game plan to get the most out of a weekend of pro-level action. Buy official tickets from the league’s authorized seller as early as possible to avoid scalpers and check the published schedule for match start times and fan activities.

Travel and lodging choices will shape how much of the event you can attend. Choose accommodations near Moody Coliseum to minimize transit time and check local transit and parking rules. If you fly, book flights that arrive the day before your first session and leave the day after the final match to avoid the busiest travel windows and last-minute stress.

Pack for the arena environment and for long days. Bring a valid photo ID for age-restricted areas or prize pick-ups, printed or mobile tickets, a portable battery for phones, ear protection for loud matches, and a small bag that meets venue size and prohibited item rules. Dress in comfortable layers since arenas can be chilly indoors and warm outside. Carry cash or a card for food and merch, and set a clear budget: event-exclusive items often sell out fast, so line up early if there’s a must-have or check the official merch store for post-event stock.

Health and safety are simple but crucial. Respect venue rules, follow staff directions, stay hydrated, and plan meeting points with friends in case cell service gets congested. If you have accessibility needs, contact the venue in advance for assistance to avoid surprises on arrival.

To maximize your experience, follow the CDL and team social accounts for schedule updates, autograph lines, and surprise announcements. Floor seats and lower bowl areas deliver the best views and reaction moments but cost more; arrive early for floor access and vendor or merch drops. If you need to step out for food or transit, the league posts VODs and highlights on official channels and the league site (activision.com) so you can catch missed matches later.

Confirm dates, venue details, and ticketing links with the official Call of Duty League or host-city pages before you travel (example event info at visitdallas.com). With tickets secured, travel times planned, and a compact checklist in your bag, you’ll be ready to lock in the experience and enjoy live CDL energy from first kickoff to the final round.
