The stage is officially set for one of the biggest events in mobile esports. Activision has revealed the groups for the Call of Duty: Mobile World Championship Finals 2025, which will see the world’s best teams battling it out in Katowice, Poland, from November 7th to 9th.

A total of 16 teams from across the globe will fight for a share of the massive $850,000 USD prize pool. According to the rulebook, the groups were seeded based on each team’s regional performance and their results from last year, ensuring a balanced mix of both Eastern and Western squads.

Here’s how the groups are shaping up for CODM Champs 2025:

Group A: Elevate, EOCHITL Gaming, GodLike Esports, Amigos Gaming
Group B: Wolves, Street Gaming, Diavolos, Unmythic Dream
Group C: Galorys, Stand Point Gaming, Exclusive, Stalwart Esports
Group D: TLE Esports, S8UL Esports, B34R Clan, Qing Jiu Club

Group A features none other than the defending world champions, Elevate, who continue to dominate the competitive COD Mobile scene. The North American powerhouse has maintained its core roster since 2023 and remains nearly unstoppable since its flawless 2024 run. Elevate famously defeated China’s Qing Jiu Club in both the 2024 Summer Invitational and last year’s World Championship to claim back-to-back titles.

Speaking of Qing Jiu Club, the Chinese squad returns with a revamped line-up after that heartbreaking grand final loss, now featuring veteran player Kong ‘Dchen’ Zhuyu, who has been competing since 2019. With three new faces, the team is looking to rewrite its story this season.

Meanwhile, Wolves also enter the tournament as serious contenders. The Chinese organisation, which lifted the World Championship trophy back in 2023, is back with two of its title-winning players and recently claimed the 2025 Major earlier this year.

Another name to watch is Stalwart Esports, a Filipino team and long-time rival of Elevate. The squad made headlines after toppling the world champions at Garena Masters Season 9 last July, proving that the kings can bleed.

As for the tournament format, all teams will begin in a GSL-style group stage, where the top two from each group advance to the double-elimination play-offs. Every match leading up to the grand final will be a best-of-five, with the final showdown extending to a best-of-seven to crown the 2025 world champion.

The competition in Katowice is shaping up to be an all-out clash of titans, and with heavyweights like Elevate, Wolves, Stalwart, and Qing Jiu Club in the mix, fans can expect nothing less than explosive action all weekend long.
