The HCS 2024 roadmap is here with our first look at the year’s Majors and when the championship tournament will take place.

The demise of Halo and its competitive has always been greatly exaggerated. Considered one of the pioneers of modern esports, Halo will never truly fall off. And the HCS 2024 roadmap is a testament to that fact.

The roadmap shows four team-hosted Major tournaments in the Halo Championship Series. It all culminated in October with the 2024 Halo World Championship. With open series and qualifiers galore, Halo esports may be thriving once again by the end of the year.

The HCS 2024 roadmap delivers two splits, taking place from the start of February all the way until the beginning of October. Eight months of competitive Halo are in the cards for fans of one of the original console esport titles.

The four Majors found in the HCS 2024 roadmap take place in the southern portion of the united, with the exception of the second. That one goes international with a trip to London, hosted by Quadrant. Let's take a look at the competitions on horizon:

For this year of competition, there are seven partnered teams as a part of the 2024 HCS. Those are:

  • Cloud9
  • Complexity
  • FaZe Clan
  • OpTic Gaming
  • Quadrant
  • Sentinels
