CDL Career Mode
Your ultimate Call of Duty League management experience
Welcome to CDL Career Mode
Hey! My friend and I built CDL Career Mode and we're excited to share it with you.
This is a Call of Duty League career simulator with two ways to play. Manager Mode puts you in the front office — pick a team, run the roster, negotiate contracts, set strategies, and chase a championship across a full CDL season. MyPlayer Mode drops you into a single pro's shoes from the Challengers grind up through the CDL, with archetype-based stats, scout heat, sponsor deals, tweet drama, and contract renegotiations.
Both modes are playable across three universes — the current 2026 CDL, the 2019 Modern Warfare 5v5 era, and the 2016 Black Ops 3 CWL — each with their own rosters, ruleset, and game modes.
The whole game is free for everyone: Manager mode, MyPlayer mode, every universe, cloud saves across devices, advanced analytics, the desktop app, and the lifetime stats dashboard. Nothing is locked behind a paywall.
Hope you enjoy it!
Quick Start Guide
Pick Your Mode
Choose Manager to run a team or MyPlayer to play as a single pro. Both start from the home page. Then pick which universe you want to play in — modern CDL, MW19, or BO3 CWL.
Build Your Setup
Manager: pick a team, set your active 4 + bench, sign free agents and propose trades. MyPlayer: pick an archetype (Slayer / IGL / Anchor / Flex / Clutch), tune your starting stats, and start the Challengers grind to get scouted by CDL orgs.
Create Your Profile
Set your name + tag, pick difficulty and league options. In Manager you'll also pick a starting team with its own budget and roster. In MyPlayer you'll go through Creator setup — looks, archetype, starting stats, and a hometown that affects which orgs scout you first.
Play the Season
Sim matches with live play-by-play, watch chemistry build, get into bidding wars at free agency, deal with injuries, negotiate sponsors, and try to lift the trophy. Career wraps with an awards ceremony and your stats stamped on the GOAT page.
