CS2 players will have a lot of competitive opportunities in the 2024 calendar.
CS2’s 2025 calendar is busier than ever. There are still several months to go until next year, but dates are already being announced. It’s not just BLAST and ESL doing competitive circuits; PGL and StarLadder have also revealed the dates for their 2025 events, too.
Unlike other competitive games, players and teams already have access to the 2025 CS2 calendar several months in advance.
Why the changes in the calendar?
CS2’s competitive calendar for 2025 will mark some changes in the landscape of the scene. On Aug 23, 2025,Valve announcedthat from 2025, circuits with franchised teams will not be allowed. The CS2 developer also laid out some rules starting at the beginning of next year:
These rules aim to achieve greater equality between everyone in the CS2 competitive scenario and equal opportunities for everyone. The format or other details about the competitions for 2025 have not yet been revealed.
The next CS2 Major this year will be in the U.S. in Austin, Texas. The last Major in North America was the ELEAGUE Boston Major and, after several in Europe with one in Brazil in between, we can expect some noise from the community for the Major to return to that region.
