HCS 2025 roadmap revealed, includes new partnered teams, event dates, maps, and modes

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here. Year 4 of Halo Infinite in the HCS is here, with the 2025 roadmap revealed. We were given our first look at new partnered teams, the maps and modes being played, and of course, all of the events throughout the year.

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

There is a change in partnered teams for the Halo Championship Series as we approach Year 4 in 2025. Both Quadrant and Sentinels have exited the partnership program, but that does not mean they won’t necessarily compete in the game throughout the season.

Welcome to Shopify Rebellion and TSM, taking their place. Shopify Rebellion has been a mainstay of Halo Infinite esports for years now and TSM, well, is TSM. Their impact in esports cannot be overstated, and we’re excited to see what their roster looks like.

The year actually starts with a special event that isn’t included in the full HCS 2025 roadmap. This is Kaysan’s Showdown. He’s a member of FaZe Clan and is hosting a $50K LAN tournament on March 29 via his Twitch channel. There won’t be an audience, but you can tune into the stream.

Following that, we get into the HCS we know and love with team-hosted Majors and then the World Championship. Here are all of the know details for each:

Halo Studios said fans should expect the presentation and design of Worlds to be bigger and better than ever before. And they believe this will be the best HCS yet, with the 2025 roadmap dishing out very high expectations.
