How to get Modern Warfare 2 beta code by watching CDL Champs

After linking your Call of Duty and YouTube accounts, watching live CDL matches on Championship Sunday (August 7) will put your hat in the ring to get one of 50,000 Modern Warfare 2 beta codes.

These are random drops, so be sure to check your notifications on the CDL website or the CoD Companion app to see if you’ve been granted one.

That’s not the only viewership reward available on Championship Sunday, as players can also earn the Champs Ring as a Weapon Charm, an Automaton] Blueprint, and the Down to the Wire Operator — just for watching two hours of gameplay.

Plus, if you’re attending the Championship Sunday at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, you’ll be guaranteed a beta code.

How to link Call of Duty and YouTube accounts

Here’s how to link your Call of Duty and YouTube accounts to be in with a chance of earning a Modern Warfare 2 beta code:

  1. Open YouTube.com or the YouTube app
  2. Select your profile photo in the top right and hit Settings
  3. Head to Connected Apps
  4. Locate Activision ID and click on Connect
  5. Sign in to your Activision account

Once connected, make sure you’re watching the CDL matches live through YouTube or the Call of Duty League website. We recommend watching through the CDL website as you can track your viewership reward progress and see the notification if you earn a beta code.
