The HCS 2025 itinerary outlines the venues and timelines for significant competitions, including the Halo World Championship event.

At long last, the moment we’ve all been eagerly anticipating has arrived! We’re now in Year 4 of Halo Infinite within the HCS, and the 2025 roadmap has been unveiled. For the first time, we caught a glimpse of the collaborative teams joining us, the playing fields and game modes they’ll be battling on, and naturally, the events planned for every month throughout this exciting year.

Let’s take a look at the roadmap as we prepare for another incredible year of Halo esports.

New HCS partnered teams for 2025

In preparation for Year 4 of the Halo Championship Series in 2025, there’s a shift in partnered teams. Teams Quadrant and Sentinels have left the partnership program, but this doesn’t guarantee they won’t participate in the game during the season.

Greetings at Shopify Rebellion and Team SoloMid (TSM)! Shopify Rebellion has been a dominant force in the Halo Infinite esports scene for quite some time now, while TSM is simply a household name in the world of esports. Their influence on this industry is undeniable, and we’re eager to see who’s part of their teams this time around!
