We’ve already seen some major events in 2024, from CS2’s IEM Katowice to Call of Duty’s CDL Stage 1 Major. The good news, however, is the best is still yet to come, with more competition, more tournaments, and more trophies to be won.

Staying across everything that’s happening can be tricky, though. That’s why we’ve put together a calendar detailing every major championship occurring across as many games as possible. We’ll be updating this article as more tournaments are announced too, so make sure to keep checking back.
