How to watch Rokkr Royale Warzone event ft. Celebrities & pro players
Minnesota RokkrProfessional Call of Duty franchise Minnesota Røkkr are hosting their very own Warzone charity tournament, with a $40,000 prize pool for charities of the winner’s choosing, as well as raising money for the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital.
Warzone is the hottest battle royale game right now, just released in March to acclaim from players and critics alike, and the professional players are already getting competitive in tournaments.
With the Call of Duty League on hold, and many events canceled, Røkkr is helping to give starved fans some much-needed competitive content, all while raising money for good causes.

We expect many of the competitors, which includes a variety of pro players, streamers and celebrities, to be streaming on their personal channels too.
The event begins at 1PM PT / 3PM CT / 4PM EST / 9PM BST on Saturday, April 4.

How to Donate
The Røkkr Royale is about more than just the competition itself, with $40,000 in prize money up for grabs to be donated to a charity of the winner’s choosing.

“Players picking their charities has been great to see and hopefully will stoke some competitiveness during the tourney,” said Brett Diamond, Røkkr’s COO. “At the end of the day we’re all asking ourselves how we can help those in need during this situation, and we appreciate the opportunity to create some positivity during a tough time for many people.”
