Sources have confirmed that DreamHack is set to return to the United Kingdom, bringing with it both Dota 2 and the Call of Duty League — marking the CDL’s first UK appearance since the Modern Warfare season at London’s Copper Box Arena.
Originally reported by Insider Gaming and later confirmed by Dexerto, the event is scheduled to take place at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in March 2026. While the exact timing could shift slightly, DreamHack UK is currently expected to run from March 26–29, 2026.
According to Dexerto sources, the CDL event will be part of the Black Ops 7 season’s Major II, and this won’t be the league’s only stop in Europe — Major IV is set to take place in Paris later in the season.
DreamHack is a major gaming festival known for blending esports competitions, LAN parties, music, streaming, and gaming culture into a single event. The UK edition in 2026 aims to fill the gap left by Insomnia events, with a strong esports lineup already confirmed.
While one headlining title is still unannounced, Dota 2 and the Call of Duty League are officially on the schedule for DreamHack UK 2026.
