Activision, the publisher of the Call of Duty franchise, has revealed the prize breakdown for its World Series of Warzone 2025 event.

Ahead of the season-ending event for the battle royale title, the publisher has showcased how the prize pool will be distributed.

The World Series of Warzone is the biggest battle royale tournament operated by Activision. 50 teams from around the world will compete for a share of a $1m (~£742,972) prize pool and the chance to be crowned the world’s best Call of Duty: Warzone team.

While the full prize breakdown has been revealed, details about the event’s venue have not been disclosed. The 2024 event took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, while the 2023 tournament was held at London’s Copper Box Arena.

Last year’s event was won by Team Falcons, which went on to win Warzone’s debut tournament at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The title will return to the multi-title event with its tournament taking place from August 6th to 9th.

Warzone’s esports circuit has continued to grow in recent years, with several organisations expanding into the battle royale title. In May, Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP) signed a team to compete in the competition. Ahead of the regional finals, the team was removed due to one of the players receiving a controversial ban.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
