Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2025 Announced With $1,000,000 Prize Pool

Activision has officially unveiled the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship 2025, and this year’s competition is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever. Featuring a staggering $1,000,000 prize pool, the global esports event returns with a brand-new regional addition and an exciting new division system that aims to make competitive play more accessible to everyone.

🔥 A New Format: Introducing the Division System

For the first time in COD Mobile esports history, the 2025 World Championship will feature a two-division structure designed to create a more level playing field:

• Legendary Division: For players ranked Legendary or Grandmaster. This division is the direct path to the World Championship Finals, where players will battle for their share of the $1 million prize pool.
• Open Division: Open to all other ranks. While players here won’t advance to the main championship finals, they’ll compete for CP prizes and FaceIt points in Stage 3, with potential pathways into future Open-level tournaments.

This new structure allows players of all skill levels to participate in the action without immediately facing top-tier opponents — giving lower-ranked players a competitive environment suited to their level.
