The Toronto Ultra are a Canadian professional esports organization based in Toronto. They are owned by OverActive Media. They currently have active divisions in Call of Duty and Teamfight Tactics, while their name is currently being used for OverActive Media's Overwatch 2 team, who are usually known as the Toronto Defiant.
The Ultra began its life as a professional Call of Duty League (CDL) team. Toronto was announced as one of the first five cities to host a CDL team for its inaugural 2020 season.[1] According to ESPN, the publisher was looking to sell slots for approximately $25 million per team.[2] The Ultra's CDL team has currently won 3 Majors, those being 2021 Major 2, 2023 Major 3 and 2024 Major 1.
As OverActive Media are a member of the Esports World Cup Foundation Club Support Program (funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund) via KOI, who they bought in 2024 from Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos,[3] [4] the Ultra name would be used at the 2024 Esports World Cup for their Call of Duty team, as well as a new Teamfight Tactics squad. In addition, the Toronto Defiant, OverActive Media's Overwatch 2 team, would rebrand to Toronto Ultra for that game's tournament.[5]
