The 2026 Call of Duty League season is built around Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, with three competitive modes: Hardpoint, Search & Destroy, and Overload. The map list reported at the Nov. 25, 2025 settings reveal is mode-specific:
| Mode | Maps in the Nov. 25, 2025 reveal |
|---|---|
| Hardpoint | Blackheart, Colossus, Den, Exposure, Scar |
| Search & Destroy | Colossus, Den, Exposure, Raid, Scar |
| Overload | Den, Exposure, Scar |
What the 2026 reveal established
The table reflects the settings announced on Nov. 25, 2025, as reported by Dot Esports. Hardpoint and Search & Destroy each had five listed maps; Overload had three. Den, Exposure, and Scar appeared in all three mode pools.
The season rules identify Black Ops 7 as the featured game and direct competitors to the CDL Competitive Settings page for current competitive settings and map-veto information. The announced modes are also present in Activision’s Season 02 Ranked Play notes.
Is this still the live CDL map pool?
That is not confirmed here. The Nov. 25, 2025 list is a dated reveal, not proof of the rotation in effect on Oct. 8, 2026. The official live settings page is the appropriate place to check for later changes, but its current map list could not be verified. Use the table as the reveal-era pool rather than assuming every map remains in competition.

Activision’s Season 02 notes list Blackheart, Colossus, Den, Exposure, Raid, and Scar among maps available in Ranked Play. That corroborates the maps’ presence in the game’s competitive playlist, but Ranked Play is distinct from the CDL’s live rules and does not establish the league’s current rotation. For season context, see the official 2026 Challengers rules.
