Call of Duty fans will have a chance to win early access beta codes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 by watching the seventh annual Call of Duty Endowment Bowl on June 20. The live event will also offer unlockable rewards for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone, making it worth watching for players who want free in game items before Modern Warfare 4 arrives later this year.
The broadcast will begin at 9 AM PT and 12 PM ET on the official Call of Duty Twitch and YouTube channels. The event is being held from San Diego Race Weekend and will bring together military esports teams from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, along with well known Call of Duty creators.
The Call of Duty Endowment Bowl is not only a promotional event for the series. It is connected to the Call of Duty Endowment, a nonprofit founded in 2009 by Activision Blizzard to help military veterans in the United States and United Kingdom find meaningful civilian careers. The organization has helped more than 169,000 veterans find employment since it began.
How to watch the Call of Duty Endowment Bowl
The seventh C.O.D.E. Bowl will stream live on June 20 through Call of Duty’s official Twitch and YouTube channels. Viewers only need to tune in during the broadcast to watch the Warzone competition and take part in the reward campaign.
Creator captains and participating creators include names such as Swagg, Sophie Snazz, Repullze, Huskerrs, Swishem, BennyCentral, Emzy, and Joewo. They will compete alongside military esports teams in Call of Duty: Warzone.
For players mainly interested in the Modern Warfare 4 beta, the key detail is that early access beta codes will be shared during the live broadcast. Activision has not confirmed the open beta dates yet, so this event is one of the first chances to get access before wider availability.
What rewards viewers can unlock
To earn the Black Ops 7 and Warzone rewards, players must link their Activision account to either Twitch or YouTube before watching the event. Once the accounts are linked, viewing time during the broadcast will unlock rewards.
| Reward | Game use |
|---|---|
| Paint Trader weapon blueprint | Black Ops 7 and Warzone |
| Brain Bucket weapon charm | Black Ops 7 and Warzone |
| Burn Rubber animated emblem | Black Ops 7 and Warzone |
| Finish Line spray | Black Ops 7 and Warzone |
| Modern Warfare 4 beta code chance | Early access beta opportunity |
The longer you watch, the more rewards you can unlock. This is a familiar format for Call of Duty events, but the Modern Warfare 4 beta code chance gives this year’s C.O.D.E. Bowl extra attention.
Modern Warfare 4 preorders also include early access
Players who miss out on a beta code during the event will still have another option. Modern Warfare 4 preorders include early access to the beta, along with campaign early access beginning October 16.
The full game launches on October 23 for Xbox Series X and S, PS5, PC through Battle.net, Xbox on PC, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2. Despite Call of Duty now being part of Microsoft’s first party lineup, Modern Warfare 4 will not arrive on Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass until one year after launch.
That detail makes the preorder offer more important for players who want early access and do not want to wait. It also shows Microsoft is treating this year’s Call of Duty release differently from some other Xbox owned games.
The C.O.D.E. Bowl remains a mix of charity, esports, and promotion
The Call of Duty Endowment Bowl has become a regular part of the series’ yearly calendar. It gives Activision a way to promote the next Call of Duty while also highlighting the Endowment’s veteran employment work.
This year’s event has more weight because Modern Warfare 4 is one of the biggest upcoming releases in the franchise. A beta code giveaway should bring in viewers, while the Black Ops 7 and Warzone rewards give current players a reason to keep watching.
For anyone planning to play Modern Warfare 4, the June 20 broadcast is worth keeping on the schedule. It may be the easiest way to get an early beta code without preordering, while also unlocking a few extra cosmetics for the current Call of Duty ecosystem.
