Toronto Ultra have officially lifted the curtain on their roster for the 2026 Call of Duty League (CDL) season, and it’s a mix of familiar faces and one fiery new addition ready to make a mark.

The team’s reveal video, shared across social media on October 9, showcased the line-up of Joseph “JoeDeceives” Romero, Tobias “CleanX” Juul Jønsson, Jamie “Insight” Craven, and newcomer José “ReeaL” Manuel Fernández. Fans and fellow pros flooded the announcement with excitement, with replies filled with purple hearts and words of encouragement like “Congrats beasts 💜” and “Can’t wait for this year man 👀🫶.”

Familiar Core, New Firepower

Three of the four players, JoeDeceives, CleanX, and Insight, return after representing Toronto through the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 season. Their consistency has been one of the team’s biggest strengths, and that foundation now gets a boost with the addition of ReeaL, formerly of Miami Heretics.

The Spaniard’s move to Ultra came amid some off-season tension. Miami Heretics alleged that ReeaL had broken a verbal agreement to play for them in Black Ops 7. However, both the player and his agency denied any wrongdoing, and he now joins Ultra looking to make a statement on the CDL stage.

The Return of Insight

Insight’s inclusion is another major talking point. After declaring unrestricted free agency in August 2025, many fans wondered if he’d continue with Toronto. Those questions were put to rest on October 8 when Ultra officially confirmed his return.

Alongside CleanX, Insight forms one of the most established duos in Call of Duty history. The pair have competed together under the Ultra banner since October 2020, building one of the most consistent partnerships in the League.

For CleanX, 2026 will be his seventh straight year donning Toronto’s purple, having joined shortly after the franchise’s formation in 2019 under OverActive Media. His longevity and leadership continue to be the backbone of Ultra’s identity.

Building on 2025’s Momentum

During the Black Ops 6 season, Toronto Ultra were one of the most consistent teams on the CDL circuit. With top-three finishes at Major 2 and Major 3, plus respectable top-six placements at Major 1 and Major 4, the squad comfortably earned their spot at the 2025 CDL Championship.

Despite a strong start at Champs, including a 3-1 victory over the Carolina Royal Ravens, back-to-back losses to OpTic Texas and Vancouver Surge saw them exit in sixth place. Still, the team proved they could compete with the best, and with ReeaL’s addition, fans are expecting Toronto to push even harder for a title in Black Ops 7.

This announcement also comes just days after the organisation’s recent collaboration with Monster Gaming for the Toronto Ultra Hot Drop Warzone tournament, a $25,000 event that showcased the team’s growing influence across the Call of Duty esports ecosystem.

Heading into the 2026 season, Ultra’s line-up blends chemistry, experience, and a renewed hunger to win. With their roster now locked in, the countdown to CDL’s December return is officially on.
