The 2024 World Series of Warzone is getting ever closer, and the first set of teams have started to etch their names in attendance at the Global Final. Here’s everything we know about the World Series of Warzone this year including who has qualified, the schedule, and more.
The World Series of Warzone has been a landmark tournament for COD battle royale competitors each year since 2021, with 2023 marking the first time it was hosted on LAN, with spectators in attendance and a trophy for the players to take home.
In 2023, players gathered in London for the event. The trios competition was won by Biffle, Sage, and Shifty, while Skullface won the Solo YOLO $100k tournament. In the past, we’ve even seen top names like former OpTic Gaming CDL pro Seth ‘Scump’ Abner winning it all, with his widely celebrated Verdansk solo win, taking down Aydan in the final 1v1.
2024 looks set to be much different, though. Here’s what we know.
Dates & WSOW schedule
The 2024 World Series of Warzone Global Finals will be held in Las Vegas at the Orleans Arena on September 14th and 15th.
All matches can be watched on the official Call of Duty YouTube or Twitch channels.
Format & map for World Series of Warzone
While the ranked play modes in Warzone have been on Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep, World Series of Warzone will be taking place on Urzikstan.
The qualification format was explained as follows:
After a qualification period, 40 trios worldwide earned a spot in the Global Finals. There will be six matches on the first day of the Global Finals, and the overall standings from day one determine the WSOW point advantage each trio receives for the second day of action.

The match point format on day two awards one point per elimination and a separate set of points based on placement. For example, squads earn 15 points for placing first or 10 for placing second.
Once a team reaches 100 points, they must win an additional match to secure the victory officially. So, even if a squad reaches 100 points, other squads still have a chance to catch up until they win another game. As a result, multiple teams reach the 100-point threshold, and winning one final game becomes an intense race.

Public Event Adjustments:
- Circle 3: Fire Sale
- No other public events will occur
