Broadcast and viewership
In early 2020, Activision Blizzard signed a three-year broadcasting rights deal with YouTube, making the streaming platform the exclusive broadcasting partner for the CDL. The 2023 CDL season marks the first season since the expiration of the deal.[6] In December 2022, the CDL announced that it would be broadcasting the entirety of the season exclusively on Twitch and its official website.[7]
The opening weekend of the 2023 season saw record viewership. The highest viewed match was OpTic Texas versus the Florida Mutineers, which reached a peak of over 190,000 on Twitch. The peak viewership made it the fourth-most watched CDL match of match of all time, only behind the three championship matches from 2020 to 2022.[8][9]
