For viewers at home, you can tune into the livestreams of COD NEXT on the official Call of Duty channels on YouTube and Twitch. But as mentioned earlier, for fans at home, they can also grab a few in-game rewards for watching the livestreams. Check out the section below to learn more!
All COD NEXT Viewership Rewards and How To Get Them
The following are all the COD NEXT viewership rewards:
- “Call of Duty NEXT” Calling Card
- “Call of Duty NEXT” Emblem
- “Black Ops 7” Weapon Charm
- Black Ops 7 Early Access Beta key
To earn them, simply tune into the official COD NEXT livestream when the event kicks off. But before you start watching, make sure your Activision account has been linked with your Twitch/YouTube account. Furthermore, it is worth noting here that all these rewards are redeemable in Black Ops 7 only. But if you’re in it only for the Beta key, then you must note a few things.

Watch the #CODNext broadcast on Twitch for 1 hour and receive a code for early access to #BlackOps7 Beta! pic.twitter.com/Wxo2OxdZL5
Unique Black Ops 7 Early Access Beta codes are exclusive to the official Twitch livestream. To earn it, you must watch the event for at least one hour. However, if you intend to watch it on YouTube, you will not receive a key drop directly. Instead, throughout the stream, COD will share beta keys that fans must redeem at the earliest, and access isn’t guaranteed as well. Hence, if getting an Early Access key for the Black Ops 7 Beta is your objective, it’s recommended to view the event on Twitch.
That covers just about everything that you need to know about COD NEXT 2025. Do note that any rewards you earn must be redeemed within 48 hours of the event.
