The In The Know Bowl is back again in 2022. The Call of Duty: Vanguard tournament matches professional football players with pro esports athletes to duke it out for a $10,000 donation to a charity of their choice.
The event kicks off on Feb. 11 at 5 p.m. PST / 8 p.m. EST and goes until 8 p.m. PST / 11 p.m. EST. While last year’s event was remote, this year’s ITK Bowl is coming to you live from the Hollywood Hills, in accordance with COVID-19 regulations.
This year’s event will be a single-elimination eight-team tournament played on Control where teams of two will face off in a best-of-three format following Call of Duty League rules and starting with a loadout of their choice.
Here’s a full list of the individual competitors:
