About Riyadh Falcons

The Riyadh Falcons are a Saudi Arabian professional Call of Duty League (CDL) esports team based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Originally founded as the Paris Legion by C0ntact Gaming, Paris was announced as one of the first five cities to host a CDL team. According to ESPN, the publisher was looking to sell slots for approximately $25 million per team. Despite being one of the first five cities to join the CDL, the team was the final one to unveil their branding on November 2, 2019. The organisation moved to Las Vegas ahead of the 2022 season, becoming the Vegas Legion. Before the 2025 season, the team was sold to Saudi esports organization Team Falcons and rebranded as the Vegas Falcons, then relocated again to Riyadh before the 2026 season becoming the Riyadh Falcons.
