Valve is shifting the dates for future Counter-Strike 2 Majors

They will now take place in the middle and at the end of a season.
Ben Lyons Senior Editor 20 July 2023

While Valve has already confirmed that the first Counter-Strike 2 Major will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark in March 2024, following this event it seems like there will be a rather significant change to when Majors are hosted.

As HLTV notes, Valve is shifting Majors to now be an event in the middle and at the end of a competitive season. Specifically, it's noted that in 2025, we can look forward to a Major between June 9-22 and December 1-14, and in 2026, the Majors will be between June 8-21 and November 30 and December 13.

As these are just the dates for the events, we can likely look forward to more in-depth information in 2024, once the inaugural CS2 Major has wrapped up.
