Call of Duty's Monster Energy Launch Invitational streams November 6-8, 2026, and the official announcement says viewers can earn the Clawed Out Calling Card after 30 minutes on Twitch. The event opens the competitive Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 season and streams each day at 1:00 p.m. ET on the official Call of Duty broadcast channels. Read the official announcement.
The reward is a Twitch Drop, not a general viewership bonus. Call of Duty says the full broadcast also runs on YouTube, but the Clawed Out Calling Card is only earned on Twitch. That means viewers can follow the event anywhere, but only Twitch watch time counts toward this drop.
The source warns that watch time does not count retroactively, so an unlinked account or a late connection will not recover lost minutes. It also says watching across multiple tabs will not speed up progress, so fans should pick one eligible stream and stick with it.
If you cover Call of Duty or publish a stream schedule for your community, this is the kind of event where the details matter. Viewers can miss the reward if they watch on YouTube, use a Twitch channel without Drops enabled, or forget to claim the item in their Twitch inventory. The announcement makes the Twitch-only requirement explicit, so a simple reminder post can save your audience from missing the drop.
The invitational runs Friday, November 6 through Sunday, November 8. Each broadcast day starts at 1:00 p.m. ET, with the group stage on Day 1, the double-elimination bracket on Day 2, and the upper final, lower final, and Grand Final on Day 3. The field includes all 12 Call of Duty League teams plus four Challengers teams, and the event carries a $100,000 prize pool.
